Silk During and After Cancer Treatment
A Gentle and Natural Choice

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery can make the skin extra sensitive, irritated, and dry. Many patients also experience hot flashes, temperature fluctuations, and general discomfort, making it essential to choose textiles that are as gentle and comfortable as possible. This is where silk truly stands out.

 

Why Choose Silk?

1. Exceptionally Soft and Smooth
Silk is one of the softest natural fibers and glides effortlessly over the skin without causing irritation. For sensitive or damaged skin – such as from radiation or post-surgery – this is crucial.

2. Hypoallergenic and Natural
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites and bacteria, making it ideal for individuals with weakened immune systems or reactive skin.

3. Thermoregulating
During cancer treatments, the body often experiences temperature shifts. Silk helps regulate body temperature – keeping you cool when it's warm and warm when it's cold.

4. Breathable and Moisture-Wicking
Silk fibers allow the skin to breathe and wick moisture away from the body, reducing the risk of skin irritation and helping promote restful sleep.

5. A Touch of Everyday Luxury
During difficult times, small moments of comfort matter. Silk brings a sense of luxury and self-care that can positively affect well-being.
