Where Luxury Skincare Meets Everyday Comfort
The Challenge
“Can underwear actually improve skin health, not just cover it?”
A premium intimate apparel manufacturer approached us with an ambitious vision: create seamless underwear that delivers genuine skincare benefits during wear. Their target customers—health-conscious women aged 25-45—demanded more than basic comfort. They wanted garments that actively nourished skin, reduced irritation, and justified a premium price point through measurable wellness benefits.

Our Innovation Journey
1
Understanding Intimate Skin Challenges
Intimate areas face unique stressors: friction from movement, moisture buildup, restricted airflow, and prolonged fabric contact (12-16 hours daily). Traditional underwear materials can cause chafing, bacterial growth, and pH imbalance. Women increasingly seek garments that support rather than compromise intimate skin health.
2
The Pearl Powder Breakthrough
Pearl powder has been used in Asian skincare for centuries due to its rich amino acid profile, trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc), and conchiolin protein. These compounds promote collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and maintain skin pH balance. The challenge? Integrating these benefits into textile fibers that survive Santoni seamless knitting processes and repeated washing.
3
Engineering Skin Care Pearl Yarn
We developed a proprietary encapsulation technology that embeds nano-sized pearl powder particles directly into polyamide fibers. The pearl particles are released gradually through friction and body heat, creating a continuous skincare effect. The yarn maintains softness (comparable to 40-denier silk) while delivering 18+ amino acids and minerals to skin during wear.
4
Optimizing for Santoni Seamless Production
Seamless circular knitting demands precise yarn tension and elasticity. We engineered Pearl Yarn with balanced S-twist and Z-twist variants to ensure optimal fabric structure and dimensional stability. The yarn’s 150D/48F specification provides ideal stretch recovery for body-hugging fit while maintaining pearl particle integrity through high-speed knitting cycles.
