Our Story

About Valinor

You read ingredient labels.
You switched your skincare.
Have you looked at what you work out in?

Every workout, synthetic activewear releases up to 0 microplastic particles against the skin you have worked so hard to protect.

You have probably looked for something better. The natural options don't perform. The synthetic options aren't clean. That tension is the reason we exist.

De Falco et al., Environmental Science & Technology, 2020

What we built

Skin care starts
with what you wear.

So we started with the most regenerative crop on earth, hemp, and engineered a yarn from scratch. Not the scratchy, shapeless hemp your mind pictures. A yarn built to outperform nylon and polyester in stretch recovery, cooling, and breathability. It feels clean against your skin.

No endocrine disruptors. No reproductive toxins. No chemical moisture-wicking finishes. Engineered to perform. Clean by design.

We call it activewear skinwear

The proof

Engineered to outperform.

Valinor fabric vs. standard nylon and polyester. Tap any measure for detail.

Breathability ▾
Valinor
Synthetic

Valinor: Natural micro-channels in every fiber allow continuous airflow against skin.

Synthetic: Smooth, sealed surface traps heat in a synthetic layer.

Cooling ▾
Valinor
Synthetic

Valinor: Absorbs up to 50% of its weight in moisture, then releases through evaporation.

Synthetic: Cannot absorb. Moves sweat across the surface, which is why it clings.

Thermal regulation ▾
Valinor
Synthetic

Valinor: Cellulosic fibers adapt. Cool when you're hot, insulate when you're not.

Synthetic: Static thermal profile. Traps body heat during exertion.

Microplastic shedding ▾
Valinor
0
Synthetic
100k

Valinor: Zero. Cellulosic fibers do not shed synthetic microparticles.

Synthetic: 100,000+ particles per session.

Skin contact safety ▾
Valinor
Synthetic

Valinor: No PFAS. No formaldehyde. No endocrine disruptors. OEKO-TEX certified.

Synthetic: Chemical moisture-wicking finishes. Azo dyes. PFAS coatings common.

Where it comes from

Renewal is not a one-time act.

The creation of clothing, intertwined with the rebirth of land. A cycle that sustains and expands itself by design.

Deforested rainforest

We reclaim land destroyed by lumber and palm oil corporations. Where others see waste, we see the starting point.

Hemp planted

120-day crop cycle. No pesticides needed. Carbon-negative. Hemp's deep root system begins breaking up compacted soil immediately.

Soil restored

Specific fungi work alongside hemp roots to rebuild underground nutrient networks. Organic matter returns to the soil. Life comes back.

Fiber harvested

The hemp bast becomes Valinor fabric. The harvest fuels the garments. Nothing is wasted.

Land reforested

After harvest, we reforest. Native species. Not a monoculture tree farm. Actual forest with biodiversity and complexity.

Cycle continues

Carbon credits from reforestation fund the acquisition of new degraded land. The system sustains and expands itself.

We are not a business.
We have a business.

Built by a team of scientists, designers, and operators who believe that what touches your skin should be as clean as what you put on it. Every garment is a promise. Every fiber is accounted for.

The missing step in your skincare routine.
