Fiber producer Rhodia, a member of the Solvay Group, and Premiere Fibers, have agreed jointly to launch Emana, a polyamide-based smart yarn that reduces the appearance of cellulite and makes skin look smoother and more youthful when regularly worn for six hours or more. Premiere Fibres is a global industry leader in the development and production of specialized performance fine denier yarns for branded apparel and technical fabric applications.
Thanks to the bio-active crystals embedded in the yarn, Emana promotes cosmetic and performance benefits.

It is a textile yarn that reduces the appearance of cellulite and makes skin look smoother and more youthful. This innovative yarn is already well-known for athletic and intimate apparel applications, where its advanced technology helps to improve comfort, fit and provides a more youthful appearance to skin surfaces.
