At Le Cocon Blanc, we make it a point of honor to create products that respect the skin, nature, and living things.

Cruelty-free silk, a unique commitment

The Bombyx mori, also known as the silkworm, is a butterfly that has been domesticated for thousands of years for its precious fiber. Traditionally, in sericulture, the cocoons are scalded with the live chrysalis inside to extract a continuous thread of silk. In our industry, the approach is completely different: we let the chrysalises hatch naturally . Once out of their cocoon, the butterflies are separated to regulate their reproduction and peacefully complete their life cycle. It is only after they have hatched that we collect the cocoons, thus preserving the integrity of the living while benefiting from the incredible properties of silk for the skin.

But silk cannot exist without its essential plant companion: the mulberry tree . Our silkworms are fed exclusively on mulberry leaves grown organically by our producer in the Cévennes. These plots are cultivated without pesticides or chemical inputs, guaranteeing a healthy diet for the worms and silk production free from harmful residues.
