Silk's luxurious feel is gentle on hair, soft on skin, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial. It naturally resists dust mites, mold, and fungus, and helps regulate body temperature due to its natural cooling effect. Additionally, silk reduces friction against facial skin by 43% compared to cotton, which helps minimize pulling, creasing, and formation of sleep wrinkles.* (Draelos, Dermatologic Therapy, 2008). Silk also absorbs 50% less moisture than cotton, so it helps preserve your skin's hydration and natural oils while also protecting your hair's natural oils.* ( Li et al., Textile Research Journal, 2011). Silk is also superior to cotton at diminishing acne breakouts* (Draelos, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2016), likely due in part to its anti-inflammatory effect.
