Scientifically backed: The benefits of mulberry silk for skin and hair
Smooth surface minimizes friction: Mulberry silk has an exceptionally smooth fiber structure that reduces friction between hair and pillowcase by up to 43%. This has been demonstrated in dermatological studies and leads to significantly less hair breakage while you sleep.
Natural proteins protect the hair structure: Silk contains 18 essential amino acids that are structurally similar to human hair. These natural proteins can help smooth the hair surface and seal the cuticle layer, resulting in fewer flyaways and reduced frizz.
Helps retain moisture: Unlike cotton, silk does not strip moisture from the hair. Dermatologists confirm that this is especially beneficial for dry or chemically treated hair, supporting overall hair health.

Naturally hypoallergenic: Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and other common allergens. Dermatologists often recommend silk pillowcases for people with sensitive skin, acne, or eczema.
Fewer sleep lines: The smooth silk surface creates less pulling and pressure on the skin during sleep. Clinical observations show that regular users of silk pillowcases tend to have fewer pronounced sleep lines, which can help slow down the appearance of premature wrinkles.
Temperature-regulating: Silk has natural thermoregulating properties that help prevent overheating of the skin. This reduces night sweats and related irritation, which is especially beneficial for acne-prone or reactive skin.

Minimal moisture absorption: While cotton can absorb up to 25% of its weight in moisture, silk absorbs only about 11%. This means your nighttime skincare — creams and serums — stays on your skin instead of being pulled into your pillowcase.
Helps maintain the skin barrier: Dermatologists emphasize that preserving the skin’s natural moisture is essential for a healthy skin barrier. Silk pillowcases support this by drawing less moisture away from the skin than traditional fabrics.
Especially beneficial for mature skin: As we age, the skin produces fewer natural oils. The moisture-retaining properties of silk are therefore particularly relevant for women over 40, helping to reduce the appearance of dryness-related fine lines.

4 reasons why you will love your silk cover

Less washing
Silk absorbs very little oil or styling products and reduces friction – so hair stays fresh, smooth, and clean for longer. That means less frequent washing, less effort, more time for yourself.

Improved skin appearance
Silk reduces friction and prevents moisture loss – so the skin is less irritated overnight, does not dry out and looks smoother, fresher and more rested in the morning.


Cooler nights
Mulberry silk has a temperature-regulating and breathable effect. It feels pleasantly cool on the skin and ensures restful nights – especially in warm summer months.

Less hair breakage
Silk glides smoothly over the hair without pulling or tangling. This reduces breakage – especially for fine, dry, or color-treated hair.

Silky Night Q&A
Does a silk pillow really help against wrinkles?
Yes, it does – at least to a certain extent. Silk is particularly gentle on the skin because it causes very little friction. This means that while you sleep, your skin is compressed less, reducing wrinkles and marks in the morning. Furthermore, skin moisture is retained better because, unlike cotton, silk doesn't simply absorb skincare products. This means your skin can regenerate overnight without becoming further dehydrated. Existing wrinkles won't disappear, of course, but new ones can form more slowly.
Does a silk cover really make a difference to your hair?
Absolutely. Thanks to the smooth texture of silk, hair glides gently over the pillow – without pulling, rubbing, or tangling. This noticeably reduces breakage, split ends, and frizz. Many women report that their hair looks significantly neater in the morning – even without styling. This is especially helpful for fine, color-treated, curly, or dry hair. Hairstyles also stay in place longer. Important: Silk doesn't heal hair, but it helps to minimize damage – every night.
What is the difference between satin and real silk?
There's often confusion here: Satin isn't a fiber, but a weave – many "satin" covers are made of polyester. While they are smooth, they aren't breathable and can trap heat. Real silk, on the other hand, is a high-quality natural material: temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic, and extremely kind to the skin. It's more luxurious, durable, and healthier for both skin and hair. Satin is a budget-friendly alternative – but those who want the full benefits should opt for 100% silk.
Does this actually make a difference, or is it just a trend?
This question comes up often – and it's a valid one. Silk pillowcases aren't a miracle cure, but the positive effects are real: less friction, better moisture retention, and gentle sleeping comfort. Many dermatologists recommend silk for sensitive or mature skin. Users report less hair breakage, smoother skin, and reduced dryness after a short time. The effect doesn't happen overnight – but in the long run, a silk pillowcase visibly contributes to well-being and a well-groomed appearance.
