Discover the Benefits of Silk Proteins
Silk isn't just a luxurious fabric – it's your skin's best-kept secret.
Our uniquely Australian silk skincare is carefully curated and tailored to address your skin's unique demands as it ages, offering a transformative experience that transcends your average skincare.
Indulge in the luxury of silk as it revitalises, hydrates, and conquers the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Elevate your skincare ritual and discover the luminosity that awaits, and let your radiant glow shine bright.
The secret behind silk skincare lies in the 18 powerful amino acids including serine (SER), glycine (GLY) and alanine (ALA).
These proteins share a 90% rate of similarity with the human body, leading to improved absorption; meaning our products won't just sit on top of your skin for a luxurious lightweight finish.
You won't just get the anti-ageing benefits lying in the silk, but also improved results from the additional accompanying active ingredients such as vitamin A, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
Silk has been used in skincare for 5,000 years, where the women working on the Chinese silk farms are famed for having "the softest hands in the world".
The secret? The 18 amino acids including serine (SER), fibroin and alanine in each silk cocoon.
Each cocoon is masterfully spun by a single silkworm over 3 days and measures up to 1,000m of continuous filament using nature's strongest but lightest fibre; silk.
The problem? Typical silk production involves the live boiling of millions upon millions of silkworms.
The Seresilk difference? All of our silk is 100% Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free!
How? Seresilk founder Taylor Battistella started his first business at 12 years of age and has since become the driver of the Australian silk industry.
Having battled with extremely irritated and sensitive teenage skin, he felt an obligation to develop a formulation that supported silk's natural healing properties for the world.
Born was Seresilk; bringing nature's best kept secret to the world in uniquely trusted and dermatologically tested + approved skincare formulations.
Our mulberry silk skincare is rich in silk proteins, formed by silk's 18 amino acids that work to create a nourishing shield around your skin. This shield allows the additional benefits of silk to truly shine.
- Sericin's (SER) antioxidant properties protect the skin from pollution and free radicals.
- Glycine (GLY) aids in hydration retention by preventing trans-epidermal water loss.
- Proline (PRO) stimulates collagen production to restore youthful radiance and empower your skin.
- Alanine (ALA) provides skin barrier support for improved wound healing, firmness and elasticity.
- Aspartic acid (ASP) stabilises and supports active ingredients to work effectively and let our silk shine.

Silk Has Been Used in Skincare for 5,000 Years; We're only Just Getting Started

The Journey
Seresilk Founder Taylor Battistella started his first business Everything Silkworms at 12 years of age. He has since become the driver of Australia's silk industry.
-
The Discovery
Along the way, he learnt of the incredible therapeutic benefits of silk in skincare and its power to stimulate collagen production and enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture.
-
The Inspiration
Having battled with extremely irritated and sensitive teenage skin, he felt an obligation to develop formulations that supported silk's natural healing properties for the world.
Having sold silkworms to over 1,000+ schools and 10,000+ retail customers across Australia, Battistella decided to bring his expertise to the skincare industry, and so Seresilk was born.
From Curiosity of Silk to Skincare Remedy
Seresilk lets its silk shine in all formulations, using only 24 ingredients across a 4-step night routine.
Research estimates that women use 515 individual chemicals on their skin daily. Seresilk was developed out of a desire to create a simple routine that harnesses silk's natural healing properties which help moisturise, hydrate, repair and protect the skin's barrier.

Dermatologically Tested + Approved Formulations
Silk's two main amino acid proteins; fibroin and sericin help protect skin from the effects of pollution by scooping up free radicals thanks to silk's antioxidant properties.
Not only this, but silk's sericin has a number of hydrating and remedial properties, which support cell regeneration, and elasticity for increased skin firmness.
After 2.5+ years of development, Seresilk became a reality, and its simple, proprietary formulations boast the use of only 24 ingredients across its comprehensive - yet simple - night routine.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It...
-
“I want more of it now. The texture, smell, look and feel were spot on for a dry skin type. I am super fussy about the cleansers I use but this might just be the best one I’ve ever used.”
-
“The Silk Night Serum was so good, it felt lovely and it soaked in well. I love that it smells like the ingredients, I get really disappointed when skincare products have perfume in them.”
-
“I really like how the moisturiser is creamy and viscous but doesn't feel so thick that it clog my pores. A little goes quite a long way, and it doesn't leave a sticky feeling afterwards.”

The Use of Silk in Skincare
Seresilk founder, Taylor Battistella, first started rearing silkworms as a primary school student and quickly started his first business supplying customers over the country.
Building an Australian Silk Industry
At Seresilk, our goal is to help you achieve silky smooth skin with the power of silk-infused skincare products. We firmly believe in the therapeutic benefits of silk in skincare and want to create an ethical silk industry in Australia.
Australia's natural environment provides the perfect conditions to rear silk of the highest quality anywhere in the world and are taking steps to promote the benefits of silk. With such ambitious goals, you can't blame us for being impatient! To help enact powerful change TODAY, we have partnered with three amazing Australian charities.
Good Shepherd, Children's Ground and Greening Australia are three organisations that share our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
Together, we can work towards a brighter, silk-filled future.
Cruelty-Free Australian Silk
Seresilk is a brand that embraces ahimsa principles; respect for all living things.
While traditional silk production methods have been criticised for harming silkworms, Seresilk products are made with consideration to animal welfare. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of silk without supporting cruel practices.
The beauty of Seresilk, is that we allow all of our silk-moths to emerge naturally and continue their life cycle peacefully. This is thanks to the company's synergies with founder, Battistella's first ever business, Everything Silkworms; where we collect the silk after the silk moths emerge from their cocoons.
