Natural Origin Test
Scientific Proof : Natural Care Derived from Amino Acids
SECAO® is dedicated not only to environmental sustainability but also to the sensation on your skin. Validated by the authoritative **Pony Testing International Group**, SECAO® yarns are proven to retain natural amino acid components derived from cocoa shells. These "building blocks of life" are the secret behind SECAO® fabrics' cotton-like softness and skin-friendly moisturizing properties.
Test Highlights
We conducted rigorous amino acid content testing (Reference Method: GB 5009.124-2016) on different SECAO® yarn materials. The results are as follows:
SECAO® Nylon (Cocoa Polysaccharide Plant Collagen Nylon)
Outstanding Performance
A total of 11 types of natural amino acids were detected.
Total Content
994 mg/kg.
Key Components
Glycine (279 mg/kg) : Often found in collagen, giving the fiber a soft touch.
Glutamate (151 mg/kg) : Helps enhance moisturizing performance.
Alanine (98.7 mg/kg) : Improves the skin-friendliness of the fiber.
Other Nutrients : Includes Aspartic acid, Serine, Valine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, and Lysine.
SECAO® Rayon (Cocoa Polysaccharide Plant Collagen Rayon)
Test Results
Contains key moisturizing factors.
Key Components
Glycine (29.0 mg/kg) and Glutamate (22.0 mg/kg) were detected, with a total content of 51.0 mg/kg.

What Does This Mean for the User?
- Skin-Friendly: Rich in components like Glycine and Alanine, the yarn mimics the structure of natural skin collagen, significantly reducing the roughness often associated with synthetic fibers and making it suitable for sensitive skin.
- Moisturizing Touch: The presence of hydrophilic amino acids, such as Glutamate, ensures the fabric feels moist rather than dry against the skin, offering a warm, cotton-like texture.
- Transparency: Through scientific data, we prove that the essence of nature is successfully locked into every fiber during the transformation from "agricultural waste cocoa shells" to "functional yarn.
