Clinical tests have shown the silver-ion infused pillowcases help to:

• Prevent clogging of pores and the formation of pimples
• Reduce skin irritation
• Reduce the formation of blackheads

For pillowcases, we are using only the highest 6A grading 22 Momme organic Mulberry Silk, which is produced by mulberry silk moths. This means that pillowcases contain 100% silk. For duvet covers and sheets, we use both 65% organic silk and 35% cotton.

The organic silk we use is rich in sericin. Sericin is rich in proline, that reactivates the production of collagen fibers and restructures them in skin to increase skin elasticity. All material is treated with anti-bacterial silver ions, reducing most common acne-causing bacteria by 99.7%.

Correct consistency of embedded silver ions work based on their natural anti-bacterial properties that eliminate three primary types of bacteria: Cutibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative folliculitis).

All of these bacteria have been linked to acne vulgaris, which is the main cause of outbreaks, pimples, skin inflamation and clogged pores. [1] [2] [3]

Yes, of-course. All the tests around antibacterial properties have been rigorously tested by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance), one of the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification companies in Switzerland.

Thus, based on the tests made by SGS, we can also say that the material is hypoallergenic and suits for people with sensitive skin.

Our material has been tested for safety and efficacy by SGS in Switzerland, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, as well as in Estonia by Tallinn University of Technology, Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology.

Return Policy

We believe that skincare and sleep products are deeply personal. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety for all our customers, we offer a 14-day return option for eligible purchases. However, please note that Aino products are classified as hygiene-sensitive products, and specific exceptions apply under Estonian law and guidelines from the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA).

Hygiene-Sensitive Products

According to Võlaõigusseadus § 53 lg 4 p 4 and clarified by the TTJA, certain items are unsuitable for return due to health and hygiene reasons. These include products that:

• Come into direct contact with the skin or body.
• Cannot be guaranteed to be safe for reuse or resale after opening.

Examples provided by TTJA include opened cosmetics (e.g., creams, lipsticks, mascaras) and clothing like underwear or swimwear once the hygiene seal is removed. Similarly, bedding and pillowcases fall into this category if they:

• Are marketed as hygienic products, such as antibacterial or therapeutic items (e.g., Aino antibacterial silk pillowcases with silver ions).
• Have direct and prolonged contact with the skin, such as pillowcases or sheets.
• Pose hygiene risks if returned after use or opening.

For these reasons, opened or used pillowcases cannot be returned.

There is enough silver ion treatment embedded in the material that should last at least 12 months, which means about 30 washing cycles, after which there will be a gradual decline in the antimicrobial properties.

All the information around washing the material is included inside the bedding, on the care label. However the main advice is not to dry clean the silk bedding and wash it with 30 degrees celsius. We recommend using the mesh laundry bag for your pillowcase. For the long-lasting results, hand-washing your pillowcase would be the best option. Also don’t use laundry detergent which contains bleach.
