Why choose mulberry silk?

The "Soft Gold" of History

Mulberry silk is considered a globally recognized lightweight, soft, and smooth environmentally friendly product. It is the only natural long fiber that exists in the world and has long been referred to as the "queen of fibers." Throughout history and across cultures, mulberry silk has been a symbol of status and prestige, often reserved as a special commodity for royalty and nobility. When silk was first introduced to the Western world, it earned the precious title of "soft gold."

What is mulberry silk?

Mulberry silk is a premium natural fiber created when mature silkworms spin their cocoons using solidified silk secretions. It is a continuous long fiber distinguished by its lightness, softness, and fineness. As a pure natural protein fiber, it is structurally the closest fiber to human skin, making it uniquely compatible with the human body.

Top 6 Health and Comfort Benefits of Mulberry Silk

1. Natural Thermoregulation: Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer

Under a microscope, approximately 38% of mulberry silk is hollow. This unique structure acts as a natural insulator:

• In Winter: The hollow fibers trap body heat, providing powerful insulation without the bulk.

• In Summer: The breathable nature allows excess heat to escape, keeping you cool and comfortable.

 2. The "Second Skin": Hypoallergenic and Antibacterial

Mulberry silk is often called the "second skin" for humans. It possesses excellent antibacterial properties, naturally inhibiting the growth of mites, mold, and bacteria. This makes it the ideal choice for individuals with:

• Sensitive skin

• Allergies

• Asthma or respiratory issues

3. Moisture Wicking for Dry Comfort

Mulberry silk contains "hydrophilic side-chain amino acids." These allow the fabric to absorb moisture from the air and body effectively. By keeping the skin dry and maintaining a balanced humidity level, silk helps prevent discomfort associated with rheumatism and keeps undergarments fresh.

 4. Beauty and Anti-Aging Properties

The "silk protein" fibers are rich in 18 essential amino acids. These amino acids help:

• Maintain skin moisture and hydration.

• Improve skin elasticity.

• Enhance metabolism and promote blood circulation.
  Many dermatologists recommend silk pillowcases to reduce sleep creases and prevent hair breakage.

5. Improved Sleep Quality

The sericin component in mulberry silk emits subtle molecules known as "sleep factors." These factors help stabilize the nervous system, contributing to a deeper, more restful sleep. Unlike heavy synthetic blankets, the lightweight nature of silk puts no burden on the cardiovascular system, allowing for complete relaxation.

 6. Premium Durability and Texture

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available. It features:

• Fine texture and bright natural luster.

• High tensile strength (hardness) and wear resistance.

• High elasticity and anti-static properties.
  These qualities make it a premium material for high-quality shapewear and luxury bedding that retains its shape over time.
