The Ethical Silk
Sleeping on a mulberry silk pillowcase provides the best natural care for your skin and hair.
Silk contains natural protein and 18 essential amino acids. It also contains natural cellular albumen which speeds up the metabolism of skin cells therefore reducing the onset of wrinkles.
As it does not conduct static electricity, sleeping on a mulberry silk pillowcase helps reduce hair breakage so your hair keeps its blow dry for longer.
Unlike cotton, a mulberry silk pillowcase does not draw moisture away from your skin and hair, but encourages a proper moisture balance, while it's extremely smooth and soft texture proves to be beneficial for those with sensitive skin conditions (e.g. Eczema). It also does not absorb a nightly moisturiser or cream, allowing them to do their job on your skin, as they are meant to.
Designed in Ireland, we use mulberry silk (momme weight 19) with a satin weave for all our products. Made in India, it is extracted from the cocoon after the silk moth has left the cocoon. Because of the particular way it is produced, is more like a fine linen with a beautiful matte lustre rather than the shiny finish of traditional silk.
Silk is the strongest of natural fibres.
As it is a breathable fabric and a natural temperature regulator, silk helps the body retain heat in cold weather while excess heat is expelled in warm weather, helping your body maintain a comfortable, natural temperature. This proves to be especially beneficial for those who's temperature fluctuates at night with night sweats.
Silk is hypoallergenic; it does not attract dust mites and is a natural fungal repellant.
We keep our mulberry silk pillowcases and the reverse of our eye masks (the side that is next to your eyes) its natural, undyed ivory color so it is kinder to your skin and hair.
