The research

The article from The Woolmark Company® highlights that recently published research has demonstrated that wearing superfine Merino wool significantly improves the severity and symptoms of eczema (to learn more, we invite you to read the original article at the following link Am I allergic to wool? | Woolmark).

According to these recent dermatological studies, infants, teenagers, and adults with eczema have reported a reduction in symptoms when wearing garments made from superfine Merino wool in direct contact with the skin.

Superfine Merino wool as an aid against eczema symptoms

The research has shown that wearing superfine Merino wool substantially improves the severity and symptoms of this chronic skin condition.

Eczema is an inflammatory condition that causes dry skin, leading to cracking, bacterial infections, redness, and itching. Eczema affects people of all ages and is on the rise in many countries.

Due to its natural characteristics, certain types of wool have beneficial effects on the skin and offer additional treatment for addressing eczema. Since the skin is the body’s largest organ, for some people, wearing clothing made from natural fabrics instead of petroleum-derived materials is essential.

In any climate, whether it’s warm, cold, humid, or dry, garments made from superfine Merino wool are among the most breathable of common fabrics.

Wool has the natural ability to absorb and release twice the body’s moisture compared to cotton and 30 times more than polyester. Worn directly against the skin, superfine Merino wool helps stabilize the microclimate of moisture and temperature between the fabric and the skin.

This is why superfine Merino wool can be an aid for patients with eczema: it acts as a second skin for those whose “first” skin layer is too dry.

A growing desire for natural approaches to dermatological issues

Among those who suffer from eczema or parents of children with eczema, there’s a growing desire for natural approaches to alleviate skin problems and aid in the treatment of the inflammatory situation. Clothing can also play its part.

The Merino wool fabric used in Daema collections, which obtained The Woolmark Company certification in 2022, is made from superfine Merino wool, with a fiber diameter of 17.5 microns (µm) or less. This characteristic makes it particularly delicate and suitable for direct contact with the skin.

In many situations, synthetic or irritating fabrics can worsen eczema symptoms, increasing discomfort and irritation. The superfine Merino wool used in Daema collections is an excellent choice for those suffering from this condition, as its natural and delicate fiber offers a sense of comfort and relief on the skin.

Merino wool possesses unique properties that make it ideal for individuals with sensitive or irritation-prone skin. It’s highly breathable and thermoregulating, meaning it helps keep the skin cool and dry, reducing the risk of excessive sweating that can exacerbate skin conditions. Additionally, Merino wool can absorb moisture, helping to keep the skin hydrated and preventing dryness and itching.

Choosing to wear clothing made from superfine Merino wool can contribute to enhancing the comfort and well-being of individuals with sensitive or eczema-affected skin.

Daema collections offer a range of stilish and functional garments made with this premium fiber, allowing people to enjoy fashion without compromising the health of their skin.
