Leggings made from natural fibers can be great for your skin. Unlike synthetic fabrics that can trap heat, moisture, and bacteria, materials like cotton, bamboo, or hemp let your skin breathe. This helps to prevent irritation, rashes, and breakouts, keeping your skin fresh and comfortable throughout the day. Additionally, natural fibers are softer and gentler on the skin, reducing friction and helping to maintain its natural balance making them ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Natural fiber leggings can be beneficial for your hormonal health. Synthetic fabrics may contain harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates, which can be absorbed through your skin and interfere with your endocrine system, potentially affecting mood, energy, and even your menstrual cycle. In contrast, natural fibers are free from these hormone-disrupting chemicals, helping you feel more balanced and comfortable, knowing your clothing supports your body’s natural rhythm.

It’s important to understand that these leggings may not last as long as synthetic ones, but that’s actually a positive thing.

Synthetic fabrics are made with "forever chemicals," which give them long-lasting durability but can be harmful to your skin and health.

You can expect your Natural Active leggings to stay in good shape for about a year before they start to feel worn, while synthetic leggings might take around two years to reach the same point.

In short, they naturally degrade about twice as fast as synthetic leggings.

Bio-based elastane is a stretchy material derived from non-GMO corn, designed to replicate the properties of petroleum-based elastane.

We use it in our leggings to provide stretch, while reducing the harmful effects on both your health and the environment.
