PFAS: These Eternal Pollutants Hidden in Our Textiles
PFAS ( per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ) are synthetic chemical compounds used to make certain textiles water-repellent, stain-resistant, or moisture-resistant . They are often found in technical clothing, food packaging, and fire-fighting foams. Their main problem? They are extremely persistent and accumulate in the environment and in our bodies.
A growing body of research shows that prolonged exposure to PFAS may have negative health effects, including disrupting hormones and increasing certain disease risks. This is why it's crucial to choose PFAS-free materials.

At UJO , we've chosen to design colorful sportswear that respects both your body and the environment. Our leggings and bodysuits are made with high-quality technical materials from recycled fibers, without the addition of toxic chemicals. Unlike other brands that treat their textiles with perfluorinated substances to improve their performance, our fabrics are left raw , thus guaranteeing a safe composition.
