At Auréa, we prioritize clothing that not only enhances your appearance but also uplifts your body’s frequency, supporting holistic well-being. The fabric choices we make affect not just our comfort but our energy, health, and the environment. In this guide, we’ll break down the key differences between natural, synthetic, vs semi-synthetic fabrics, including the various types of natural wool, so you can make conscious, high-frequency wardrobe decisions.
What Are Synthetic Fabrics?
Synthetic fibers are man-made from chemical polymers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic. While they offer affordability and durability, they come with significant downsides. Synthetic fibers resonate at 0 Hz, meaning they might disrupt your body's natural energy rather than support it. Furthermore, synthetic fabrics often conflict with electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which can impact the body’s natural energy flow, potentially leading to discomfort or fatigue.
Additionally, synthetic fibers contain toxins that may leach into the skin and cause irritation, allergy, asthma and sometimes are carcinogens. These fabrics also trap moisture and heat, leading to discomfort, especially in warmer climates.
Synthetic fabrics examples:
Nylon
Polyester
Acrylic
Spandex
Microfibers
Advantages of synthetic fabrics:
Durable and resistant to wrinkles
Affordable and widely available
Water-resistant and stain-resistant
Quick-drying
Disadvantages of synthetic fabrics:
Conflicts with EMFs, accumulate static electricity, which might increases exposure to EMF
Contains toxins, slowly causing serious diseases
Traps moisture and heat, causing discomfort
Non-biodegradable, contributing to environmental pollution
Low frequency (0 Hz), providing no energetic benefits, potentially disrupting your body's natural energy.
At Auréa, we recommend avoiding synthetic fabrics due to their impact on your body’s energy and the environment. Our focus is on natural, high-frequency materials that enhance well-being.
What Are Semi-Synthetic Fabrics?
Semi-synthetic fabrics, also known as regenerated fibers, are made by chemically processing natural raw materials, usually cellulose (plant-based). While these fibers can feel soft and breathable like natural fibers, they still involve chemical processing, making them less eco-friendly and toxic than purely natural fibers.
Examples of semi-synthetic fabrics:
Rayon (Bamboo)
Viscose
Modal
Lyocell (Tencel)
Acetate
Advantages of semi-synthetic fabrics:
Soft and comfortable, mimicking the feel of natural fibers
Breathable and moisture-absorbent, offering comfort similar to natural fibers
More sustainable than synthetic fibers, particularly Lyocell (Tencel), which is produced in a closed-loop system
Affordable, providing an alternative to expensive natural fibers
Disadvantages of semi-synthetic fabrics:
Chemical processing can reduce their environmental benefits and expose your body to toxins
Less durable than fully synthetic fibers
No frequency or very low than natural fibers, providing little or no energetic uplifting
Potential for skin irritation, depending on the chemicals used
Semi-synthetic fibers are a better alternative than fully synthetic fibers, but if you seek high-frequency, natural fabrics, natural fibers are still the superior choice for aligning your energy and supporting the environment.
What Are Natural Fabrics?
Natural fibers are sourced from plants and animals and resonate at higher frequencies, promoting health and alignment with the body’s energy. These fibers are free from harmful toxins and are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for sensitive skin. Natural fibers, especially wools and linens, allow the body to breathe and wick moisture away, keeping you comfortable in any climate.
Examples of natural fabrics:
Linen
Hemp
Wool
Cashmere
Angora
Alpaca Wool
Mohair
Camel Wool
Yak Wool
Lambswool
Cotton
Silk
Advantages of natural fabrics:
High-frequency resonance, promoting energy alignment and well-being
Breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping you comfortable in all climates
Hypoallergenic, gentle on sensitive skin
Eco-friendly and biodegradable, supporting the planet
Temperature-regulating, offering warmth in winter and coolness in summer
Antibacterial and antifungal properties: Many natural fabrics, such as wool and linen, have inherent antibacterial and antifungal qualities.
Disadvantages of natural fibers:
Higher cost due to sustainable production processes
Requires more care, such as gentle washing or air-drying
Susceptible to moth damage if not properly stored
Why High-Frequency Clothing Matters
At Auréa, we focus on high-frequency fabrics like linen and wool because we believe that what you wear affects not only how you look but also how you feel. Scientific studies suggest that natural fibers resonate at higher frequencies, promoting balance and harmony in your energy field. For example, linen has been measured to resonate at 5,000 Hz, one of the highest frequencies of any natural material, which can help elevate your overall vibration, thus health. Similarly, wool resonates at 5,000 Hz, supporting warmth, comfort, and a positive energetic flow.
Which Fiber Should You Choose?
Choosing between natural, synthetic, and semi-synthetic fibers is about more than just comfort or price, it’s about how the fabric aligns with your health, energy, and the environment. While synthetic fibers offer convenience and affordability, they come with significant downsides, such as interfering with your body’s natural energy, trapping heat, and contributing to environmental damage. Semi-synthetic fibers offer a middle ground, still containing many toxins, therefore natural fibers remain the best choice for those seeking to elevate their frequency, comfort, and eco-consciousness.
