Slipsilk™ anti ageing, anti sleep crease, anti bed head pure silk pillowcase!

We spend a third of our lives in bed. By the time we are 60, we will have slept for an average of 20 years.

Slipsilk™ uses the highest grade (6A) long fibre mulberry silk, with a thickness of 22 momme and enforce the strictest quality guidelines, including non-toxic dyes.

Cotton grabs your hair and twists it at the root throughout the night, damaging hair and causing bed-head in the morning, whereasslipsilk™ is so gentle on your hair, it allows your hairstyle/blow-dry to last overnight.

Unlike cotton, which draws moisture from your face, hair & scalp,slipsilk™ breathes and is a natural temperature regulator.

Slipsilk™is a natural fibre, whereas synthetic satin is rougher, thinner and ‘sweats’, essentially negating the benefits.

Benefits ...

1. Anti-Aging

We spend a third of our lives in bed. In laboratory testing, slipsilk™ pillowcases were shown to absorb significantly less face cream than cotton pillowcases*, so they can help keep your skin’s moisture and valuable face and hair products where they belong, on your face and hair. Slipsilk™ was also shown to create 43% less friction on average*, which can reduce stretching and tugging on delicate facial skin

2. Anti Sleep Crease

Ever woken up with a sleep crease? As skin ages, it loses elasticity and sleep creases - which are caused by friction and pressure on facial skin - can become more pronounced and longer-lasting. While the creases usually go away later that day, they can be gradually ‘ironed in’ over the years.

Sleeping on silk is a great expert beauty tip and a long-time beauty secret. Slipsilk™ has been shown to reduce friction by 43% on average*, allowing skin to glide along the pillow, which can reduce pressure on creased skin

 3.  Anti Bed Head

The world’s most renowned hairstylists have long recommended sleeping on gentle, hair-friendly silk to help preserve your blow out. Ordinary pillowcases can cause hair tangling during the night. In laboratory testing, slipsilk™ has been shown to reduce friction by 43% on average*.

Care Instructions

• pH neutral liquid detergent
• machine wash delicate 30°C (86°F) (delicates wash bag)
• hand wash 30°C (86°F)
• dry clean
• no trichloroethylene
• iron low heat
• steam or dry
• do not bleach
• do not tumble dry

Traditionally, silk is hand wash and dry clean only. Ours are of the highest quality so they are machine washable, but they are still silk and need as much care as we can give them.

ALWAYS use a ph neutral liquid detergent and/or fabric softener. Silk is a natural fibre and washing in a solution that’s too acidic or alkaline can cause the silk to harden in a single wash. If you can't find a detergent that specifies ph level then just go for one that specifies silk. Do not use bleach products.

Another important factor is water temperature. Even just slightly above 30 degrees Centigrade or 85 degrees Fahrenheit can change silk dramatically. The safest method if your machine doesn't specify exact heat settings is either cold or just one level above cold.

A delicates bag is optional, depending on your washing machine and whether or not it tends to grab items and tear them. 

If you wish to maximise the life of your pillowcase, hand washing is the ultimate method.

The gentler you wash your slip pillow case, the longer it will keep its sheen. The shinier it is, the better it will 'slip', which is one of the benefits to its health and beauty qualities.

The same goes for drying your pillowcase, do not place in tumble dryer.

In other words, the better you care for your slip pillow case, the better it will care for you.
