For decades, the textile industry has chased color standardization at the expense of raw material longevity. Industrial chemistry, based on acid baths at temperatures close to boiling, has imposed an invisible compromise: to obtain a flat and perfectly repeatable color, noble protein fibers are subjected to thermal stress that inevitably degrades their keratin. The rediscovery…
