47th Element - Some of our garments have a combination of 100% pure Organic cotton and 47th Element Silver technology.  Today silver is recognised by NASA and hospitals for the ability to prevent infections and offer effective natural healing. For some time researchers have been aware that silver in colloidal form is effective in the battle against itchy eczema. With new nano technology it is now possible to add silver ions to cotton fibres to ease itches.

Cotton clothing is recommended by Dermatologists as being the best natural product, allowing eczematous skin to 'breathe', absorbing body moisture and wicking it away from the skin therefore helping to regulate body temperature. Everyone has, and needs, both good and bad bacteria on their skin, however, natural moisture can allow an overgrowth of bacteria and micro-organisms to develop and lead to allergic reactions and infections. It is well established that eczema is prone to secondary infection.

The natural silver ions in these garments remove bacteria overgrowth and prevent the spread of organisms and risk of secondary infection.

Currently the 47th Element silver technology is available in our Gray/Blue and Gray/Pink striped long johns, mittened/footed LJs and footed jumpers.
