MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
FUNCTIONAL DURABLE SUSTAINABLE
No matter where you go and no matter what you do, your clothes should improve your day and not interfere with the rush of the moment or memorable experiences.
We have experienced these frustrations, and is part of what motivates us to develop innovative technologies that expand the horizon of possibilities for what textile products can be, but also should be.
We develop sustainable products that utilize renewably sourced, plant-based materials to minimize our impact on the world that we all know and love.
WHAT IT IS
Plant-based Technology
78% Plant-based from castor seed oil that is sourced from farms that practice regenerative agriculture
Moisture Management
Pulls moisture, like sweat, away from the surface of the skin for unparalleled comfort and performance
Advanced Cooling
Transfers excess heat away from the body’s surface, prevents overheating and provides a cooling effect
Quick Drying
Accelerates the rate of drying to keep you looking and feeling your best
HOW IT WORKS
Castor Oil is unique among all fats and oils in that:
- It is the only source of an 18-carbon hydroxylated fatty acid with one double bond.
- Ricinoleic acid comprises approximately 90% of the fatty acid composition.
- Exceptional uniformity and consistency for a naturally occurring material.
- It is a nontoxic, biodegradable, renewable resource.
- Ricinoleic acid is exceptional from other fatty acids because of its unique structure.
- The chemical structure of ricinoleic acid shows three important functional classes, carboxylic (-COOH), alkene (-C=C-), and hydroxyl (-OH) groups. They provide optimal bonding and function, which is crucial for performance and durability.
Regenerative Castor
Our plant-based technology is derived from regenerative castor seed oil. The castor seed consists of 45-55% oil. This essential oil produced from the castor plant offers unequalled versatility and capability. The oil is highly productive and resource efficient.
The castor plant is resilient in fighting and enduring climate change. It is ideal for marginal lands in arid and semi-arid climates. The hearty root system prevents soil erosion that easily can occur. The castor plant is very water efficient, drought resistant, and tolerant of water salinity and soil acidity. The farms practice regenerative agriculture and are supported with education, training, and resources.
Utilizing renewable energy and state-of-the-art processing equipment that minimize waste and energy usage. At the initial lifecycle assessment of our castor-based technologies, we already were utilizing more than 50% of renewable energy in the processing and manufacturing facility. We take great pride in knowing that, today, we utilize 100% renewable energy, primarily through wind power.
We develop our technologies with the utmost care based around our knowledge and understanding that we need to account for what happens before, during, and after the use of our technology on textiles. Every component of a textile product plays a crucial role in deciding the life of that product which is a major part to sustainability. Our plant-based technology extends the usability of products by providing long-lasting functional performance.
