Lenzing Group has introduced new Lenzing Lyocell Fine Skin and Lenzing Lyocell Micro Skin fibers under its specialty nonwoven ingredient brand Veocel. These fibers, introduced under the Veocel Beauty segment, present fineness, softness and translucency, which are ideal for beauty applications, above all for facial sheet masks. An all-new special manufacturing system was also launched to add greater supply chain transparency and will allow genuine premium Veocel Lyocell fibers to be identified in the final product.
The launch of the new generation of Lenzing Lyocell Skin fibers represent further growth of the Veocel Beauty brand, which supplies raw materials to products such as facial sheet masks and beauty wipes. Both Lenzing Lyocell Fine Skin and Lenzing Lyocell Micro Skin fibers are finer than other Lenzing branded skin fiber types, with Lenzing Lyocell Micro Skin fibers being the finest lyocell fibers in the nonwovens industry. Such feature gives consumers a more tender touch and luxurious feeling on skin.
The Skin fiber family features Lenzing’s patented Translucency technology, which allows the fibers to become translucent in wet state, rendering them suitable for a range of beauty products, especially delicate facial sheet masks. Facial sheet masks made using the technology will turn translucent when infused with serum, enabling consumers to pamper themselves with masks that meet their expectations for translucency, smoothness, fineness, and comfort. Currently, Lenzing is the only fiber producer that holds a patent for translucent facial sheet masks containing cellulosic fibers.
Being close to the face like a “second skin,” facial sheet masks made of Veocel Lyocell fibers offer a naturally smooth and comfortable facial treatment. With hydration being a key concern of facial masks users, Veocel Lyocell fibers regulate liquid absorption and release, ensuring that serum of the product is evenly distributed and keeping the product moist.
Veocel Lyocell fiber types are medically tested and certified with the FKT “Medically Tested – Tested for Toxins” logo. The fibers are also produced under an environmentally responsible production process to ensure they are clean and safe. They are certified according to the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, (Annex 6, product class I), demonstrating free from harmful ingredients and further assured the cleanliness of the fibers intended for beauty applications.
New Special Manufacturing System
The new special manufacturing system will enable Veocel Lyocell fibers to be identified in the final product, even after processing and conversion steps through the value chain. The system improves supply chain transparency without affecting fiber performance or characteristics and protects manufacturers from sourcing inferior counterfeit products. End consumers can also rest assured that the product they purchase consists of genuine premium Veocel Lyocell fibers.
“We have witnessed positive changes across the beauty industry ecosystem in recent years, as consumers become more eco-conscious. They want beauty products manufactured from trustworthy ingredients and sustainable sources, using eco-responsible processes which do not contribute to pollution. Our new fiber types and special manufacturing system under Veocel Beauty will help to further open up opportunities for brands to enhance supply chain transparency and allowing them to deliver sustainable promises to consumers,” said Jürgen Eizinger, vice president of global business management Nonwovens, Lenzing AG.
