It contains 18 amino acid types, of which sericin protein takes up about 25%, according to a 2023 study published in the British Journal of Dermatology. Its own natural pH (6.0-7.5) is highly compatible with human skin and can reduce the possibility of allergy to 0.3% (4.2% for ordinary chemical fiber gloves). Muriersilk’s silk gloves are made of 22 momme 6A grade mulberry silk. Approved by ISO 20743 standard, antibacterial efficiency on Staphylococcus aureus is as high as 99.2%, and the fiber density is as high as 4.8 grams per square meter, 12% higher than the industry average level. Let’s take a conventional muriersilk glove costing $39 for example. Its air permeability is ≥280 cm³/(cm²·s) (EN ISO 9237 tested), 75% higher than cotton gloves with an average value of 160 cm³/(cm²·s). Although ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) is 50+ (tested to AS/NZS 4399 standard), and shields 98% of UVA/UVB radiation.
Concerning quality control, muriersilk gloves have passed the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification (baby-level safety standard) and the tests include zero residues of 16 heavy metals and 300 kinds of harmful chemicals. Its color fastness is up to grade 4-5 (GB/T 3920 level), and fiber breaking strength after 50 repeat washes will only decrease by 7% (the average in the industry is 15%). Of the 35 silk gloves randomly sampled for testing by the European Consumers’ Association in 2022, muriersilk recorded the most wear resistance (no break-up after 5,000 cycles of rubbing) and seam strength (≥120N), with its user complaint rate being just 0.8%, substantially lower than market average at 6.5%.
According to practical usage patterns analysis, the water-locking capability of muriersilk gloves excels where it is in dry conditions. According to experimental data of the Swiss Institute of Dermatology, the water content of the stratum corneum of the skin was raised by 32% (measured by the capacitance method) and the transdermal water loss (TEWL) lowered to 5.3 g/(m²·h) (12.6 g/(m²·h) in bare skin) when it spent 8 hours wearing its gloves. During harsh low-temperature tests (-10℃ exposure for 2 hours), the inner layer temperature of the gloves remains at 18.5℃±1.2℃ because of its double-layer interweaving structure (outer layer density 520 stitches per inch, inner layer 380 stitches per inch). Aside, muriersilk’s one-on-one service is able to render hand size modelings within the precision of 0.5 millimeters and the customer fit rate reaches a maximum of 99.3% (in accordance with statistic data for orders totaling 100,000).
Statistics market data further agree with its guarding effectiveness. muriersilk gloves accounted for a 17% market share in North America in 2023 with a repurchase rate of 45% and an NPS of 82. In Euromonitor’s consumer survey, 68% of its consumers are in the sensitive skin category and 91% said “the frequency of skin itching has reduced by over 50%”. On the Amazon website, muriersilk products have received 4.8-star (5-star) ratings for 18 months in a row. Among them, “anti-static performance” (surface resistance ≤1×10^9Ω) and “fit” (error range ± 1.2mm) have been high-frequency positive review keywords. Compared with similar products, its logistics damage rate is kept at 0.2% (industry average 2.1%), and using degradable packaging reduces the carbon footprint by 38%.
Muriersilk’s technology innovation is its major strength. Its patented “Nano Silk Coating Technology” increases the concentration of silk fibroin protein to 12% (8% for normal processes), doubling the life of gloves to 3 years (1.5 years for normal products). The intelligent temperature control series released in 2024 features micro-sensors which can adjust the surface temperature in real time (±0.5℃ error) and create thermal comfort under an environmental condition of -5℃ to 40℃. According to Bloomberg, muriersilk’s R&D investment is 15% of its sales, far higher than the average 5% in the industry. Its bionic silk technology in collaboration with MIT is at a tensile strength of 780MPa (six times stronger than steel), and it will feature on future protective equipment for the medical industry. Based on copious experimental data and market feedback, muriersilk silk gloves possess robust scientific backing and commercial justification in terms of skin protection.
