Super Moisture Boost – Love the skin you’re in

Most of us have already heard of body positivity, the movement that advocates the acceptance of all bodies no matter the form, size, or appearance. This challenges the ways in which society presents and views the physical body. For Devan, feeling comfortable in your skin also suggests taking care of your skin.


R-Vital® ‘Super Moisture Boost’ is a carefully composed organic blend of avocado (a popular ingredient in keto-diets) and amaranth seed oil (containing squalene) that helps to soften and hydrate the skin. The natural oils deeply penetrate into the skin, and contain fatty acids known to delay the appearance of premature aging and to moisturize and tighten the skin.

Cold Proof

Every year, millions of people are affected by ‘a cold’ with an average of 2-3 colds per year. Most people get colds in winter and spring, but it is possible to get a cold any time of the year. Furthermore, during cold weather people suffer more from skin dryness and skin irritation due to the drop in temperature and humidity.

R-Vital® ‘Cold Proof’ is a unique solution, releasing organic ingredients such as camphor and echinacea to protect people from the ailments of colder times.

Heimtextil, the world’s largest international trade fair for home and contract textiles, takes place this Jan. 7-10 at the Messe Frankfurt, where Devan will occupy Booth B28 in Hall 11.0. Some of Devan’s innovations will already be presented in the Heimtextil collections of customers such as Standard Fiber and Trident.

Reducing development times for technical textiles by accelerated thermo-oxidative aging in a high-pressure autoclave

Synthetic polymers used in technical textiles can be effectively protected against degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and water through the use of stabilizer systems. This enables service lives of several decades, extending to more than 50 years. As the use of durable technical textiles continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable methods to predict their service life within economically feasible testing periods. For the first time the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) developed methods for robust service life prediction for textiles in an IGF research project.
