A satin pillowcase is a great vegan alternative to silk offering some fantastic skincare and haircare benefits over a cotton pillowcase for example:

Smooth like silk, if not as soft, satin aids in preventing tangles and breakage. Although manufactured from other materials, namely polyester, satin continues to reduce hair frizz and skin irritation. Satin can aid in reducing facial folds and wrinkles, clear complexion,keeps the hair shiny and in place, prevent hair loss and protects brows and lashes.

Silk is the strongest natural fibre and contains natural protein and 18 essential amino acids. Silk also contains natural cellular albumen which speeds up the metabolism of skin cells. Due to this pillowcase provide  superior benefits for your hair and skin. They help to regulate temperature, and are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Silk is a natural fabric and is breathable which helps reduce sweating; silk does not draw moisture from your skin and hair, instead engaging a proper moisture balance. Silk is gentle on sensitive skin, and is naturally hypoallergenic repelling dust mites and is a natural fungal repellant. Silk pillowcases effectively help to reduce frizz and hair breakages and to keep your skin looking its best. Soft to the touch, silk reduces friction and prevents tangles and breakage. 

We advocate bamboo as a fabric option for your pillowcase. Vegan and eco-friendly, due to the ease of growth bamboo fibre is a sustainable option. Like silk bamboo is hypoallergenic and breathable; preventing dust mites and decreasing risk of allergies and irritation. Bamboo fabric contains the ferment bamboo kun, which provides a role in controlling the growth of bacteria. This antibacterial function of a bamboo pillow case can benefit those with skin sensitives or acne as the ferment prevents pathogenic microflora from growing on the skin. Being breathable, the bamboo pillowcase will be cool during warm days, and warmer on cold days. Unlike the sleek feel of satin and silk, bamboo pillowcases are smooth and super soft continuing to bring benefits to your curls at night.
