Tencel is the trade name for an all-natural, man-made fabric called lyocell, and is made from cellulose nanofibrils harvested from wood pulp. The fibers used in Tencel are 100% biodegradable. The properties of this fabric include excellent moisture management and limited bacterial growth. This fabric is also lightweight, durable, and resistant to shrinkage.

Tencel is a biodegradable fabric made from wood pulp cellulose. It feels like rayon and is like a stretchy knit. Earlier forms had a blousy silky feel or a moleskin finish. Tencel blinded with other fabrics produces a variety of finishes. The most common is the peach skin type of feel to the cloth.
