FKT label: Award for body-compatible textiles
Double tested safety
You will find the FKT label „MEDICALLY TESTED – TESTED FOR TOXINS“ on textiles that have passed FKT’s strict body compatibility tests. These textiles do not release any substances that could irritate or damage the skin. The FKT label provides more safety for your skin.
Conventional tests for harmful substances test textiles for certain well-known substances but don’t examine the effects that these chemicals may have on the skin while wearing the textile products.
FKT’s body compatibility tests close this gap. They have been developed by strict scientific standards and many of the leading brand manufacturers use them to assure their quality.
Therefore, when you buy textiles, ask for the FKT label.
