About Kimono Silk and Scallop Shells
Japanese women have always used scraps of silk left over from the sewing kimonos to buff and polish skin.
Natural silk is one of the strongest yet smoothest fibers. It mostly consists of proteins called sericin and fibroin, which closely match the chemical structure of human skin.
Scallop shell powder is made from discarded shells of scallops. It is a natural disinfectant which has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
