Silk & Health

As you probably know, silk is a natural product. The advantage of natural products is that there are still healthy amino acids and proteins in the material. Mulberry silk is one of the healthiest types of silk. This type of silk contains over 18 different amino acids and protein fibres, which together have a beneficial effect on both your hair and your skin.

Amino acids have become known as the "building blocks" of the body. They build cells and repair tissue, they form antibodies to fight harmful bacteria and viruses; they carry oxygen throughout the body and help with muscle activity, and they help rebuild RNA and DNA (nucleoproteins).

The silk amino acids have many benefits, including helping to prevent dehydration of the skin. The amino acids have a low molecular weight, which allows them to be easily absorbed through the skin. As with hair, the silk protein binds to keratin found in the skin, which helps prevent moisture loss.

Silk is the ideal fabric for pillowcases, as it is soft, comfortable, and good for the skin. Silk is ultra-luxurious and has temperature-regulating properties. The silk ensures that you stay warm in winter and have a comfortable temperature in the hot summer heat. Silk is characterised by being anti-allergy-inducing, making it a natural choice if you have allergies or asthma. Furthermore, the soft surface of silk will not scratch or irritate, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin, psoriasis, or atopic eczema.
