Skin Health benefits of Ingeo PLA Fibers - Hygiene & Beyond

Sustainability benefits of Ingeo are well known and have been commercially leveraged in a range of applications. NatureWorks has shown that surface energy of Ingeo can be tuned to provide hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic properties. Hydrophilic fabrics have been designed to provide superior fluid management and enhanced durability over typical incumbents. Combination of hydrophilic performance and other unique features of Ingeo delivers skin health benefits desired in Absorbent Hygiene Products (AHP). Our latest findings show that finally it is possible to integrate sustainability into high performance disposable solutions.
