WAKAME “PLEASANTLY SOFT & SMOOTH – NATURAL VEGAN FIBERS MADE FROM SEAWEED AND CELLULOSE.”
More and more people adopt a vegan lifestyle that is health conscious and environmentally aware. As an alternative to cotton, bamboo and other natural fibers, LANA GROSSA has added WAKAME to its Linea Pura collection, an innovative blend of SeaCell™ and organic cotton. SeaCell™ combines fashion with builtin skincare. The secret behind SeaCell™ is a cellulose-based fiber made from seaweed. Seaweed used in SeaCell™ grows in geothermal springs, 1000 m below the ocean’s surface and is harvested only once a year off the coast of Iceland under careful and sustainable conditions. It is free of pollutants and rich in vital trace elements. NATURAL & VITALIZING With its medically proven regenerative properties, seaweed has a long tradition in Thalassotherapy. Because of its skin-nourishing benefits, it is also found in many cosmetic products.
THE WELLNESS EFFECT It is seaweed which is the basis of the SeaCell™ fiber. SeaCell™ is produced without the use of chemicals. Rich in antioxidants, seaweed has been proven to repair and restore skin and protect it from environmental damages and free radicals. It could very well be called “textile anti-aging skin care”. SeaCell™ adds incredible softness and breathability to textiles and facilitates the active exchange of vital nutrients such as vitamin E, calcium and magnesium between clothing and skin. Clothing made of SeaCell™ contributes to an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being. WAKAME, a new addition to LANA GROSSA’S lineup of natural fibers is an innovative blend of SeaCell™ and organic cotton. Light and breathable, WAKAME is a true all-season yarn that feels super soft and comfortable against skin. It provides excellent temperature control and moisture management so you’ll stay warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s warm. Patented SeaCell™ technology uses a natural cellulose-based fiber that serves as a substrate for the seaweed, thereby locking in the seaweed‘s revitalizing properties for the skin which remain locked in even when machine washed.
