Aizome was made to ease the dry, scabby symptoms of your skin conditions in mind. Aizome solves the main issues that aggravates skin irritation that you may get from other bed sheets or clothing:
Issue 1: Chemicals used in the textile-making process or synthetic fibers in the fabric. Most companies (even organic textiles) use chemicals in the dyeing process to ensure the color doesn't wash out. Aizome's proprietary process to dye fabrics does NOT use any chemicals, making our fabric only 2 simple ingredients: organic cotton and natural dyes.

Issue 2: Pathogens growing on textiles such as bed mites, bacteria or fungi
Aizome uses all natural materials and no chemicals are used in the process - this means the natural bacteria / fungi repelling properties of the plants are in the fabric. Because of this, Aizome fabric limits bacteria / fungi growth on our products leading to less skin irritation.

Issue 3: Mechanical irritation such as friction because of rough materials
Aizome uses a sateen weave, giving the smoothest finish for the best comfort.
