Pull out a few threads from the side of the cloth and light them up. As they’re burning, watch closely to see if:The threads will crumple and smell like burning hair - this is a clear sign of authentic, natural silk. After they burn down, you should get a bunch of ashes, which are easily scattered,there is no smell of burnt plastic. If there is, then you’re dealing with synthetic silk. Also, if there’s black smoke coming from the fire and the threads are still smoldering after you put them out, then it’s artificial silk for sure.However, this is a skill you will never have to use when ordering from SILKSILKY since we offer our clients only 100% pure mulberry silk.

Silk is a fabulous option for those with allergies and sensitivities, as it’s one of the most hypoallergenic fabrics available. Stemming from its natural origins as a protective layer, silk repels dust mites and resists bacteria and mold. Silk fibers are also long and non-abrasive — meaning there’s no risk of skin irritation or dermatitis occuring when the fabric does brush up against you.
Because it helps your skin retain its natural moisturizing factors, silk is also thought to have anti-aging properties. The smooth texture of silk causes less friction on the skin’s surface and won’t leave any impressions behind, keeping premature aging and creasing at bay. The natural cellular albumen in silk fibers also helps speed up cell turnover, which reduces the signs of aging and gives your skin a plump appearance and youthful glow.
Beyond its skin-friendly qualities, silk is also an excellent choice when it comes to hair care and maintenance. In addition to ensuring your locks stay moisturized and nourished during the night, the smooth surface of a mulberry silk pillowcase helps prevent breakage and frizz, as your tresses encounter less resistance when you move during your sleep.
Mulberry silk scrunchies are another great option for optimal hair health, as they don’t tug on your hair and won’t leave ridges behind.
Silk products make excellent gifts for any occasion. They carry with them a message of love and well-wishes, and are suitable for any event or celebration.
