Eureka moment: hello, silk!

We hit the books (thank goodness for college libraries) and investigated what could possibly be causing my skin nightmares. After speaking with a doctor, our lightbulb moment was that our sleeping environment could be the culprit, especially our not-so-skin-friendly bedding. Silk popped up as the superhero fabric for sensitive skin, but the price tags made our student wallets weep.

Taking the leap with SmilySilk

Instead of saving up for a well-deserved vacation to our homeland, we invested every penny into finding the perfect silk—one that wouldn’t bankrupt us while caring for my skin and hair. We wanted the good stuff: 100% Mulberry silk 6A momme, the highest grade, that felt like a dream and was sourced ethically. That's how SmilySilk, our silk brand, was born.

Silk that changed the game

Switching to silk was life-changing. My skin began to calm down, with only minimal acne, and the improvement was unbelievable. My hair was so much healthier too, with no more split ends or that dreaded morning frizz. I was using fewer hair products, reducing chemical overload, and both of us noticed a HUGE improvement in our sleep quality. Frank fell for silk’s cool touch and I got my smile back.

Your invitation to the silky side

We started SmilySilk to share this little slice of luxury without the high costs. So, if you’ve ever tossed and turned at night worrying about your skin or cursed your pillowcase for another bad hair day, we’ve been there. Let’s make those worries a thing of the past.

Join us on this silky journey, and let’s bring those smiles back!

How Smily Silk began

Smily Silk is the vision of two young Cubans students in the USA who were tired of waking up to bad skin and frizzy hair, and wanted to live the silk sheet dream instead.

When they realized that all the silk bedding on the market was out of their price range, they set out on a mission to scour the globe for premium yet affordable, 100% mulberry silk. And once they found it, they decided to share their discovery with everyone else.

So they got busy designing achingly smooth silk bedding, scrunchies, bandanas, beauty bonnets, and sleep masks for anyone who needed them. Their goal is to help people enjoy more beautiful skin and hair—and better sleep—one silken thread at a time.
