With its mulberry silk fabric, you’ll not only stay cool, but it also protects your skin and hair. Mulberry silk is also hypoallergenic, meaning it’s less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin. According to the brand, “it prevents creases around the eyes” and “protects skin and hair from friction damage.” On the skin, friction damage can lead to skin irritation. For hair, it can result in split ends or breakage. Using soft materials, like silk, helps minimize friction and reduces this risk.
