What is Mulberry Silk and Why Is It So Good for Your Skin?

What is Mulberry Silk and Why Is It So Good for Your Skin?
 NEWLY LAUNCHED: SILK PILLOWCASES IN PEARL WHITE 

Octobre 27th, 2024

As the founder of Juniper, I’m excited to announce our latest addition to our premium home collection: Mulberry Silk Pillowcases, launching soon! These aren’t just luxurious accessories; they provide incredible benefits for your skin, hair, and overall sleep quality. In this post, we’ll explore the origins of Mulberry Silk, why it’s considered the finest silk in the world, and how upgrading to our silk products can transform your nightly routine.

What is Mulberry Silk?

Mulberry silk, widely recognized as the most luxurious and high-quality silk available, is produced by Bombyx mori silkworms that are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves. This careful diet produces long, smooth, and durable fibers that are spun into the lush, soft fabric we know as Mulberry Silk. Its unmatched softness, natural sheen, and durability set it apart from other silks.

  


Why is Mulberry Silk More Expensive?


The price of Mulberry Silk reflects its superior quality and the meticulous process involved in its production:

  • Source: Mulberry Silk comes from silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves, resulting in longer, finer fibers. In contrast, standard silk comes from silkworms with a more varied diet, leading to coarser, shorter fibers.
  • Quality: Mulberry Silk boasts a smooth texture, a beautiful sheen, and excellent durability. Standard silk typically doesn’t match this level of softness or strength.
  • Production Process: Cultivating mulberry leaves and carefully rearing silkworms adds to the complexity and cost of producing Mulberry Silk. Other types of silk are often produced with less precision, yielding a lower grade fabric.


Why is Mulberry Silk So Good for Your Skin and Hair?

Mulberry Silk is more than just an indulgence—it’s packed with real benefits that positively impact your skin, hair, and overall comfort:

  • Skin Care: The smooth, frictionless texture of Mulberry Silk reduces the appearance of sleep lines and wrinkles. Its hypoallergenic nature is perfect for sensitive skin, helping to reduce irritation while maintaining skin hydration.
  • Hair Health: Traditional pillowcases can cause friction, leading to breakage and frizz. Mulberry Silk’s gentle surface lets your hair glide effortlessly, reducing split ends and promoting shinier, healthier locks.
  • Temperature Regulation: Silk naturally adjusts to your body temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, ensuring a more comfortable and restful sleep throughout the year.
  • Hypoallergenic: Mulberry Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and other allergens, making it ideal for allergy sufferers or those with asthma.
  • Moisture Retention: Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture from your skin and hair, Mulberry Silk helps retain your skin’s natural hydration, enhancing the effectiveness of your skincare products.

The story behind the Decorative Collection Palma

We are so excited to finally share Juniper’s latest launch – a collection of decorative pillows and bedspreads. This is a collection that captures the essence of boutique hotel luxury, but reimagined to feel right at home.


Handmade in Stockholm, each piece is crafted with carefully chosen fabrics from some of Europe’s finest textile houses. The inspiration for this collection comes from a place that is deeply meaningful to Juniper: Gran Hotel Son Net in Mallorca. It’s the very hotel where the idea for Juniper was born – a place that beautifully blends luxury with the warmth of a personal home.

For this collection, even the smallest details have been thoughtfully considered. The inner pillows are crafted in Denmark using recycled ocean plastics, transformed into high-quality fiberfill. Sustainability and craftsmanship are at the heart of every piece.

The first release features a set of decorative pillows and bedspreads designed to make your spaces feel both unique and inviting. My hope is that these pieces will bring the same sense of relaxation and elegance you’d find at a boutique hotel while feeling entirely your own.

Our photoshoot for this collection took us back to Mallorca. Stay tuned as we share these moments and give you a closer look at the collection that we are so proud to share with you.

Thoughts from Mathilda, Founder of Juniper

I’m completely in love with our new collection, Palma. It’s amazing how it can transform a room and add that little something extra. For me, it’s all about the small details that bring joy—like walking into your bedroom after a long day, turning on the light, and feeling that warm, inviting atmosphere. Or curling up on the sofa with your morning coffee, surrounded by soft textures that inspire a sense of calm for the day ahead. These moments are what this collection is all about.
