South Africa, GP. November 2015 – South African cosmetics manufacturer Euphrates Cosmetics is proud to unveil Euphrates Besties, a user-generated content-driven campaign created to celebrate the brand’s natural skin care collection, featuring two South African inspirational popular faces. As a local Cosmetics Manufacturer, that also exports our products around the continent, it is important that when the brand decided to have brand ambassadors to represent some of our products, that we chose individuals who have used the products and who are from South Africa.

Aurelia Nxumalo and Jo-anne Reyneke were the most fitting candidates. There is something about these ladies that makes people want to engage with them. That was the secret ingredient we needed for this partnership to be a success.  The Euphrates South Africa family looks forward to a beautiful relationship with them.

We strongly believe in giving women a pen to write their success story and use the social media space to positively engage with our target market.  We are convinced that with our new Euphrates besties / brand ambassadors (Aurelia Nxumalo and Jo-anne Reyneke) we will be able to beautifully impact more South African women.

The Benefits Of Sleeping On Silk

THE SILK LADY – 100% ORGANIC SILK PILLOWCASE


Silk is a gift of nature, the ideal skin-care product.  By sleeping on 100% organic SilkLady pillowcases, your skin benefits while you sleep and you delay the aging process through a natural and healthy way.

Silklady pillowcases are naturally hypoallergenic. Since silk is a high molecular form of protein, it has a strong affinity for bio-organisms, and has the unusual characteristic of preventing the growth of micro organisms and bacteria. The closely woven nature of silk makes it inhospitable for dust mites – properties that have proven to ease conditions such as eczema and asthma. Silk is fungi immune and does not contain harmful trace chemicals and therefore is resistant to mold and deterioration.

Babies and young children spend much of their time asleep. The fabric they sleep on plays an important role in their health and happiness.  Since silk is hypoallergenic, by letting your baby sleep on a silk pillowcase, you prevent her from breathing in allergens such as dust mites and their secretions.

Silk Benefits
•      prevents facial skin from creasing
•      maintains hydration
•      keeps your skin-care product on your skin
•      eliminates sleep wrinkles
•      prevents hair from frizzing and split ends
•      reduces the loss of natural hair oils and moisture
•      minimizes damage to thinning of hair
•      naturally hypoallergenic
•      repels dust-mites


Silk is a gift of nature, the ideal skin-care product
By sleeping on 100% organic SilkLady pillowcases, your skin benefits while you sleep and you delay the aging process through a natural and healthy way. Silk has very similar properties to human skin – it contains a natural protein that contributes to skin health by speeding metabolism of skin cells, decreasing aging of facial skin, as well as calming the nervous system.
It’s at night time when your skin repairs itself. Silk pillowcases help to keep your skin-care products on your skin and give your skin the best chance of hydration through the night. Silk reduces the loss of natural hair oils and moisture. After sleeping on 100% organic SilkLady pillowcases you wake up with glossy hair and younger-looking skin that is hydrated and free of creases.
SilkLady pillowcases are not only the softest pillowcases you ever touch, but they also provide the best organic skin-care and anti-aging solution!

The silk used in SilkLady pillowcases comes from the moth Bombyx Mori, which produces the finest and purest silk.  It is fed only chopped mulberry leaves and lives in an area free of pollution for 3 kilometers.  Our silk is strictly chemical-free, from the raw material, through the entire production process.


All SilkLady pillowcases are finished off with traditional French seams, sewn by our professional seamstress to ensure that they do not fray.
