The PureOnSkin Fabric Guide
The PureOnSkin Fabric Guide
Choosing the right material is the first step toward skin health. At PureOnSkin, we exclusively use Natural Fibers that work with your body, not against it. Use this guide to find the perfect match for your skin’s needs.
☁️ Pure Cotton (The Everyday Essential)
Cotton is the world’s most popular natural fiber for a reason. It is durable, easy to care for, and incredibly soft.
-
Best For: All-day wear, kids' clothing, and classic bedding.
-
The Benefit: High breathability. It allows air to circulate around the skin, which prevents the heat buildup that often triggers eczema or prickly heat.
-
PureOnSkin Tip: Look for our Cotton Sateen options if you want a smoother, silkier feel with the durability of cotton.
🍃 Pure Linen (The Mediterranean Cooler)
Made from the flax plant, Linen is one of the oldest and strongest fibers in the world.
-
Best For: Hot climates (like Spain), summer jeans, and luxury bedding.
-
The Benefit: Linen is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic. It can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp, making it the ultimate "dry-touch" fabric for sensitive skin.
-
PureOnSkin Tip: Linen gets softer and more beautiful with every single wash.
✨ Mulberry Silk (The Friction-Free Luxury)
Silk is the "queen" of fabrics for those with highly reactive skin or severe dermatitis.
-
Best For: Pillowcases, sleepwear, and intimate apparel.
-
The Benefit: Because silk fibers are long and incredibly smooth, they create zero friction. This prevents "micro-tears" in the skin and helps maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels overnight.
-
PureOnSkin Tip: Silk is temperature-regulating—it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
🎋 Bamboo (The Eco-Soother)
Bamboo fabric is famous for its "cloud-like" softness and sustainable footprint.
-
Best For: Baby clothes, towels, and activewear.
-
The Benefit: Bamboo contains a natural agent called "bamboo kun" which makes it naturally resistant to bacteria and odors. It is even softer than cotton and feels cooling to the touch.
-
PureOnSkin Tip: Excellent for those who experience night sweats or have highly "reactive" skin.

Our "No-Synthetics" Promise
We avoid Polyester, Nylon, and Acrylic. These synthetic materials are essentially plastic; they trap sweat, harbor bacteria, and are often treated with harsh chemicals that cause Contact Dermatitis. With PureOnSkin, you only get what nature intended.
