- Customization: Yarn count and color available on request
Squalane Moisturizing Yarn for Next-to-Skin Textiles
VI-TEX squalane moisturizing yarn is a 50/50 cotton-viscose skin-care yarn developed for close-to-skin textile applications. The standard specification is 32/1 compact spun yarn. However, other counts and colors can be discussed according to the fabric structure and production requirements.
The cotton-viscose blend is designed to provide a soft and comfortable hand. Meanwhile, compact spinning gives the yarn a cleaner and more controlled structure for downstream knitting. Squalane is incorporated as part of the yarn’s functional skin-care concept.
Because dyeing, finishing, fabric construction and washing conditions can affect the final result, performance should be evaluated in the finished fabric. Therefore, we recommend completing a knitting and wash trial before confirming a bulk order or making a specific consumer-facing claim.

Why Use a Cotton-Viscose Compact-Spun Structure?
Cotton provides a familiar natural-fiber handle, while viscose contributes softness and drape. As a result, the 50/50 blend is suitable for textile projects where comfort and a smooth fabric surface are important.
In addition, compact spinning helps create a cleaner yarn structure with better fiber control. This can support more stable processing and a neater fabric appearance. However, fabric strength, pilling, shrinkage and surface condition still depend on the knitting construction, yarn tension, dyeing process and finishing method.
For this reason, yarn specifications should be selected according to the finished product rather than the ingredient name alone. A sock project, for instance, may require different strength and recovery targets from an underwear or lightweight jersey project.
Typical Applications
This squalane moisturizing yarn can be considered for:
- Socks and hosiery
- Underwear and base layers
- Loungewear and homewear
- Lightweight knitted tops
- Other next-to-skin knitted fabrics
- Skin-care and wellness textile development
These are suggested development directions, not automatic performance guarantees. Before bulk production, the yarn should be tested in the intended fabric construction and finishing route.
Sampling and Custom Development
The minimum sampling quantity starts from 1 kg per color. Therefore, buyers can carry out an initial knitting trial before committing to a larger production order.
When requesting a sample, please provide the intended product, machine gauge, fabric construction, required color and target hand feel. If you have an existing swatch or technical sheet, it will also help us recommend a more suitable specification.
Once the sample is knitted, we suggest checking:
- Machine running stability and yarn breakage
- Fabric hand before and after finishing
- Surface fuzz and pilling tendency
- Shade consistency and color fastness
- Shrinkage and dimensional stability
- Hand-feel retention after washing
- Any functional performance required for the target market
In particular, claims related to moisturizing performance, skin comfort or wash durability should be based on the relevant yarn or finished-fabric test. This keeps the product description consistent with the evidence available for the final textile.
Ordering and Lead Time
For available stock specifications, dispatch can normally be arranged within 1–2 days after confirmation. Custom production generally takes 3–15 days. However, the actual schedule depends on the yarn count, color, quantity and current production plan.
Standard packing is a 25 kg carton or plastic bag. If the project requires different cone weights, labels or export packing, please include those requirements in the inquiry so they can be checked before quotation.
Choosing the Right Skin-Care Yarn
Squalane yarn is one option within the wider skin-care yarn category. However, it may not be the correct route for every fabric. The decision should also consider softness after finishing, wash retention, machine performance, required documentation and the conditions under which the finished product will be used.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is squalane moisturizing yarn?
It is a functional yarn developed around a squalane skin-care concept. This VI-TEX specification combines 50% cotton and 50% viscose in a 32/1 compact-spun construction.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The sampling MOQ starts from 1 kg per color. However, the minimum quantity for custom production may vary according to the yarn count, color and specification.
Can the yarn count and color be customized?
Yes. The standard count is 32/1, while other counts can be reviewed according to the intended application. Custom colors are also available after the color standard and order details have been confirmed.
What products can be made with this yarn?
Typical development directions include socks, underwear, base layers, loungewear and lightweight knitted fabrics. Nevertheless, buyers should confirm suitability through an actual knitting trial.
Does the moisturizing effect remain after washing?
Wash retention should not be assumed from the yarn name alone. Dyeing, finishing, detergent, temperature and washing frequency can all affect the finished fabric. Therefore, the required performance should be verified through a test method agreed for the target market.
Is it suitable for sensitive-skin products?
Suitability for sensitive-skin products cannot be determined only from the presence of squalane. The complete fabric composition, dyeing chemicals, finishing process and applicable safety requirements should also be reviewed before making this claim.
Where can I buy 50/50 cotton-viscose skin-care yarn?
You can request this 50/50 cotton-viscose skin-care yarn directly from VI-TEX. Please include the intended application, required count, color, trial quantity and delivery country so that the team can confirm availability and prepare an accurate quotation.
