It’s Naturally Hypoallergenic and Good for Your Skin!

Silk is derived from the silkworm cocoons spun by silkworms. Silkworm cocoons are naturally designed to shield the worm from common predators and dangers, such as mites and fungus growth. Silk primarily consists of a protein called sericin, which organically repels lots of common allergens. Silk is also resistant to the growth of mildew, mold, and fungi, which are common irritants to us humans.

Other than being the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics, silk also won’t irritate sensitive skin. Silk is excellent at keeping your skin hydrated and plump. Silk fabrics have insulating properties, which keeps moisture close to the skin. This decreases your skin’s loss of moisture. Silk fibers are also very smooth in texture, so silk won’t rub on and irritate your skin.

It Keeps You Cool in the Summer and Warms You Up in the Winter!

Silk is an excellent heat regulator, helping to maintain the correct body temperature during sleep. It does not conduct heat or static electricity like other fabrics. Heat is retained during cold temperatures and redundant heat is shed during warm temperatures, keeping your skin cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

It’s Luxurious, Shiny and Soft!

Silk is simply beautiful to look at. There is no other fabric on this earth that can compare to silk’s luxurious appearance and feel.

The shine of a silk fabric also depends on the weaving or production method used on the silk. Silk is a wonderfully versatile material, which can be woven into many different weaves. Silk charmeuse is the glossiest of the weaves.
