The science of silk

Beauty sleep,
explained.

Real silk is not satin. Real silk is not polyester. Here's what makes 22 momme, 6A grade mulberry silk different — and why you only need to feel it once to know.

01

For your skin

Cotton creates friction with your skin every night, contributing to sleep lines and dehydration. Silk slips against the face with almost no friction, helping smooth fine lines and preserving the moisture your skincare just delivered.

02

For your hair

No more midnight tangles or frizz. 22 momme mulberry silk reduces friction by up to 43% compared to cotton, protecting curls, coils, blow-outs and braids while you sleep.

03

For your sleep

Silk is naturally temperature regulating — cool in summer, warm in winter. Your body never has to work to keep itself comfortable, and you sleep deeper for it.

How to spot real silk

Four things every silk brand
should be able to tell you.

  • Momme

    22 momme

    A silk weight measurement. 22 momme is the luxury sweet spot — heavy enough to drape, light enough to breathe.

  • Grade

    6A Mulberry

    6A is the highest grade of mulberry silk fibre. Longer strands, lustier finish, naturally stronger.

  • Weave

    Charmeuse

    Charmeuse is a tight, satin-finish weave — the smoothest of all silk weaves.

  • Certified

    OEKO-TEX®

    Tested for harmful substances and certified safe for skin contact. Non-negotiable.

The benefits, in plain language

What changes after a week

  • Quieter mornings for your skin

    Silk slips against the face with almost no friction, helping smooth fine lines and preserving moisture overnight.

  • Hair that wakes up styled

    No more midnight tangles. 22 momme mulberry silk protects curls, blow-outs and braids while you sleep.

  • Naturally temperature regulating

    Cool in summer, warm in winter — silk responds to your body, so you never wake up too hot or too cold.

  • Hypoallergenic by nature

    Naturally resistant to dust mites, mould and most allergens — gentler on sensitive skin and easier to live with.
