A luxurious silk-like sheen meets effortless care.
At first glance, these qualities may seem at odds—but with SOIL / MATT SOIL, they coexist in perfect harmony.
The key lies in acetate, a fiber derived from wood pulp cellulose, which is transformed through a process involving acetic acid to create acetate cellulose. Naturally biodegradable and eco-friendly, this wood-based fiber gently returns to the earth—earning it the name “forest silk”.
We use Naia™ acetate, developed by Eastman in the U.S., which is sourced from responsibly managed and certified forests and plantations. Its production is designed to minimize environmental impact, making it a globally respected, sustainable choice.
1. Sustainable Material Sourcing
Naia™ is made from wood sourced from certified sustainable forests in North America, Western Europe, and Brazil, using pine and eucalyptus wood.
2. Eco-friendly Manufacturing Process
The wood is processed into pulp and treated at an environmentally responsible facility in the U.S. using reusable solvents and minimal water, with zero emissions.
3. Biodegradable Fiber
Naia™ fibers are certified as biodegradable and compostable.
Another key benefit of this material is its exceptional resistance to pilling. In pilling tests, it has achieved the highest rating, ensuring a smooth and refined appearance even after extended wear.
