Yes, we use non-toxic dyes. We work closely with our suppliers to meet the international Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which is one of the world's most stringent labels for textiles tested for harmful substances.
-
All of our Silc® hair clips are made of cellulose acetate, a 100% natural and eco-friendly material derived from natural cotton and wood pulp fibers. Unlike plastic accessories, acetate is non-petroleum based and offers excellent durability, flexibility, and smoothness. The material also molds itself to the shape of your head, preventing the headaches that can sometimes come with wearing plastic clips.
-
Please note that while cellulose acetate is water-resistant, prolonged immersion in water can cause damage to the material.
-
Our pillowcases are currently available in two sizes: 50x70cm (standard) and 65x65cm (square). Although we strive to meet everyone's needs, these sizes are the most popular in Switzerland. If you require a different size, please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know.

Momme is a weight measurement used for silk fabric, similar to thread count for cotton sheets. A higher momme indicates a heavier, denser weave, resulting in a softer feel overall. At Silc®, we exclusively use and guarantee 100% pure Mulberry silk of the highest quality, with a 22 momme weight and a 6A grade.

The answer is simple: anyone who uses a pillow! Our pillowcases are loved by people of all ages, from kids, teenagers, mothers to grandparents. Using a silk pillowcase can help you wake up feeling more refreshed and relaxed every morning, making it a valuable beauty tool. Silk is beneficial for all skin and hair types, promoting a refreshed, healthy, and glowing complexion, as well as beautiful, smooth, and tangle-free hair. This is especially true for those with delicate or problematic skin, or thinning or frizzy hair. Silk pillowcases are also helpful for those who struggle with sleep as the material can stimulate sensory points on the skin, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.

Silk offers numerous beauty benefits for the skin, making it a miracle beauty tool. It has anti-aging properties, promotes hydration, and has a soothing and healing effect on problematic skin. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is like having a beauty treatment while you sleep, and it can be more effective than creams and serums. The smooth surface of silk allows the skin to glide across the pillow, preventing side creases and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Silk aids in the skin's natural cell regeneration process that occurs during sleep. Its low absorbency helps the skin retain moisture, leaving it looking firm, hydrated, and radiant in the morning. Silk is also a great choice for people with acne, eczema, or sunburn, as it is gentle, soft, and non-toxic, which minimizes skin irritation.
-
Silk is a game-changer for hair care. Traditional cotton pillowcases can cause hair to become tangled, frizzy and damaged due to the friction caused by the rough surface. Silk pillowcases, on the other hand, have a smooth surface that reduces friction, allowing the hair to glide over the pillowcase. This helps to reduce breakage, split ends, and tangling, which can result in healthier-looking hair. The natural proteins in silk also help to retain the hair's moisture, keeping it hydrated and less prone to drying out. This can lead to hair that is smoother, shinier, and less frizzy. Silk pillowcases are especially beneficial for people with curly or textured hair, which is more prone to tangling and frizz. By sleeping on a silk pillowcase, you can wake up to hair that is soft, smooth, and tangle-free.
-
Have you ever considered what you're sleeping on? Most of us spend a third of our life sleeping on traditional cotton pillowcases, which can actually harm our skin and hair. Cotton's rough surface can cause damage and dehydration to delicate skin and hair. In contrast, our luxurious silk pillowcases are hypoallergenic, resistant to dust mites, and less absorbent than cotton. The smooth, soft texture of silk stimulates sensory points on the skin and adapts to temperature for a more comfortable sleeping experience. Invest in our unique silk collection for a beauty sleep like no other.

At Silc®, we believe in giving back for all the blessings that life has bestowed upon us. That's why we've partnered with the non-profit Solyna Foundation to support their cause by donating 1 CHF with every Silc® purchase.
The Solyna Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organization that's dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and reintegrating child victims of trafficking or sexual violence in Cambodia. Their mission is to raise awareness about the under-reported issue of child trafficking and sexual violence against children and to raise funds in Switzerland to help hundreds of victims.
