Raw silk is covered with the protein sericin which can help heal eczema and other skin breakdowns. Sericin (which you will find is an ingredient in high-end beauty products) is produced by the silkworm when spinning a cocoon. Sericin binds to the keratin of skin, forming a protective film. Highly moisture-binding and film-forming, it is said to be:

1. Excellent in absorbing and releasing moisture. Sericin is smooth and gentle on the skin. Raw silk reduces the uncomfortableness of being sweaty and wet.

2. Provides moisture to skin

3. Gentle on the skin--it does not stick to the skin. Yet even after repeated washing, its effect remains almost the same. It gives a gentle, soft silky touch

4. Skin care material produced from pure sericin is less irritant and gentle on delicate skin

5. Provides an antibacterial coating

6. Provides microdermabrasion for glowing skin

7. Stimulates circulation

8. Contains 18 amino acids and collagen that may be directly absorbed into the skin

**** I use raw silk washcloth at the gym to blot my sweat away. It does not leave my skin feeling dried out like cotton does!****

The texture of raw silk can be surprising. It feels rather stiff, cotton-like, and you can see the little "slubs" in it. This is the NATURAL properties of silk noil. It does however, "loosen up" with repeated washing and use to a very soft and relaxed point.

Convo me if you want a sample of the silk before you buy!

To maintain the benefits of sericin, wash in cool to warm water. Use a soap or other gentle cleaner will most likely be fine (read the ingredients first--no bleach!). May be machine dried on low heat.
