Silk is one of the most wonderful beautiful natural materials ever cultivated.  It is originally believed to have been produced as material as early as 3500 BC.  It has always been considered a luxury item worn by aristocracy all over the world.  Silk is the only fabric which can cool you because of its light weight and warm you because of its dense weave.  Additionally it is very durable and washable.  Silk is used not only in clothing, but a variety of home furnishings like rugs, sheets, lamp shades etc…  It is also used in cosmetics and moisturizers because it is fluid protein strands.

Silk however has a very humble beginning.  Caterpillars and mulberry silk worms weave filaments of silk as a cocoon to support their own growth.  The cocoon is described as a dries onion because of its sheen.  This protective barrier cultivated and harvested during this time.

These silk filaments also known as silk protien also have many benefits for our own skin.  When mixed with other moisturizing ingredients such as aloe and rose distillate, the silk protien create a protective barrier.  www.sheergoddess.com offers a moisturizer Phaedra’s Tea Rose Luxurious Body Soothing Lotion, with all of these ingredients that last 24 hours. 

If you are planning on traveling this holiday season, stock up, those airplanes are dry.  If you need a great, thoughtful gift that smells wonderful, definitely consider this.  For under 16.00 you can bring a smile to everyone you know.
