For 1000s of years copper has been renowned for its unique healing and restorative characteristics. The ancient Egyptians used it to sterilise drinking water and wounds, the Romans used it to treat disease and in Persia and India copper was applied to treat boils, eye infections and venereal ulcers. With further scientific advancement copper is well known today for being able to kill or inhibit the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi or viruses. Copper door knobs are used in hospitals to reduce the transfer of disease and Legionnaires’ disease is suppressed by copper tubing in air conditioning systems. However, as many viruses and infections are airborne and becoming increasingly resistant to modern methods of dealing with them, a non invasive and more effective solution was needed. Copalife fabrics are treated with an allantoin matrix that provides active ionic copper and silver that help to improve the appearance of the skin's texture and tone. These ingredients are activated by skin chemistry and penetrate the skin to relieve irritation, inflammation, and to initiate skin restoration without modifying skin physiological processes. Safe and effective, Copalife fabrics have been tested to kill 99.9% of destructive and odor causing bacteria and fungi on the fabric, turning your clothing or bedding into a clean and fresh feeling sanctuary. Moisture in the environment, the same moisture required for microbes and fungi to grow, initiates the release of the silver, copper and zinc ions from the fabric. These ions bind to the microbes and fungi responsible for attacking the fabric and inactivate them. Copper is also a well known antioxidant with the ability to stimulate collagen formation, which is important when it comes to repairing as well as preventing skin damage. Copalife’s cotton, polyester, nylon, acrylic, bamboo and polypropylene fabrics are bonded with copper, silver and treated with an allantoin (which is used in cosmetic manufacturing to moisturise, reduce inflammation and irritation) so when your skin comes into contact with these active ingredients they penetrate the skin, providing nourishment and rejuvenation which: - Reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles, fine lines and age spots - Visibly restores the skin’s healthy, glowing appearance, natural support and elasticity - Significantly improves the skin’s tone and texture - Softens and soothes the skin - Improves skin clarity -
