What is mulberry silk? Originating in China over 5,000 years ago, “sericulture” is the ancient process of spinning silk into the beautiful textile that we all know and love. 

Smoother and stronger than any other silk in the world, mulberry silk is a textile powerhouse. Famous for its durability and lightweight quality, mulberry silk is able to retain up to a third of its weight in moisture. Because of this, it doesn’t emit a smell when damp and doesn’t need to be left out to dry for a long amount of time, making it relatively easy to manage.

Skin Benefits
Packing a lot of punch, the strands of fiber that the mulberry silk is made of contains 18 amino acids and proteins. Our skin thrives off of these nutrients, and this is one of the reasons why a lot of companies have turned to mulberry silk to produce pillowcases and sleep masks.

Hair Benefits

Environmental Benefits
Mulberry silk is made from the cocoon of the Bombyx mori moth. Before metamorphosis, the caterpillar feeds exclusively on the white mulberry leaf—this is one of the reasons why this silk is known for its second-to-none quality. The silk fabric is then spun from long fibers, which are strong, pure white, and collected from the moth’s cocoon.  Made 100% naturally without molecular agents. 

Because of its organic quality, mulberry silk is free from harsh and toxic additives, which can sometimes cause breakouts, allergies, or even atopic dermatitis.
