Not all silk is created equal. Mulberry silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, creating the finest, most consistent silk fibers available. Think of it as the difference between premium and regular fabric.

The science gets interesting when you look at what mulberry silk is made of. This silk contains natural proteins, with fibroin making up 75-80% of the protein content, giving silk its strength and smooth appearance. These aren't just fancy ingredients actively interact with your skin and hair.

Here’s How Mulberry Silk Benefits Your Skin, especially during sleep

1. Reduced Friction, Fewer Wrinkles:

Silk fabric creates 43% less friction than cotton, which releases pressure from your skin and allows you to wake up with a healthier, more radiant glow. What does this mean practically? Less irritation for sensitive skin, fewer sleep lines that deepen into wrinkles over time, and reduced pressure on existing blemishes or dry patches.

2. Moisture Retention

Dubai's air conditioning is notorious for drying out skin. Cotton pillowcases make this worse by absorbing moisture from your face all night, including your expensive serums and moisturizers.

Silk works differently. Amino acids in mulberry silk help retain moisture, hydrating and conditioning the skin. Your nighttime skincare products stay on your face where they belong, not soaking into your pillowcase.

3. Hypoallergenic and Cleaner

For anyone dealing with skin sensitivity or breakouts, this is important. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to mold, fungus, and mildew. Studies show that sleeping on pure silk can actively reduce acne breakouts since the natural fibers don't clog pores and stay cleaner than cotton for longer.

Here’s How Mulberry Silk Benefits Your Hair (for real, not just marketing)


1. Less Breakage and Split Ends

Research shows that the smooth surface of silk reduces hair friction by up to 43%. This isn't a small difference, it's the difference between waking up with manageable hair versus spending 20 minutes trying to tame your locks.

2. Preserves Hair Moisture

Silk helps your hair retain its natural moisture and oils, essential for strong, shiny, and hydrated strands. This is especially valuable for:

• • Color-treated hair 
  • Curly or textured hair that needs extra moisture
  •  Anyone dealing with Dubai's drying indoor environments
  • Hair weakened by heat styling

3. Better for All Hair Types

Silk's low friction helps curls maintain their pattern and prevents knots in long or thick hair types. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly, or coily, the benefits apply.

Here’s how you Make Silk Work for your hair and skin in Real Life

Understanding the science is one thing, getting results is another. Here's how to maximize the benefits of silk: 


For Skin Care:

• Apply your nighttime routine as usual (the silk won't absorb it)
• If you have acne, wash your silk pillowcase weekly
• Those with very sensitive skin benefit most from silk

For Hair Care:

• Go to bed with slightly damp hair to preserve your style
• Use silk scrunchies during the day for consistent benefits

The science behind mulberry silk benefits isn't marketing hype, it's backed by research on protein structure, friction reduction, and moisture retention.

Your skin spends 6-8 hours every night in contact with your silk pillowcase. Your hair endures friction with every movement. Making those hours work for you instead of against you? That's just smart self-care.
