Mulberry silk vs. other fabrics

When you start your search for a good pillowcase or bonnet, the price difference will immediately strike you. This is because many pillowcases and bonnets are made of satin. Satin sounds very luxurious, but in most cases, satin is not a natural material. Satin pillowcases and bonnets are almost always made of polyester: a synthetic fiber that is woven plastic.

Polyester is not breathable, causing heat and moisture to be retained during sleep. This can lead to sweating, troubled skin, and hair becoming greasy or dry faster. In addition, polyester generates static electricity, which exacerbates frizzy hair, tangles, and hair breakage—precisely what you want to avoid! 

Because satin is made of polyester, it can be produced and offered cheaply. It looks smooth and feels soft, but lacks the nourishing properties. That is the difference between something that only looks good and something that truly cares for you, like mulberry silk. 

In this table, you can see how mulberry silk distinguishes itself from other commonly used fabrics such as regular silk, satin, and cotton. From softness to skin-friendliness, discover why mulberry silk is truly the best choice for your skin and hair.
