What if your bedding touches more than just your skin?
Scientists recently described the interstitium a fluid-filled network woven through your connective tissue that helps regulate immunity, fluid balance, and healing.
It sits directly beneath the skin, which means whatever touches your skin… touches this system, too.

We make bedding without synthetic dyes, chemical finishes, or petrochemical residues.
Just organic cotton and medicinal plants a calm, clean surface for the body systems that work hardest while you sleep.

Your skin knows the difference.
Your nervous system feels the difference.
Your sleep shows the difference.

✨ Sleep on what supports you inside and out.
✨ Sleep on AIZOME.

Why Your Bedding Should Support Skin Health
Sleep: A Crucial Factor in Skin Healing

11/13/2025

Most people think sleeping naked is simply about comfort. But textile science tells a different story.

Your skin spends a third of your life in contact with fabric — and the type of textile you sleep on can either help it heal or quietly harm it.

Our latest article explores how temperature regulation, skin barrier recovery, and your microbiome are all influenced by what you wear — or don’t wear — to bed.

✨ Discover why it’s not about being naked or not — it’s about what touches your skin while you sleep.

Your clothes might look simple , but what’s hiding in them often isn’t.
Research shows that allergic skin reactions from textiles are rarely about the fibre type (cotton vs polyester). They’re mostly caused by chemical finishes, resins, dyes and additives.

At AIZOME we sidestep all that:
🔹 100% GOTS unbleached organic cotton
🔹 Dyed with medicinal plants
🔹 No wrinkle-resistant resins, no PFAS coatings, no hidden finishes

Because your skin deserves fabric that cares, not chemicals you don’t know about.

Where water renews, so do we.

What if your clothes could support your skin health? 🧵✨

We talk a lot about the gut microbiome, but your skin has one too, and it’s constantly communicating with what you wear.

Fabrics, dyes, and finishes all shape that delicate ecosystem.
While synthetic dyes and chemical treatments can disrupt it, plant-based dyes like indigo, madder, sumac, or turmeric may actually help restore balance, thanks to their natural antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

It’s a fascinating intersection of textile science, skin biology, and slow fashion where color becomes care.

Microplastics aren’t just in oceans; they’re in our closets.
Every time we wash or wear synthetic clothing, we release microscopic plastic fibers into the air and water and studies now show they can make their way into our bodies.

That’s why AIZOME fabrics are made with 100% natural fibers and dyes; no synthetics, no plastic, no toxins.
Because wellness shouldn’t stop at skincare, it should start with what touches your skin. 🌿

From the source, where water meets plants, healing begins.
The same natural force that nourishes the earth dyes every AIZOME sheet.

No synthetics. No petrochemicals. Just plant dyes, organic cotton, and peace of mind. 🌿

Here’s a little chaos from behind the scenes 💙

10/24/2025

Here’s a secret most people don’t know 👀
Clothing labels weren’t originally made to inform you, they were created for tax purposes.
Not to tell you what’s safe for your skin, or what chemicals touch your body.

That’s why most labels still say “100% cotton” even if the fabric is coated in synthetics, dyes, and finishes that never have to be listed.

Transparency shouldn’t be optional; it should be printed right next to the care instructions.

👕 What’s really in your kid’s clothes?
Studies keep finding PFAS in kids’ clothing (including school uniforms), formaldehyde in baby/toddler clothes, and disperse dyes causing rashes on synthetics. Antimicrobial QAC coatings are also used on fabrics.

✨ The safer option?
Choose undyed or plant-dyed natural fibers like organic cotton.
No synthetics. No “miracle” finishes. Just clean, breathable comfort.

Bedding for better sleep & healthy skin

We are nine devoted bed buffs. Through our work in Japan and elsewhere in healthcare, dermatology and textiles we were inspired by the ancient Japanese craft of aizome (藍染) - making textiles with natural indigo, the same as samurai wore under their armor to protect their skin from infections and help heal wounds.

Why not make the most important textile (we spend 1/3 of our life in it) the best textile we own? Organic, certified safety for your whole family, hypoallergenic, anti-bedmite and premium soft with an decadent 450 thread count sateen weave.

And as it turns out, if you take care of yourself, you also protect the environment - zero non-biodegradable waste produced with up 200 times less water that conventional chemical dyes. These bed sheets are as pure as before the industrial revolution.
