is linen natural or synthetic
What causes textile contact dermatitis? Textile fibre can be natural, synthetic or a combination of the two materials. Natural fibres include silk, wood, cotton and linen. Synthetic or man-made fibres include rayon, nylon, polyester, rubber, fibreglass and spandex. Although all fibres can cause irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, it is rare for them to cause allergic contact dermatitis.
