About Skéépe's Texel caring wool
Skéépe's sheep's wool provides natural protection for various skin discomforts such as blisters and pressure complaints. The caring effect of the wool can be used for a variety of skin discomforts caused, for example, by abrasion, friction or pressure. The thick wool fibre of Texels makes Skéépe wool ideal for absorbing pressure and protecting the skin.
A special type of Skéépe wool for every purpose:
Because wool can be processed in different ways, giving it different structures and properties, it can also be used for different types of complaints. This is why we have four different bags of caring wool, all of which can be used naturally for different types of complaints:
Foot wool / Pedicure wool
Oily, coarse wool for localised foot discomforts
Skéépe's foot wool is ideally used as pedicure wool. The wool is somewhat coarser and curly in structure, giving good protection for small, sensitive areas on the foot or near the toenails. In addition, the foot wool is nice and greasy due to a high lanolin content, which in turn is pleasant for calluses or hardened skin. The lanolin softens these calluses and the wool offers protection for sensitive spots or after a pedicure treatment. Various foot discomforts can be relieved with this foot wool. These include sensitive nail edges, calluses and cold feet. So if you are looking for a firm foot wool with a lot of lanolin, which can alleviate local foot complaints, then Skéépe foot wool is a good choice!
Hikers Wool
Ideal combination of coarse and fine wool for when active and hiking
Skéépe's hiking wool consists of a combination of two different types of wool structures, which is ideal for use when walking or other activities. By mixing a slightly coarser, fatty wool with a slightly finer airy wool, this wool offers good protection in case of blisters and, at the same time, will not flatten or shift easily while hiking. The coarser, oily wool cares for the skin, catches pressure and protects in case of blisters. The finer wool provides good ventilation and at the same time keeps the slightly coarser wool together nicely, keeping it snug while walking. This combination creates an ideal wool structure that can even be used during longer walks.
Prevent blisters and calluses by simply placing a tuft of wool between your skin and sock or shoe. The wool absorbs pressure but does not seal the skin like a blister plaster can. So are you looking for a wool that is especially suitable for walking and hiking and also comes from Texel? Then the hiking wool from Skéépe is an ideal choice!
Nursing wool / Healing wool
Extra fine and hygienic wool for sensitive (baby) skin
Heilwol is aimed at protecting the most delicate and vulnerable skin. This wool has a very fine structure and is washed at 60 degrees. This makes it extremely suitable for the most sensitive skin. Sacred wool is wool from the first shearing of sheep that are then about 1 year old. As a result, it is actually still just lamb's wool, which is extra soft and fine. Because the wool is washed at 60 degrees, all bacteria are removed but as much lanolin as possible is retained. This makes the wool extremely suitable for babies or during maternity. By using a soft and fine tuft of holy wool for nappy rash, for example, the skin does not stick together and can continue to breathe. Even people with sensitive skin can safely use the healing wool.
Anti-pressure wool
Airy wool for pressure complaints caused by prolonged sitting or lying down
Skéépe's anti-pressure wool is the perfect pressure reliever for prolonged sitting or lying down. Think, for example, of people confined to a wheelchair or bed. Due to the special processing of the wool, it has an airy wool structure and a high, cushioning effect. The unique thing about wool is that it does not seal off the skin, as other products can do. The skin can continue to breathe and moisture is removed naturally. The Texel wool also has an extra-thick wool fibre, which is therefore ideally suited to absorb pressure. This makes it ideal for use with pressure spots that occur when sitting or lying still for long periods of time. Placing a tuft of wool on the pressure point relieves the area. In addition, the wool has a warming effect that helps relieve cold symptoms. So if you are forced to sit still for long periods and this causes pressure complaints, this anti-pressure wool offers good relief
Do not use in case of: Open wounds, damaged skin or lanolin allergy. For specific conditions or chronic complaints, we recommend consulting a doctor first. Wool soothes and cares, but is not a medicine. Skéépe makes no medical claims; we offer natural wool products for comfort and care.
