Scientists at the Hohenstein Institute have developed a textile finishing which, they claim, provides a “sensory cooling effect” when they touch the skin surface by stimulating the body's cold receptors. The treatment can be particularly useful for sports injuries or insect bites, which are generally treated with ice, sprays and other means. The finishing has been texted on natural, synthetic and blended fabrics.
