What Actually Touches Your Skin
真正贴着你皮肤的，是什么
Not folklore. Not fear-mongering. Just the timeline, the real research, and where CanthWeave™ sits in it.
不是民间传说，也不是危言耸听。只是一条时间线、一些真实的研究，以及 CanthWeave™ 在其中的位置。
From wound dressing to lab testing
从伤口敷料到实验室检测
What sweat actually does to synthetic fibers
汗液对合成纤维的实际影响
In 2024, researchers at the University of Birmingham published peer-reviewed findings in Environment International showing that flame-retardant chemicals used in plastic additives can leach into sweat and be absorbed through skin — more so on hydrated, sweaty skin than dry skin.
2024年，伯明翰大学的研究人员在同行评审期刊 Environment International 上发表研究，显示塑料添加剂中使用的阻燃化学物质可渗入汗液并被皮肤吸收——出汗、湿润的皮肤比干燥皮肤吸收更多。
Absorbed through skin in 24 hours
24小时内被皮肤吸收
Using 3D human skin models, researchers measured how much flame-retardant chemical transferred from lab-created microplastic particles into skin over a 24-hour exposure window — with sweatier skin absorbing more.
研究人员使用 3D 人体皮肤模型，测量了在24小时暴露期间，实验室制造的微塑料颗粒中的阻燃化学物质有多少转移到皮肤——出汗越多，吸收越多。

It establishes the mechanism — that chemicals in plastic can transfer through sweaty skin — rather than proving a specific outcome from wearing any one garment. We think that mechanism is reason enough to choose fabric with nothing to leach in the first place.
这项研究使用的是实验室制造的微塑料颗粒，而非直接来自纺织纤维，测试的是阻燃化学物质，而非服装中的所有添加剂。它证实的是一种机制——塑料中的化学物质可透过出汗的皮肤转移——而非证明穿着某件衣物会产生特定后果。我们认为，这一机制已足以成为选择本身不含可渗出化学物质的面料的理由。
