The magic of acne-preventing silver technology pillows now available for vegans.
Silvi have developed a Bamboo lyocell pillowcase and packed it full of the same anti-acne silver technology that’s in the amazing silk pillowcase. Good for the environment: bamboo uses 98% less water during the production process than cotton or silk, plus no chemicals or animals are used either. It’s a world first for a plant-based silk (and it does feel like silk) pillowcase treated with natural silver, clinically proven to eliminate 99.7% of acne-causing bacteria. The same Silvi pillowcase you already fell in love with, now vegan and more sustainable.
On another, yet related, note you may have seen videos on social showing the bacteria on a normal, non-silvi pillow, and then the bacteria (or lack thereof) on a Silvi pillow. The Silvi silk and Silvi bamboo silk pillowcases repel bacteria so your face is spared a nightly battle with the previous weeks’ worth of gunk its collected from your face. NICE. Do your face a favour.
