HeiQ unveils biobased skin care technology for textiles

HeiQ, a global leader in textile innovation, has launched a groundbreaking skin care technology for clothing and home textiles. This new addition to the HeiQ lineup is a 100% biobased solution that utilizes active probiotics and selected prebiotics to enhance the skin’s microbiome, making it the perfect choice for next-to-skin apparel.

HeiQ Skin Care is a special finish for textiles designed to provide a balanced microbiome for healthy and radiant skin, even after repeated use and washing. Unlike traditional products, HeiQ Skin Care incorporates slow-release prebiotics and probiotics seamlessly into a biobased textile matrix. This enriches the diversity of the skin’s microbiome, offering long-lasting cosmetic benefits.

Mike Abbott, Head of HeiQ Textiles & Flooring Business Unit, expresses excitement about HeiQ Skin Care, calling it a leap forward in textile innovation. The technology combines probiotics and prebiotics to enhance the skin’s microbiome, aligning with HeiQ’s commitment to improving lives through cutting-edge textile advancements.

HeiQ Skin Care is suitable for all textile fibers, whether natural or synthetic, and can be applied to items in direct contact with the skin. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for daily use, whether at work, during sports, leisure activities, or as bedding items like bed sheets and pillows.
