How to use Maysan silk cocoons
-
Soak
Start by soaking the silk cocoon in boiled water for a few minutes. This softens the cocoon and helps silk components to be released to the surface of the cocoon, making it ready for use.
-
Cleanse
Gently cleanse your face, as usual, to remove makeup and dirt. It's best to use a mild, sulfate-free cleanser.
-
Massage
Slip the softened silk cocoon onto your fingertip like a thimble and with a gentle circular motion, exfoliate your face. Pay extra attention to areas with rough or dry skin.
-
Dry
After exfoliation dry your face gently with a towel. Ideally, wait for a few minutes so that your skin absorbs all nutrients.
-
Moisturize
Finish your skincare routine by applying your preferred moisturizer or serum. Your skin will absorb these products more effectively after exfoliation with Maysan silk cocoons.

Care and Storage
Store in a dry place and dispose the silk cocoons after each use as they have absorbed dead skin cells and dirt. They are 100% biodegradable and compostable so they don’t burden our planet.

I am Sofia
I have always been a strong believer on Nature's healing powers and I try to incorporate natural solutions in every aspect of my life. Becoming a mom made me reconsider what products I’m using on my body and I was trying to find more natural alternatives to eliminate the use of chemicals. Research led me to an ancient Asian secret, silk cocoons, a 100% natural product which is precious for our skin, having many benefits.
An ode to the Arabian desert
When I moved to Dubai from Greece a few years back, I was fascinated by the sandy, earth color palette from the desert and the golden reflections on the sand and on the windows during sunset. It then occurred to me, that everyone deserves to glow, like a star. Maysan in Arabic means bright star and this is how my bright star was born.
I wanted to point women towards the direction of natural and organic skincare, like the bright stars that helped the traders navigate when following the Silk Route. The earthy beige of the brand represents the peaceful desert of the Middle East, which blends with the all-time classic feminine crimson.
