Silk & Health
As you probably know, silk is a natural product. The advantage of natural products is that there are still healthy amino acids and proteins in the material. Mulberry silk is one of the healthiest types of silk. This type of silk contains over 18 different amino acids and protein fibers, which together have a healthy effect on both your hair and your skin.
Amino acids have become known as the "building blocks" of the body. They build cells and repair tissues, they make antibodies to fight bad bacteria and viruses; they transport oxygen throughout the body and help with muscle activity, and they help rebuild RNA and DNA (nucleoproteins).
The silk amino acids have many benefits, including helping to prevent dehydration of the skin. The amino acids have a low molecular weight, which means that they can be easily absorbed through the skin. As with hair, the silk protein binds to keratin found in the skin, helping to prevent moisture loss.
Silk is the ideal textile for pillow covers, as it is soft, comfortable and good for the skin. Silk is ultra luxurious and has temperature regulating properties. The silk guarantees that you will stay warm in the winter and will have a comfortable temperature in the hot summer heat. Silk is characterized by being anti-allergenic, so it is an obvious choice if you are allergic or have asthma. In addition, the soft surface of the silk will not scratch or disturb, which makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin, psoriasis or atopic eczema.
