What is 100% natural mulberry silk?
Mulberry silk is a silk obtained from silkworms ( Bombyx mori ), raised on a diet almost exclusively of mulberry leaves. This "selective" diet helps make the thread more uniform, fine, and lustrous than other silks.
When we talk about 100% natural , we mean a protein-based fiber (fibroin), breathable and delicate, appreciated for centuries for its ability to "feel good" for both skin and hair.
Where does mulberry silk come from?
Silk historically originated in China, where sericulture has ancient roots. Today, the production and processing of mulberry silk is widespread throughout Asia (with excellence in several areas), and then reaches Europe via textile supply chains that transform the thread into fabrics and finished products such as pillowcases, sleep masks, hair accessories, and linens.
Curiosities about mulberry silk
- It is an "intelligent" fiber : it tends to feel cool when it is hot and more comfortable when it is cold, thanks to the structure of the fiber and its ability to manage moisture.
- It has a natural sheen : it is not an artificial effect, but comes from how the fibre reflects light.
- It is much loved in beauty rituals : especially in bed linen (such as pillowcases) because it is extremely smooth and "gentle" on skin and hair.
Wellness benefits: why choose a mulberry silk pillowcase?
A pillowcase may seem like a small detail, but it's one of the items that touches your skin for hours every night. That's why the mulberry silk pillowcase has become a must-have in your daily wellness rituals.
1) More gentle on skin and beard
The smooth surface of silk reduces friction: a feature appreciated by those looking for more comfortable contact, especially if you have sensitive skin or if you get irritated easily (even after shaving).
2) Beauty support for hair and styling
Silk is known for helping hair stay neater when you wake up, with less frizz and fewer tangles than coarser fabrics. This is a real advantage for men too: with medium or long hair, curly or wavy, or for those who use styling products and want a more manageable look.
3) Thermal comfort and breathability
Many choose silk because it provides a "clean" feeling of comfort: it doesn't overheat and promotes better moisture management, useful for those who tend to sweat during the night.
4) More pleasant sleep experience
Well-being isn't just a result, it's also an experience. Silk has a premium feel that makes the bed more welcoming: a small daily upgrade that often makes a difference in the perceived quality of sleep.
Wellness benefits for men: it's not just a "beauty" product
Silk pillowcases are often thought of as feminine, but they're actually perfect for men too, especially if:
- you have a beard (less friction = more comfort and less "rubbing" sensation at night)
- you play sports and are looking for a cooler, drier feeling on the pillow
- You have a busy lifestyle and want to improve your evening routine with a simple but effective gesture.
- You care about grooming (hair, skin, beard): silk integrates perfectly into a modern, essential and functional male routine
