If you’ve browsed or purchased any of our mulberry silk pieces, you may have noticed the Okeo-Tex Certified label, but do you know what that label stands for? We’re here to explain!
What is the Okeo-Tex label?
Products that have the Okeo-Tex label have been tested for over 1000 hazardous products and have been proven free of toxic or harmful substances. The Okeo-Tex Standard sets the bar for textile safety, from the initial fabrics to the finished end product.
Harmful substances in textiles can harm your health from the contact on your skin, or by being breathed in, which is why the Okeo-Tex Standard is so important to keep you safe from toxics and ensure you’re using only the best quality toxic-free products.
At Jasmine Silk, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality grade A mulberry silk, finished with the Okeo-Tex Standard label of course! The reason we’re so passionate about our mulberry silk products is because they offer so many health benefits for the skin, meaning we want our customers to feel great in mulberry silk clothing, or wrapped up in mulberry silk sheets.
Why is mulberry silk good for our skin?
The biggest reason why mulberry silk is so great for the skin is due to its natural hypoallergenic qualities. This gentle fabric is the perfect choice for even those with the most sensitive skin, including babies. Thanks to the anti allergenic qualities, mulberry silk won’t cause irritation and will keep your skin hydrated.
Whether you’re wrapped up in silk sheets or wearing a silk garment, the natural temperature regulating properties of mulberry silk promise to keep you comfortable at all times. The complete breathability of mulberry silk keeps your skin cool in the summer months and comfortably warm in the winter.
If you’re sleeping with a silk pillowcase or using a silk sleep mask, you’ll definitely benefit from the beauty benefits of mulberry silk. Unlike typical cotton products, silk does not absorb moisture from your skin, allowing your skin to remain hydrated and fresh when you wake up in the morning. Fine lines and wrinkles are naturally reduced using silk around the delicate areas of your face, and thanks to the gentle, soft fabric, your hair will also thank you for the reduced friction and less morning frizz.
