ZIMASILK Mulberry Silk Pillowcase Throw 18"x18" Pink 19 Momme Silk

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What makes ZIMASILK pillowcases beneficial for hair and skin? A: Our 100% Mulberry silk pillowcases are crafted from the finest 19 momme silk, which is naturally hypoallergenic and contains natural proteins and amino acids. These properties help to reduce friction between your hair and pillow, minimizing frizz, breakage, and tangles. For your skin, the smooth surface of silk allows your skin to glide, preventing sleep creases and reducing irritation. Unlike cotton, silk doesn't absorb moisture, helping your skin retain its natural hydration and the effectiveness of your skincare products.
• Q: What is "momme" and why is 19 momme significant? A: Momme is a unit of weight used to measure the density and quality of silk fabric. A higher momme count indicates a heavier, more durable, and higher-quality silk. 19 momme is considered a premium weight for silk pillowcases, offering a luxurious feel, excellent durability, and optimal benefits for hair and skin without being excessively heavy.
• Q: Is this pillowcase made of 100% Mulberry silk on both sides? A: Yes, our ZIMASILK pillowcase is made of 100% Mulberry silk on both sides, ensuring you receive the full benefits of silk for your hair and skin regardless of which side you sleep on.

• Q: What is the color of this pillowcase? A: This ZIMASILK pillowcase is a beautiful shade of Pink.
• Q: How do I care for my ZIMASILK pillowcase? A: To maintain the quality and longevity of your silk pillowcase, we recommend hand washing it in cold water with a mild silk-specific detergent. Gently rinse and avoid wringing. For machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry your silk pillowcase away from direct sunlight. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.
• Q: Is ZIMASILK silk hypoallergenic? A: Yes, Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic. Its smooth surface and natural composition make it resistant to dust mites and other allergens, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
• Q: Will sleeping on silk help with acne? A: Many users report improvements in skin clarity when using silk pillowcases. The smooth, non-absorbent surface of silk can reduce friction and irritation that might exacerbate acne. It also helps to keep your skin's natural moisture intact and prevents your skincare products from being absorbed by the pillow, potentially leading to clearer skin.
• Q: How does silk compare to cotton for hair and skin? A: Cotton is a porous material that absorbs moisture from your hair and skin, leading to dryness, frizz, and sleep creases. Silk, on the other hand, is a natural protein fiber with a very smooth surface. It retains moisture, allowing your hair and skin to stay hydrated. The reduced friction of silk also prevents hair breakage and minimizes the formation of facial wrinkles compared to cotton.
• Q: Is this pillowcase suitable for all hair types? A: Yes, ZIMASILK pillowcases are beneficial for all hair types, including curly, straight, fine, thick, and color-treated hair. The reduction in friction helps to prevent breakage and frizz across the spectrum of hair textures.
