COLLAGEN SKINWEAR: A Transformation Story

Collagen is usually taken as a supplement or looked for in facial serums. GEPUR decided to go further. What if collagen could be worn? What if clothing became a daily beauty ritual, caring for your skin 24/7?

Ukrainian brand GEPUR has developed COLLAGEN SKINWEAR, a capsule collection — the first clothing line in Ukraine made from UMORFIL® N6U® bionic fiber with marine collagen peptides. The collection became available for purchase on March 10, 2026.

Ocean DNA: from fish scales to premium fabric

The story of this collection begins with an environmental manifesto. GEPUR believes that true beauty does not require sacrifice — it only requires love and intelligent technology.

The fabric is made using innovative UMORFIL® N6U® bionic fiber. Its origin is pure upcycling magic:

• From the depths to you: according to UMORFIL®, producing 1 kg of fiber uses 500 g of fish scales — a byproduct of the food industry that would otherwise end up in landfills and pollute the environment.
• Molecular transformation: thanks to patented supramolecular technology, marine collagen peptides (amino acids) are integrated directly into the fiber structure itself.
• This is not just a coating: because the collagen is built in at the molecular level, its properties do not wash out or disappear after laundering.

Why does your skin recognize this fabric?

The name UMORFIL® comes from the Latin Umor (moisture) and the French Fil (yarn). And that perfectly describes the feel of the collection.

Science-backed bionic properties:

• Continuous hydration: according to In Vitro laboratory tests, skin under UMORFIL® fabric retains a hydration level 15–20% higher than under standard nylon. This makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin.
• Natural cooling effect: academic studies have confirmed that UMORFIL® offers higher breathability and effective moisture wicking. This provides a light cooling sensation and comfort even in warm climates.
• UV protection: the fiber has a natural barrier against ultraviolet radiation.
• Durability: the fabric withstands 100+ washes without losing its softness or beneficial properties.

The concept: COLLAGEN IS A RITUAL

GEPUR created COLLAGEN SKINWEAR around three key states you will feel the moment you put on a bodysuit or long sleeve:

• Sensory experience: conscious luxury that does not need to be proven with logos. It is confidence that comes from within.
• Movement and body: adaptive stretch and a second-skin effect. The clothing does not press, slip, or constantly remind you of itself.
• Mental comfort: inner calm begins with a sense of physical safety. This is support through a gentle touch.

4 pieces — 4 meanings

COLLAGEN SKINWEAR by GEPUR consists of four styles — two bodysuits and two long sleeves — in two colors: Milk Skin and Black Silk. This is the first capsule collection made from UMORFIL® fabric in the Ukrainian fashion industry.

• CALM (Embodiment): a quiet harbor where softness reigns.
• MOVE (Freedom): a rhythm without limitations.
• FORM (Silhouette): confidence in every line.
• ICON (Art): the body as the ultimate statement.

Nature’s palette:

• MILK SKIN (Soft milky shade): purity. Calm. Light.
• BLACK SILK (Deep black): silence. Strength. Depth.

How does clothing enhance your skincare routine?

COLLAGEN SKINWEAR is the perfect first layer and a long-term investment in your comfort and skin health.

If you apply a moisturizing body lotion, let it absorb, and then put on a collagen bodysuit, the hydrating effect lasts longer because the fabric does not pull moisture from the skin (unlike regular synthetics or rough cotton), but helps retain it.

This is a functional solution for specific real-life situations:

• For travelers: airplane cabin air is dry, which stresses the skin. A collagen long sleeve helps maintain hydration during long flights so that after landing you look and feel fresh.
• For those with sensitive skin: if you often experience redness, itching, or tingling from regular clothing, this bionic fabric can be a relief. It is hypoallergenic and tested In Vitro for the absence of irritants.
• For city dwellers: thanks to natural thermoregulation and UV protection, this clothing is ideal for an active day. You do not overheat indoors and stay protected outside.

Care Guide: how to preserve the magic of collagen

Collagen is integrated into the fiber at the molecular level, so it does not wash out. However, to keep the fabric structure in perfect condition for years, follow these simple rules:

• Gentle washing: choose the “Delicate Wash” or “Hand Wash” cycle at a temperature no higher than 30°C.
• Mild detergents: use liquid gels for delicate fabrics. Avoid bleach — collagen loves gentleness.
• Natural drying: avoid tumble dryers. It is best to dry the garments flat on a horizontal surface. Collagen fibers naturally recover their shape, preserving the same silkiness you felt during the first fitting.

Why is this the ethical fashion of the future?

COLLAGEN SKINWEAR is GEPUR’s step toward fashion that thinks. By using secondary ocean resources, the brand creates an exclusive product that both beautifies and performs.

GEPUR took what was excess from the ocean to give your body the very best. Try molecular luxury to the touch.
