FAQ
Does A Moonchild Silk Pillowcases Fit My Memory Foam, Tempur Or Neck Pillow?
To find the right size for your favourite neck pillow - just measure the maximum scope and divide by two. That way you ensure to pay attention on heights and size. If needed, fold underneath on the inside.
Silk Pillows - How Much Momme Do They 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?
What Is The Grade Of Moonchild Silk?
Moonchild uses only the best A+ grade satin silk, organically and ethically gained and woven under fair labour conditions in Italy.
Satin vs Silk - What's The Difference?
Sateen 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, might be highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic.

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 in our peace silk article. 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. The more organic we keep silk, the more we benefit from its skin-loving superpowers.

Silk Care
Silk Pillowcase - How To Wash?
Delicate silk can easily be washed by the delicate cycle and with a special silk detergent. There is no need to dry clean silk pillowcases. Silk dries quick. Avoid direct sunlight and dry rather laying on a towel than hanging. Read on in our article about silk care.
Silk Pillowcase - Wash 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. 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 week or every other week will do the job. Read on why your average pillowcase might be the dirtiest item in your bedroom and organic silk is ideal to prevent acne.
Can I Wash A Silk Pillowcase With Soap Or Shampoo?
Please refrain from using shampoo or soap for silk pillowcases. 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 Silk Detergent and an occasional hint of vinegar at the end of the washing cycle for that extra brilliance.
The Lid Of My Silk Wash Is Stuck - How To Open?
No worries, just add some heat to the glass to expand it a little 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. Reuse and repurpose your Apothecary bottle after you finished the product.
