What is the composition of silk?

Silk, a natural protein fiber, is composed primarily of fibroin. The fibroin protein has a unique composition of amino acids, including sericin, which possesses natural antibacterial properties. These characteristics are inherent to silk, and hence, silk pillowcases. This makes them highly resistant to bacteria, dust mites, and various allergens.

The Importance of Hydration

Bacteria need moisture to survive and multiply. However, silk has low moisture absorption rates compared to other fabrics like cotton. Silk pillowcases, such as VAZASILK pillowcase, can help maintain a dry surface, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and ensuring a healthier sleeping environment.

The Benefit of Hypoallergenic Properties

Due to their antibacterial nature, silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic. This implies a lesser likelihood of silk pillowcases triggering allergies or exacerbating sensitive skin conditions. Their inherent hypoallergenic properties make them an optimal choice for individuals with sensitivities such as eczema or acne, significantly diminishing the potential for skin flare-ups and irritations.
