The Magic of Silk

Nearly five thousand years ago, a Chinese woman, Lei Zu, studied the silk worm at work. Her powers of observation led her to take the thread-like filaments from silk cocoons and weave the first silk cloth. Even earlier, silk cocoons were used in folk medicine to dress wounds and care for the skin.

Silk caterpillars spend the first stage of their lives feeding on mulberry leaves. Then some inner instinct sets the earthbound worm to spinning an enclosure to hide and protect itself. Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner referred to the silk from these cocoons as 'spun light'. There, craddled in warmth and sheltered against outside influences, the lowly worm transforms and emerges from darkness as a creature of air and light.

It is unlikely to find another material so close in composition to human skin. The amino acids in silk proteins are nearly the same as those found in skin proteins. Silk balances pH and has a gentle antibacterial quality especially beneficial to delicate tissue of lips and eyes. (Reference: Dr. Hauschka "Complete Guide to Holistic Skin Care", 2004)
