Emirates introduces moisturizing sleepwear

UAE: Emirates has launched “the world’s first moisturizing sleepwear for the skies,” offered to first-class passengers flying overnight. Made by British technical textile firm Hydra Active, the micro-encapsulation fabrics promise to keep passengers’ skin well hydrated during flights. Emirates officials said that the garments work by gradually releasing “nutrient-rich” sea kelp and other algae extracts onto the surface of the fabric when the wearer moves, and is claimed to help improve circulation and prevent dehydration. The micro-capsule technology allows the moisturising elements to be locked into the fabrics, so they can be washed and worn again up to 30 times.
