Identification of Mulberry Silk and Synthetic Silk
-
Burn Test
- 100% Mulberry Silk: When burned, natural silk produces a loose, dark brown or black ash. The remaining ash crushes effortlessly into a fine powder under light finger pressure without clumping.
- Synthetic Silk: Synthetic fabrics melt and shrink rapidly from the flame. Upon cooling, they form hard, rigid dark gray or brown beads that are nearly impossible to crush by hand.
-
Drape & Skin-Feel
- 100% Mulberry Silk: Features an elegant, fluid drape that flows naturally with your silhouette. Ultra-soft and exceptionally breathable, it offers a luxurious, skin-friendly touch with superior air circulation.
- Synthetic Silk: Exhibits a stiff, unnatural hang and creases easily. The rough texture feels low-quality on the skin, trapping heat while offering poor breathability.
-
Temperature Regulation and Breathability
- 100% Mulberry Silk: Naturally temperature-regulating and ultra-breathable. The soft, fluid fibers allow continuous airflow to maintain constant body comfort without overheating.
- Synthetic Silk: Traps heat and moisture, leading to temperature fluctuations and night sweats. The rigid fibers feel stiff and unbreathable against the skin.
-
Hypoallergenic & Anti-Static
- 100% Mulberry Silk: Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mold, and allergens. Its smooth, friction-free proteins naturally eliminate static cling, protecting hair and sensitive skin.
- Synthetic Silk: Lacks natural defense against allergens, making it prone to dust build-up. High friction causes frequent static electricity, causing hair frizz and skin irritation.
