Product information
Seresilk products have a shelf-life of 36 months and should last 12 months after being opened.
Our Silk Night Serum includes Retinyl Palmitate (less than 1%), we would recommend you consult a health professional if pregnant.
Our products can be used on all skin types. If you are unsure, we recommend using only a small dose to assess its effects, and contacting a health professional for guidance. Seresilk’s current product range works best on normal-slightly dry skin types.
Our practice of processing silk is “Ahimsa”; a nonviolent, cruelty-free method of harvesting products for our formulations.
Our exfoliators however do not constitute “ahimsa”, as the cocoon is cut open and the pupa is moved to a separate container to continue its development into a moth. No silkworms are killed in this process and suppliers meet cruelty-free requirements.

Silk in skincare
Silk is skincare’s best kept secret! Two of the most defining benefits are from silk proteins; sericin and fibroin. Sericin provides a layer of protection which functions as a hydration barrier. This protects the skin from pollutants and contributes to reducing fine lines, wrinkles and resulting in plumper, smoother skin. Fibroin repairs cells and balances skin’s moisture levels. This is hugely beneficial for damaged skin and dehydration.
HSC-01A™ undergoes a precise lab hydrolysis process which unlocks a rare cocktail of di- and tripeptides alongside silk’s native 18 free amino acids. Sharing a 90% rate of affinity with the human skin and echoing its natural-moisturising factors, these amino acids rebuild the intercellular lipid matrix, while bioactive peptides prompt fibroblasts to support elasticity and renew the skin's youthful luminosity.
The benefits of silk for skin care are abundant. Silk is one of the strongest naturally occurring fibres found in nature, high in amino acids which is crucial for our skin. Silk offers protective benefits from pollutants as well as signs of ageing. Some of these include preventing dark spots, pollution protection, repairing damaged skin cells, hydrating, improving complexion and enhancing skin firmness.
Seresilk anti-ageing products' primary ingredient is silk. Silk has been found to have natural healing properties which can contribute to healthier and more youthful looking skin.
The silk farm
All our silk is derived from Silkworms fed on mulberry leaves - not artificial silkworm food. This silk is often referred to as "Mulberry Silk".
They are fed fresh mulberry leaves up to 3 times a day for approx 30 days and enclosures are cleaned daily. This silk comes from the silk cocoon that the silkworm spins. After 14 days it will emerge as a moth, at which stage cocoons will be collected.
In our self-run facilities we make sure enclosures are not overcrowded so they have comfortable living conditions.
Silk-moths are domesticated and cannot fly nor eat. Therefore, they are cared for as they mate and lay eggs, for the remainder of their life (approx. 14 days).
We do not release the moths into the wild as being domesticated, they would be eaten.
