Polartec®, a Milliken & Company brand, has switched to peppermint for metal-free odour resistance treatment across its line of performance fabrics. The bluesign®-certified peppermint oil odour resist treatment is an easily renewable, highly sustainable and biodegradable solution for inhibiting odour at the source. The odourless peppermint oil-based treatment was proven in R&D trials to achieve a 99% microbial reduction, even after 50 wash cycles, making the treatment effectively permanent.
