Felt sauna cap - why shouldn't we use it?
On the market, unfortunately, we can very often find products made from synthetic felt. Some types of felt are considered eco-friendly, just because some companies make felt from recycled products, for example, from polyester fibres From recycled PET bottles. In other words, we are still dealing with polyester - or plastic.
If these products come into contact with our skin, they can allergize it. In addition, sauna caps made of felt, through the high temperature can produce a rather unpleasant odor.
Why should we avoid polyester?
This material electrifies, does not breathe, and is not breathable. It is unpleasant to the touch and often looks simply unsightly.
In addition, an important issue is the production of synthetic fabrics themselves. This is because it requires the consumption of a huge amount of harmful chemicals, including heavy metals. Unfortunately, this material can affect our health in a very negative way - they can cause allergies, cancer, or fertility problems. This list could go on forever!
