Silk has 18 different types of natural amino acids, one of which is known as sericin (or silk protein). Sericin forms in the cocoons made by the silkworm and are the binding agents of silk filaments. Both skin and hair have an amino acid called keratin. When sericin is applied topically through a cream or from using something like a silk pillowcase, it binds with the keratin found in our hair and skin. This binding of the two amino acids helps repair any damage done to hair or skin, provides protection against harmful ultraviolet rays, and helps prevent wrinkles on the skin. Unlike cotton fabric, silk does not absorb moisture while you sleep. This can keep your skin and hair hydrated. Since silk is all natural, it is gentle on the skin and is free of the harsh chemicals that can be found in many other fabrics.

A normal cotton pillowcase absorbs the beauty products you may put on your hair and skin. This means that whatever you may put on your hair will end up on your pillowcase and then transfer to your skin.Extra moisture, dirt, and allergens in your pillowcase can contribute to the appearance of acne. Silk is hypoallergenic and does not hold onto moisture or dirt which can reduce acne by keeping the skin cleaner while you sleep. Also, you may need to use less facial moisturizer since none of it will transfer onto your pillow. Saving your skin and your wallet.

Dermatologists encourage the use of silk pillowcases as they do not hold on to excess dirt and oils. With less dirt and oil being held onto by the fibers of the pillow case, your skin will be more hydrated and cleaner as a result.

Right now we offer our pillowcases in three sizes; standard, queen and king. Near the end of 2021, we will be bringing back our toddler/travel size.

The “momme” (mm) is a Japanese form of measurement used to describe the weight of silk fabric. 1 momme means that a piece of silk fabric sized 45 inches by 100 yards weighs 1 pound. The usual range for the momme count in silk ranges from 6 mm to 30 mm with 19 mm being the standard for silk bedding. The higher the number, the higher the density and quality of the silk fabric.

For bedding, 19 momme and above are considered high quality, as it is more durable than silk with a lower momme count. Generally, a higher momme weight makes the fabric more durable and luxurious, making it more suitable for heavy-duty use and lengthening the shelf-life of the product. Both the 19 and 25 momme products are made with the same great craftsmanship, the only differences between the two are the weight, destiny and shelf life of the silk fabric used. The 19 momme is great for trying out silk products for the first time as they offer the perfect blend of affordability and sophistication while also being durable for daily use. With proper care, products in this weight will last many years. 25 momme is great to give as a wedding present or to someone special in your life since they do have a higher durability and a longer shelf life than the 19 momme.

Satin pillowcases are often made out of a material called polyester, which is made from the chemical petroleum. Silk pillowcases are made from the natural silk fibers created by the silkworm. Satin is generally easier to care for than silk , but it does not provide you with as many benefits as silk does. Since silk is a smoother fabric than cotton, it can provide you with a cooler sleep and smoother hair. Silk can also do this, but silk is also packed with a protein called sericin, which is great for repairing your skin and hair.
