Skin care today has captured the attention of millions of women.....and men....world-wide.  

By combining silk protein and indigenous African flora extracts SilkSa has created a revolutionary skin health range and is at the leading edge of natural, hypoallergenic cosmetics for the now generation.

Silk has been the most treasured natural fiber since it was discovered in China in 2700 BC.  It is virtually indestructible... and is the strongest natural fiber known. The material has been found in archaeological sites in China going back 4000 years.

Legend has it that an Empress of the Tsang Dynasty, China's most enlightened age, observed young ladies processing silk cocoons. The Empress examined the ladies' hands and found that they were as "smooth and soft as silk." This miraculous discovery brought silk cream for the skin to the Tsang Dynasty Court over 1,000 years ago. Throughout that millennium the secret of silk cream spread to the wives and concubines of the provincial administrators.

Now, it is yours.
