FAQ - Frequently Asked Question

FAQ

How is Moonchild different from other silk brands?

We believe in silk pillowcases that are as soft on the earth as they are on our bed. The old-fashioned textile industry has spent years consuming tons of water, harming animals, and polluting our oceans and air with toxic chemicals. We’re here with a fresh start: a new era of silk that is earth-friendly, skin-friendly, cruelty-free, and super-soft. Because we think our best night’s sleep is even better when it doesn’t harm the environment.

We don’t only choose silk that is better for the planet, but that just feels better, too.

Learn more about our story.

Does a Moonchild silk pillowcase fit my memory foam, tempur or neck pillow?

If you want to find the right size for your favourite neck pillow - measure the maximum scope and divide by two. That way you ensure to include heights and length. If needed, fold underneath on the inside.

How much momme does Moonchild silk have?

Our special organic silk has 19 momme. We choose the softest density to maximise beauty enhancing benefits. The thicker the silk, the less soft it will be. Did you know that conventional silk often contains a polyester blend to make it look shinier? Or that it is made heavier with chromium or barium because it is traded by weight? Momme is a weight unit and not a quality criteria.

What is the grade of Moonchild silk?

Moonchild uses the most exquisite organic silk on the market, organically and ethically gained and woven under fair labour conditions in Italy by the same mills producing for the world's leading high-fashion houses.

Satin vs silk - what's the difference?

Sateen or satin is a weave pattern that creates a silky-smooth feel, and lustrous sheen. But it could be made of any fabric, such as cotton or polyester. Only genuine silk is naturally anti-microbial, anti-fungal and keeps our hair and skin hydrated. A satin silk pillowcase provides all beauty benefits for our hair, skin and overall well-being. Read on how to spot the difference.

How is Moonchild silk dyed?

All Moonchild colours are hand dyed in a certified sustainable and non-toxic way in Italy, Europe. That is how we ensure safe textiles since research suggests that conventional textile dyes and solvents, such as formaldehyde or chlorine bleach, could be highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Read on about toxins in textiles.

Sustainability

What makes Moonchild silk organic, fair and sustainable?

Moonchild silk is organic, that means no pesticides, GMO's and chemical fertiliser are used for the Mulberry plantations. No toxic chemicals are used in the degumming or weaving process and silkworms are not harmed. This makes our silk ethical, fair, sustainable and organic. Read on about our special Peace Silk. Our production is nearly waste-free. If you re-use your shipping box and re-purpose your gift box, we achieve a no-plastic and no-waste approach together. We ship climate neutral with DHL GoGreen.

Why is Moonchild more costly than similar products?

We follow a different approach for the creation process of our products which is the epitome of slow fashion: We invest thoughts and time to create a truly high-end and sustainable production. We develop our products from scratch challenging the status quo:

  • from sophisticated design
  • endless sampling rounds till perfection
  • to dedicated pattern making
  • unique colour development
  • even our silk is woven in Italy upon request for us
  • we are not dropshipping our products from the same Chinese factories as many market companions

We make high-end quality accessible by cutting out typical middleman markups and work with factories that produce for luxury brands thus providing identical quality at competitive costs. Read on about Moonchild. Luxury is found in the details: with truly organic silk and advanced tailoring that will pay off with long-lasting delight. We only use French seams. No more torn out seams and zippers. Don't go for the cheapest, go for what works and stands the test of time!

Where and how do you produce?

All our products are manufactured in Europe within the EU. The silk is woven and dyed in Italy. We work in manufacturers in Germany, Poland and Portugal and with seamstresses that produce for leading high-fashion brands, ensuring only the best quality craftsmanship and therefore long-lasting delight. We could not do it any other way.

How do your suppliers support their workers?

Our supplier ensures fair and safe working conditions along the whole supply chain: from the Mulberry plantation to the fabric processing. This includes that no child labour and no forced labour are involved in the production, safe work environments are established and all workers a paid fair and above living wage (which is above the minimum wage). We work closely with everyone along our transparent supply chain and regularly audit.

Where do you source the fabrics? Which certifications do they have?

We source our certified organic silk directly in Italy. That way we shift most of our supply chain within the EU with its transparent and strict rules. All our fabrics further fulfil the highest organic standards and certifications from source to delivery. Read on about certifications here.

Silk Care

How to wash silk pillowcases?

Silk care is actually easy when a few steps are considered. Silk can be washed in the delicate cycle and with a special silk detergent. There is no need to dry clean silk pillowcases as silk dries quick. Wash colours separately. Read on how silk care is actually easy.

Can I wash a silk pillowcase in the washing machine?

Machine wash cold is safe for silk pillowcases. They are ideally placed within in a laundry bag and tumble dried low to not damage the gentle fibers.

Can I use a dryer for silk pillowcases?

We do not recommend a dryer for silk pillowcases as silk is sensitive to heat and might shrink or get damaged.

How often shall I wash my silk pillowcase?

As silk is naturally stain and dust repellent, there's no need to exchange a pillowcase too often. For normal use - a quick wash every or every other week shall do the job. Read on why your average pillowcase might be the dirtiest item in your bedroom and organic silk helps to prevent acne.

Can I wash a silk pillowcase with soap or shampoo?

If you love your silk, please refrain from using shampoo or soap for silk. Even detergents for delicates might not be ideal, when they claim to be used for wool and silk as both have different needs. The better you care for your silk, the longer it will return the favour with long-lasting shine and smoothness. We recommend a special silk detergent and an occasional hint of vinegar at the end of the washing cycle for that extra brilliance.

The glass lid of my silk detergent is stuck - how to open?

No worries, adding heat will expand the glass and release pressure. Let warm water run over the bottle neck for a few seconds or heat it with a hair dryer. Twist the lid out carefully then. Reuse and repurpose your Apothecary glass bottle after you finished the product.
