Seaweed Forms the Basis for New Italian Activewear Line

Italian lingerie and daywear label Adea has launched a new collection made with a seaweed-based fiber that Adea says helps the wearer “regenerate the skin.”

SeaCell is a Lyocell fiber that incorporates seaweed for protective and anti-inflammatory properties. The Adea collection is made with SeaCell’s active fiber, which includes silver to give the fiber anti-bacterial properties, as well.
