Naturally Dyed, Naturally Protected 🌈☀️
This summer, naturally dyed textiles offer more than just color—they can also provide some UV protection!
Natural dyes from plants like indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), talisay (Terminalia catappa), and turmeric (Curcuma longa) can absorb parts of UV radiation, especially when applied to natural fibers such as cotton, abaca, or silk.
However, prolonged sun exposure can cause these dyes to fade over time, making fabric care just as important.
When enjoying the sun, choose tightly woven, naturally dyed textiles for added protection—but don’t forget to care for them properly to preserve both their beauty and benefits!
