SMARTCEL is a cellulose fiber enriched with a vital zinc oxide which has protective and nurturing effects on the skin. In textiles this fiber has unique and excellent properties.

The zinc oxide contained within SMARTCEL fibers is especially good at protecting skin. These properties have a positive effect on people with sensitive skin or those with skin conditions such as eczema or neurodermatitis. Therefore SMARTCEL enhances the quality of life.

Zinc oxide also protects the skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays which can damage our skin cells. Zinc oxide, as well as having positive effects on the skin, has antibacterial and odor-minimizing properties which keep textiles feeling fresher for longer.

The closed-loop system ensures that we operate in a sustainable manner.

SMARTCEL is produced using this innovative and eco-friendly process. A closed-loop production method that works with nature and during which no chemicals are released as waste. The fibers are made from eco-friendly, low-resource, and 100% biodegradable natural materials. That is why this process won the “Process Innovation” award at the European Business Awards for the Environment.

SMARTCEL fibers have been tested and approved by several independent institutes for their quality and effectiveness.
