> Merino is made from Carnitine. We aren't scientific to know exactly what that is, but basically it's the same substance as skin and hair, so merino garments shouldn't itch

Some garbling gone on here. Which, if the source is Icebreaker, wouldn't surprise me.

Wool, hair, skin, horn and nail are made from the protein keratin.

Carnitine is something completely different...

Icebreaker use "keratin" on their website. No mention of Carnitine.

Sounds to me like it must have been dictated orally, and whoever wrote the words either misheard or didn't understand what they were hearing, and just guessed at the spelling. Happens all the time!
