Forest on your skin no matter where you are For 40 years we have harnessed the beneficial properties of natural fibres to support our customers’ wellbeing. This year, we can offer even more: the world’s first tube scarf and undershirt that contain forest microbe extract devel oped by researchers.  Natural diversity has decreased significantly in developed countries over the last 70 years. One of the consequences of that, and of an urban lifestyle, is that we are exposed to a narrower range of natural microbes. Microbes support our bodies’ immune system. The more contact we have with nature’s diverse microbes, the lower our risk of de veloping autoimmune-mediated diseases, such as allergies, asthma, and type 1 diabetes.  Reconnecting Nature ™ extract is a new Finnish innovation developed based on the results from the ADELE research project carried out at Finnish and international univer sities, and it contains natural microbes found in forests. When in direct contact with the skin, the microbe extract created by the Finnish company Uute Scientific helps to support the body’s own microbiome. Read more about the extract, and the link between exposure to microbes and immune-mediated diseases here: www.uutescientific.com The clothes and accessories are made from undyed organic silk wool and can be used by almost everyone. The extract is added to silk wool knitwear as part of the production process: to achieve the best results, use the product as much as possible, primarily clean it by airing, and only wash it when necessary.

The first products will be available for sale later on this autumn.  Join the waiting list for the products on our online store at  www.ruskovilla.fi
