🎉So excited to share with you my new discovery!!
🙋‍♀️Do you know that responsible and eco-friendly, cruelty-free Silk exists?
🦋There is a process that creates beautiful organic silk without animal sacrifice. It is called Organic Peace Silk!
💚Also known as non-violent, cruelty-free, or Ahimsa silk. Peace Silk means the breeding and harvesting of silk is done according to the principle of AHIMSA (Sanskrit: non-violence/cruelty-free) and manufactured under the most stringent social and natural conditions.
🔎Here is the difference:
Organic Peace Silk allows the completion of the silkworm's metamorphosis to the moth stage, whereas most conventional silk manufacturing methods involve boiling the cocoons while the silkworm is still inside.
🦋Once the butterflies have left their cocoons, the cocoons are processed without the use of harmful chemicals and the fibers are spun using solar-powered machinery. This particular method can slow production, but it is fundamental to their philosophy and ethics.
🌎Plus Organic peace silk production is designed to sustain the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. Just like organic cotton:
🌳The trees which provide the feed for the silkworms to grow are not treated with fungicides, insecticides, or genetic sprays; this has a positive impact on the size of the cocoon and the quality of the silk thread, it also significantly reduces water pollution that results from conventional silk production practices. It also promotes better and healthier working conditions for the farmers too!👏
✅What is even better is that this silk is GOTS certified organic: farmed sustainably and produced free from harmful chemicals and dyes. It includes zero-carbon production and 75% less water consumption than conventional silk too, making them a more sustainable, friendly, and healthier choice.
💚This organic silk is harmless, responsible, and eco-friendly. Now there is no reason to buy conventional silk!
🦋I am listing on my blog brands that embrace this approach!
