Unravel the Silk Secret.
Legend has it that silk was first discovered over 5,000 years ago by the ancient Chinese empress, Leizu. While taking a morning stroll in her royal garden, a small yet perfectly ovate object gently landed in her tea. Unravelling, its threads revelled like shimmering strands of light to reveal a luminous beauty that seemed to capture the very essence of nature's elegance.
Guarded fiercely in the far-East for centuries, this treasured craft spread across continents in the middle ages through whispers and many daring journeys.
Rapid Growth
In just one month each silkworm multiplies ten thousand times its initial size—eating 50 times its body weight in mulberry leaves—more than any other animal in the planet.
Harvested Once-Yearly
As the final act of its larval stage, each silkworm masterfully spins a single cocoon of pure silk—representing a life's work—on its remarkable 14-day transformation into a silk moth.
Peace Silk
After emerging from its cocoon of pure silk, the flightless silk moth continues its natural life cycle peacefully while its discarded silk cocoon is collected and purified.
Embracing the Natural Silk Process.
The Seresilk range embraces the material’s unique character and reflects the extraordinary care needed to produce even the smallest amount of material. Unlike mass-produced skincare, each annual cycle of silk production is synchronised to match the product development process.
Timeless Beauty.
Your first order placed directly through the Seresilk website is accompanied by a bespoke, hand-blown hourglass. Each piece is meticulously sealed to encase a single strand of pure, Australian silk.
This finely crafted keepsake embodies the unparalleled elegance and enduring allure of silk, as a timeless reflection of luxury and beauty.
The Art of Balance.
The silk process requires exquisite attention to detail and delicate balance
Seresilk founder, Taylor Battistella sought to harmonise his unrivalled expertise and profound knowledge of Seres heritage with the uniquely cruelty-free silk nurtured on Australian soil, to craft a bespoke skincare ritual that offers its remarkable benefits across four expertly developed and dermatologically approved formulations.
Uniquely Cruelty-free.
Silk is nature's strongest yet lightest fibre, but traditional production methods are both cruel and harmful to silkworms. We ethically collect silk as a by-product from responsibly reared Australian silkworms.
