Augmented Feminine Hygiene Nonwovens

ViroBiome™ Inside

Feminine hygiene is evolving.

The next generation of protection products can no longer focus solely on absorption.
They must also help preserve exposed biological interfaces, support intimate comfort and reduce repeated environmental stress.

ViroBiome™ develops a platform of bioactives and multilayer architectures dedicated to technical nonwoven materials for feminine hygiene.

A New Approach to Intimate Protection

Intimate skin and mucosal areas are exposed daily to:

• prolonged humidity
• repeated friction
• microbiome imbalance
• environmental pollution
• oxidative stress
• prolonged occlusion

Nonwoven materials therefore become active biological interfaces.

ViroBiome™ proposes a new generation of protection systems integrating:

• controlled release
• compartmentalized functional layers
• localized biological protection
• skin and mucosal comfort support
• microbiome-friendly approaches
• non-systemic surface-active materials

Targeted Nonwoven Applications

Menstrual hygiene

• sanitary pads
• pantyliners
• technical menstrual underwear
• multilayer absorbent inserts

Periodic tampons

Light and daily incontinence

• feminine urinary protection
• discreet long-wear protection
• technical underpads

Daily intimate hygiene

• intimate wipes
• soft contact veils
• skin comfort layers
• active breathable interfaces

ViroBiome™ Technology Platform

ViroBiome™ Safety

Localized biological modulation technology designed for exposed interfaces.

Potential applications:

• surface barrier layer
• functional protective veil
• controlled localized release
• protection of areas exposed to repeated friction

Potential claims:

• Functional Biological Barrier
• Designed for exposed intimate interfaces
• Non-systemic local protection
• Surface-active hygiene technology
• Helps reduce exposure to external biological stressors

ViroBiome™ Shield

Combination of biological protection and barrier-support functions through rapeseed ceramides.

Potential applications:

• long-wear comfort layers
• biomimetic contact veils
• repeated-friction zones
• extended-wear protection systems

Potential claims:

• Helps support skin barrier function
• Comfort-oriented intimate hygiene technology
• Microbiome-friendly protective layer
• Helps preserve skin comfort during repeated use
• Bio-inspired barrier support

Multi-Compartment Layered Architecture

ViroBiome™ technology can be integrated into multilayer nonwoven structures enabling:

• stable separation of functions
• differentiated release triggered by humidity
• internal migration control
• compatibility with industrial nonwoven processes
• integration into plastic-free or bio-based structures

Example of architecture:

• structural absorbent layer
• biomimetic comfort layer
• ViroBiome™ active layer
• controlled diffusion layer

Scientific Validation

The platform is supported by several experimental studies including:

• reduction of IL-6 response against environmental particles on skin explants
• anti-inflammatory activity on lipoxygenase
• antioxidant activity of rapeseed extract
• skin and mucosal tolerance studies
