coperni releases C+, a series of regenerative clothing infused with probiotics and prebiotics
Coperni’s regenerative clothes C+ has probiotics
Skincare within regenerative clothing defines Coperni’s C+, a series of everyday wear infused with probiotics and prebiotics. Capable of restoring the skin’s microbiome, each garment contains living microorganisms that interact with the skin during wear, support the skin’s natural balance and help it repair itself over time.
The C+ line includes a bodysuit, a top, and leggings, all of which are made using a biobased fabric that holds a special treatment called HeiQ Skin Care. This treatment was developed together with HeiQ, a textile technology company, by adding a mix of probiotics and prebiotics to the material. Probiotics are live microorganisms embedded into the regenerative C+ by Coperni, and prebiotics are nutrients that help those microorganisms grow.

Fabric that ‘releases’ microbiome for skin hydration
Inside each thread of the textile is a bio-based matrix, which acts as a storage layer for the probiotic and prebiotic ingredients. This layer protects the microorganisms until the clothing is worn. When the fabric touches the skin, body heat, friction, and movement start a slow process of release. The microorganisms transfer from the textile surface to the skin’s surface through this contact. This process supports the skin’s microbiome, the layer of natural bacteria that protects the skin from irritation and damage. The clothing also supports the wearer’s hydration and skin protection. When the microbiome is balanced, the skin keeps its natural moisture and stays protected from dryness.
The contact between the C+ garments and the skin then activates this microbiome care system throughout the wear. The release process is gradual and invisible, and it starts as soon as the fabric touches the body. The brand says that each C+ piece is made from a light biobased textile to fit closely to the skin to make sure the contact is constant. The textile of the regenerative C+ by Coperni is also stretchable to allow for full movement without interrupting the infused probiotics and prebiotics. So far, the active ingredients remain effective for at least 40 washing cycles, and after that, the effect of the microorganisms is less than when the wearer first bought the outfits.
