The other is to add antimicrobial agents such as Nanosilver, Triclosan, which is non-toxic and non-irritating. Each way has the effect of inhibiting bacteria and odor. This depends on the skin and usage. If sensitive skin, natural one is the best. For mask and other medical consumables, silver yarn or agent is better. 
And how to achieve UV protection? Wingtex make it by different ways. Based on using polyester or nylon as raw material. The first way is, give the fabric tight knitting so as to avoid UV rays pass through. So you will not see holes among yarns. While the second way is, adding UV absorbing chemicals during fabric treatment to give the skin a layer of protection. The chemicals can effectively protect you from UVA or UVB.
