Sheep wool sleeves offer numerous benefits for individuals with aging skin or sensitive skin. The natural properties of sheep wool make it an ideal material for providing moisture absorbency and skin protection. In addition, sheep wool sleeves can also help keep muscles warm, alleviate aches and pains, and provide antimicrobial properties and cushioning.
Moisture Absorbency
Sheep wool is known for its excellent moisture absorbency. The fibers of sheep wool have a unique structure that allows them to absorb moisture from the skin, keeping it dry and comfortable. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with aging skin or sensitive skin, as it helps prevent the buildup of moisture that can lead to skin irritation or discomfort.
Skin Protection
Sheep wool sleeves provide a protective barrier for the skin. The natural lanolin found in sheep wool acts as a moisturizer and emollient, helping to keep the skin hydrated and nourished. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with aging skin, as it helps to maintain the skin's elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Keeps Muscles Warm
Sheep wool has excellent thermal properties, making it an effective insulator. When worn as a sleeve, sheep wool can help keep the muscles warm, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing muscle aches and pains. The warmth provided by the sheep wool sleeve can help soothe and relax the muscles, providing relief from discomfort.
Alleviates Aches and Pains
The cushioning effect of sheep wool sleeves can help alleviate aches and pains. The soft and plush texture of sheep wool provides gentle support for the affected area, reducing pressure and distributing weight evenly. This can help relieve pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis or joint inflammation.
Antimicrobial Properties
Sheep wool has natural antimicrobial properties, which means it can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungus. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, as it helps prevent the development of skin infections or irritations. The antimicrobial properties of sheep wool sleeves contribute to their overall hygiene and cleanliness.
Overall, sheep wool sleeves offer a range of benefits for individuals seeking moisture absorbency, skin protection, muscle warmth, pain relief, and antimicrobial properties. Whether you are looking to address aging skin concerns, or sensitive skin issues, or simply want to experience the comfort and benefits of sheep wool, investing in a sheep wool sleeve can be a wise choice.
What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?
Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached.
Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use a sheep wool fabric to manufacture most of our products.
What is sheep wool fabric?
The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared off the sheep), a nylon grid and a medical grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, the acrylic is used to stabilize the wool in place and create a flat surface by which the fabric can be cut. This results in a material that has the look of a sheepskin, without the hide of the animal. As a result, the wool is machine washable.
General care:
Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new as there will be some loose fibres. You can machine air fluff (no heat) for five minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.
Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.
With care, your wool products will last many, many years.
Washing instructions:
Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will disperse into the air quickly.
Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air. This moisture redistribution results in a refreshening. If there is some staining or seepage from wounds, you can spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and a disinfecting soap. Do not bleach.
