Celebrate Environment Day with Emily's Pillow: discover our 100% natural, sustainable and ethical silk pillowcases

Every year, Environment Day, celebrated on June 5th, reminds us of the urgent need to adopt sustainable actions to preserve our planet. At Emily's Pillow, we believe it's possible to combine comfort and respect for nature with ethical silk products.

Specialists in 100% natural mulberry silk pillowcases, we place the environment at the heart of every step of manufacturing, from the cocoon to your bedroom, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and eco-responsibility.

In this article, discover how ethical silk is proving itself to be a responsible and beneficial choice for the planet, while offering you incomparable softness.

AN ETHICAL PRODUCTION CHAIN

COMPARISON WITH SYNTHETIC FIBERS

Synthetic textiles , made from petroleum , emit on average 3 to 5 times more CO₂ during production than natural silk . They also release microplastics during washing, which are harmful to marine life . Choosing Emily's Pillow silk means reducing your carbon footprint and preserving the quality of the water in our oceans thanks to a high-quality Oeko-tex certified fabric.

SELECTION OF 100% NATURAL AND CERTIFIED RAW MATERIALS

At Emily's Pillow , we carefully select each cocoon from environmentally friendly production . We use grade 6A silk, renowned for its exceptional quality. Our suppliers are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, guaranteeing full traceability of the silk.

REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT

Since our launch, we've been doing everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint. That's why we prioritize shipping our products from Asia to France by rail whenever possible, a more environmentally friendly alternative to air transport. A longer logistics option , but one that's kinder to the planet.

WHY CHOOSE AN EMILY'S PILLOW SILK PILLOWCASE?

  • The texture of our silk limits friction on the skin and hair , reducing wrinkles and hair breakage .

    By limiting friction during the night , our silk pillowcases prevent the appearance of wrinkles and reduce sleep marks : you wake up with smoother skin and silkier hair , without knots or breakage .

  • Silk is naturally hypoallergenic : it is impossible for dust mites to develop there, which makes our pillowcases a valuable ally for sensitive skin , prone to irritation or allergic reactions . You will therefore benefit from restful sleep , night after night .

  • Thanks to its natural fibers , silk acts as a real humidity regulator : it slightly absorbs excess moisture from the skin .

    Result: your skin remains supple and perfectly hydrated , without any feeling of tightness . In addition, silk has excellent insulating properties : it keeps you cool on hot nights and envelops you in softness when the temperature drops. Tailor-made comfort , whatever the season .
