Skin-friendly labels are a hit for the Hohenstein Institute
21/02/2014
High-end women’s outerwear and knitwear brand Rabe Moden, for example, has opted to have large parts of its range checked by the experts at the Hohenstein Institute for skin-friendliness and wants to have the labels to show for it.
In recent comments, the managing director of Rabe Moden, Jo¨rg Weber, said: “The label has a great deal of credibility because it is issued by a recognised independent test institute. By using it, we are sending out a clear signal that sets us apart from our competitors.”
Skin-compatibility tests take what the Hohenstein Institute has called an effect-based approach. It checks whether any individual substances or combinations of substances that could be released from the textile material could cause negative skin reactions.
