The Latest from Acteev

See our latest partnership with Sammy Finch, an activewear line that blends trends with technology.

We are proud to partner with Sammy Finch, an HBO Max House of Ho star and fitness influencer, to launch Sammy Finch Activewear, the first activewear line powered by Acteev. The line’s first garments are available for purchase this month.

As seen on House of Ho Season Two, the new tech wear collection utilizes durable, breathable, Acteev nylon embedded with natural zinc technology to stop odor-causing bacteria. And unlike chemical applications that are coated or sprayed on, Acteev’s active ingredient is embedded into molecules of the fiber, ensuring the microbial fighting power remains as effective as day one.

Superior design and embedded zinc ion technology enhances your nonwoven and engineered fabric’s performance while providing you with the freedom and peace of mind that comes with all Acteev materials.

Protection Meant to Last

Unlike silver or copper antimicrobial technology, Acteev’s zinc ions are embedded into the product instead of coated on*. Not only is this production more sustainable and safe for consumers, but it’s built to last. Even after 50 washes, our zinc ion technology is still just as effective as the first day it’s used.

*Acteev’s antimicrobial technology is embedded to protect the product. The product does not protect users or others against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, germs or other organisms.
