A Cruelty Free Approach To Silk Skincare.
Silk is a remarkable natural fibre that is both strong and luxurious. However, traditional silk production methods are cruel and harmful to silkworms.
Seresilk collects its silk as a by-product of ethically reared Australian silkworms. This synergy is possible thanks to the company's partnership with Everything Silkworms, which sells silkworm eggs and other related products for educational and retail purposes.
This ‘waste silk’ then undergoes a process called hydrolysis, which breaks down the silk fibres into a liquid form called “hydrolysed silk”. This process allows the silk to be used across products without causing any harm to silkworms.
The resulting hydrolysed silk is the hero of Seresilk skincare formulations, with moisturising and rejuvenating properties that leaves skin soft, hydrated and revitalised.
Transparency In The Silk Industry
Seresilk is shifting the narrative of the silk industry, working towards building a cleaner industry through responsible sourcing and sustainable practices.
Ideally the entire Seresilk range would use locally sourced silk, although unfortunately this is not possible yet. It is important to be transparent about the fact that the Pure Silk Exfoliators are currently sourced from a trusted and ethical supplier in Veneto, Italy.
Seresilk offers an exciting opportunity to support local economies as more businesses embrace “ahimsa” - a non-violent, cruelty-free method of harvesting silk.
