What is it Emana® and how it works?
Emana ® is a yarn built with bioactive mineral crystals that absorb the heat from the human body to return it in the form of Far Infrared Rays Emitted (also known as F.I.R.E.). These rays penetrate the skin and interact with the body stimulating blood microcirculation and thermoregulation of the skin providing important benefits. The result is a unique formula that improves skin elasticity, reduces skin flaw caused by cellulite, appearance of smoother and younger skin granting comfort and well-being without any side effects to biological tissues. The interaction of Myshapes Emana® products and the skin is entirely physical and doesn’t provide chemical interaction at all.
What are “far infrared rays emitted” (F.I.R.E)?
FIRE are electromagnetic waves invisible to the naked eye, they are essential for our well-being and health, in fact the development and reproduction of all forms of life on Earth depends on FIRE. The FIRE stimulate the water molecules which represent 70% of the human body’s make-up that’s why, they are used in Health and Wellness therapies.

Q-NOVA® is an environmentally-sustainable nylon 6.6 fibre obtained exclusively from regenerated raw materials and which meets given traceability requirements. A highly ecological product which aims to reduce CO2 emissions, consume less water and use renewable energy.
The process is a mechanical regeneration system which does not involve using chemical materials which would detract from the sustainability of the end product.
The discarded materials are recast using a mechanical regeneration process after which they return in the form of a polymer which is then integrated into further processing stages
