How It Works
Two properties, both to do with the structure of the fibre.
Friction. Cotton is spun from short staple fibres, twisted into yarn — the surface is textured, and hair catches on it. Silk is a continuous filament, smooth along its whole length. Less texture means less drag, so across a night's movement hair meets less resistance and less mechanical stress.
Wicking. Cotton fibres are hollow. That structure draws liquid along by capillary action — it's what makes towels work, and it's why a cotton pillowcase pulls moisturiser off your face. Silk filaments have no such channel, so a cream applied at night is more likely to still be on your skin than in your pillowcase.
That's the whole of it. These are properties of the fibre, not effects on your body — we're not going to tell you what your skin will look like in thirty days.

What It Means For Hair
Hair moves more than you think overnight. Every turn drags it across the pillow, and on cotton that means catching — the fabric's texture grips, and the cuticle takes the wear. Over months that shows up as breakage, split ends and morning frizz.
Silk's surface offers far less resistance. Hair slides rather than snags, so the same amount of movement does less damage.
The effect is largest if your hair is curly, textured, colour-treated or heat-styled — anything that's already put stress on the cuticle has less margin for more.
It won't make hair grow, and it won't repair damage already done. It reduces one source of ongoing mechanical wear, which is a smaller claim than most brands make and a more honest one.

Whats Not In It
Silk is a protein fibre — the same family as hair and skin — spun by the silkworm and requiring no synthetic base. Our fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, which means every component has been tested against limit values for harmful substances, including residues from dyeing and finishing.
That's a narrower claim than "hypoallergenic," and a checkable one. Certificate number SH025 231655, issued by TESTEX.

FAQs
How often should I wash my pillowcase?
Every one to two weeks. Cool machine wash on gentle in a mesh bag, pH-neutral detergent, hang to dry. No bleach, no fabric softener, no tumble dryer, no dry cleaning.
Whats the difference between 22-momme and cheaper silk?
Momme is the weight of the fabric. Most pillowcases are 16 or 19-momme; ours is 22 — around a third heavier. It feels denser and lasts longer through washing. Anything sold as "satin" is usually polyester, which is a weave rather than a fibre.
Will It Slip Off My Pillow?
No — it has a hidden zipper rather than an envelope closure.
Which Colour Should I Choose?
They're identical apart from colour. Natural White and Beige are the most popular; Charcoal hides makeup and hair product best between washes.
What if the pillowcase doesn't work for me?
If for any reason you feel that it isn't working for you or you're simply not vibing it, send us an email to admin@youthfulskinco.com and we'll fix you up with a full refund.
