Our Story: From Guilt to Groundbreaking

The Birth of Silqify & Butter Silk

I still remember the night I Googled:

"How is mulberry silk made?"

That simple search changed everything.

Like most girls, I bought my first silk pillowcase thinking it was good for my hair and skin. What no one told me was the real cost behind that glossy fabric.
Thousands of silkworms are boiled alive just so their cocoons stay intact for silk threads.
That’s how mulberry silk is made — and it broke my heart.

I couldn’t sleep on it again.
Not because of the fabric, but because of the cruelty woven into every strand.

So I started asking questions no brand seemed to be answering:
Why isn’t there a cruelty-free silk alternative?
Why is “luxury” always tied to guilt, waste, and exclusion?
Why should something soft and beautiful ever come from harm?

🔬 The Journey to Butter Silk

That’s where Silqify began — not in a lab or a boardroom, but in a bedroom, by a girl who wanted something better.

The truth? It wasn’t easy. We tested over 24 fabric blends across 9 months, searching for the perfect silk alternative — one that felt buttery soft, stayed cool at night, and offered all the hair and skin benefits of silk — without hurting a soul.

We worked with fabric engineers, dermatologists, textile scientists, and hundreds of everyday women. Every version of Butter Silk was slept on, washed, pulled, stretched, and reworked again.

We refused to launch until it felt just right.

And finally, it happened.
A plant-based, cruelty-free, non-bacterial silk alternative that was:

  • Softer than mulberry silk

  • More durable and machine-washable

  • Twice as beneficial for skin and hair

  • Three times more affordable

  • And absolutely guilt-free

💫 Why Silqify Exists

We didn’t just want to sell pillowcases.
We wanted to challenge the silk industry, redefine what “luxury” means, and make ethical self-care something every girl can afford.

Because real beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of life.
Real luxury doesn’t need cruelty.
And real sleep? It starts with peace of mind.

💌 Today, Thousands Are Sleeping Better

Butter Silk by Silqify is now loved by thousands of women across the world — from skincare lovers to conscious shoppers, and anyone tired of overpriced, overhyped, animal-based silk.

We’re not here to be the next big trend.
We’re here to lead a quiet revolution in your bedroom —
One pillowcase at a time.
