The iSeelk brand
Inspired by an ancient story from China, iSeelk offers a collection of luxury pillowcases and accessories made of pure mulberry silk with anti-aging properties, designed for the face and hair.
This silk of incomparable quality acts as a treatment with multiple benefits: anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, antibacterial, and anti-frizz for the ultimate care of hair and skin.
A quick focus on silk
Silk is still considered the ultimate luxury material today thanks to its qualities.
Silk thread is a continuous filament (unlike cotton, which produces broken fibers), thin but very strong (with strength comparable to steel wire).
Silk insulates very well; it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, providing a feeling of freshness while letting the skin breathe.

The list of benefits of a silk pillowcase for the skin and hair:
- Hydration: silk protein does not absorb but maintains and regulates the skin's natural moisture, unlike cotton. Silk has hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties. It is recommended for sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin to avoid irritation or redness caused by repeated friction.
- Anti-aging: the suppleness and smooth surface of silk prevent the formation of sleep lines and the appearance of wrinkles.
- Calming: silk has a soothing and hypoallergenic effect for sensitive or irritated skin.
- Anti-breakage and hair protection: silk reduces friction, which is the primary cause of hair weakening. Its natural agents (sericin and fibroin) ensure the hair cuticles are smoothed and reduce the formation of knots. Hair will be shinier with fewer split ends.
- Temperature regulation: a natural temperature regulator, silk helps reduce stress for a more toned face and a luminous complexion.
How to take care of your silk pillowcase?
Silk can be machine washed at 30 degrees (86°F) and there are detergents designed specifically for this material. Before washing your pillowcase, remember to turn it inside out and absolutely do not place it in the dryer afterwards. Another option: wash it by hand.
