Kniteco Oy researches, develops, manufactures and sells products based on the healing properties of plants.  We improve the well-being of people, plants and animals by utilizing a plant known for thousands of years as natural medicine - antibacterial nettle.

Our story began with the idea of nettle-based textiles and more precisely: the idea of a base layer that would be specially suitable for atopic skin. Based on this, Kniteco lLd was founded in 2021. Things have evolved since that – now we are even more focused on nettle – and all parts and uses of it, not only in textiles. 

Nokkoste brings nettles onto the skin

Our brand and trademark are “Nokkoste” is all about nettle. We think this versatile, humble weed deserves all the attention it can get.  As part of our journey, we focused more on all the qualities and substances contained in nettle. This led us to new textile– and skin–care related product ideas, the focus of which are substances obtained from nettle.
