Anti-Ageing Kimono in CUIONS™ GOLD
DESCRIPTION
Textile Cosmeceutical
The unisex Anti-Aging Kimono in CUIONS™ Gold features a nanoparticle integrated biofunctional textile¹ woven into a luxurious garment with minimal seams for ultimate skin comfort and breathability.
Nanoparticle textiles are evidence-based¹⁻⁵ for use as adjunct treatment for eczema to normalize the skin microbiome, for reducing flare-ups and improving sleep quality. Anti-oxidant CUIONS™ stimulate collagen production, targeting skin wrinkles, ageing processes and maintain healthy skin barrier function⁶.
This textile is laboratory certified to be bactericidal**, killing bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus⁷ upon contact with skin, maintaining a healthy skin microbiome. Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacterial commensal that triggers flare-ups in eczema.
It is currently used as adjunct treatment for body acne in our dermatology clinic.
MATERIAL
100% CUIONS™ Synthetic Silk with anti-aging Copper Nanoparticles
This garment is woven with minimal seams and without tags to minimise irritation to skin.
Comes with Certificate of Authenticity from Dr. TWL Biomaterials.
BENEFITS
[Anti-Aging] Reduction in skin wrinkles, anti-oxidant
Adjunct treatment of medical skin conditions*
[Eczema] [Body Acne] Target Skin Microbiome/Micro-climate
[Bactericidal] [Self-Cleaning]
Copper nanoparticle impregnation is also backed by clinical studies⁷⁻¹⁰ to have active skincare properties (anti-wrinkle, anti-ageing) due to stimulation of collagen growth through contact with copper ions actively released on contact with skin. Data from two randomised controlled trials demonstrate statistically significant reduction in facial wrinkles after 2 weeks of exposure to copper oxide infused textile⁹⁻¹⁰.
