Few can dispute the tremendous values of linen, which is one of nature's greatest treasures. Linen is a longer-staple category, and as such the fibre is spun on a long-fibre spinning system. Due to the coarseness and stiffness of the fibre, linen fabrics are subjected to a strong bleaching action to reduce the stiffness of the fabric. Linen is also blended with other compatible natural and manmade fibres to achieve various structural and functional properties, and also to reduce costs. Fabrics produced from 100% linen and their blends with cotton and viscose have been studied for handle and comfort properties. Linen fabrics produce excellent aesthetic and drape properties. Linen fabrics are found to be tougher than cotton and other blends. However, linen offers the highest tensile resilience and the lowest friction coefficient under low stress-loading conditions. Linen fabric produces superior primary hand with respect to Fukurami and Shari. The total hand value (THV) of processed linen fabric is higher than that of cotton fabric as a summer wear. The blending of viscose and cotton improves the hand value of linen fabric.

The main aim of this article is to collect the scattered knowledge of Cosmetotextiles and present it to the world scientific community for scrutiny. Various aspects of Cosmetotextiles are compiled systematically and oriented towards product development. The technology of Cosmetotextiles is at the neonatal stage. The joint efforts of textile technologists, biochemists, cosmetic experts and medicos can achieve challenging targets in the field of Cosmetotextiles. Various derivatives of metals, plants and animals are used in pure and derivative form to generate cosmetic functionality in textiles. Various routes for the incorporation of cosmetic potentail in textiles are available, of which microencapsulation and the use of cyclodextrin as cage material are the most popular. The content of moisture on skin surface is a key parameter in maintaining skin elasticity and glowing potential. The characterization of Cosmetotextiles is a difficult task, but the Europeans have taken the lead by classifying and standardising the testing of the cosmetic effects of cosmetotextiles.
