No piece is ever tried on, sent back and sent out again, so the one that reaches you has never been in anyone else's hair. That's why we can't take returns.

Skin-friendly mulberry silk charmeuse. The same silk we had tested by a Govt. of India lab. The report
1
One scrunchie, not a pack. On purpose. Why just one
Gathered by hand, by rural women artisans in India.
A thin line of mulberry silk charmeuse for braid ends, low ponies and wrists. Light enough to forget, until someone asks where it's from. for the braid you redo on the bus
Its mood
Little By Little
Candy Dot is the thin one in the Essentials: one skinny scrunchie of 100% mulberry silk charmeuse, gathered by hand onto a soft elastic.
- One scrunchie in the pouch, not a pack
- Colours: Antique White and Hot Pink
- For braid ends, low ponies, half-ups, fine hair and wrists. Loop it two or three times.
- Silk slides instead of gripping, so it comes out without a tug
- Made by hand in small batches, so the gathers sit a little differently from piece to piece
Fabric
100% mulberry silk charmeuse: the satin weave, in real silk. A natural protein fibre, glossy on one face, matte on the other
Tested by
Regional Laboratory, Textiles Committee — Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, Kolkata · September 2026
Results
Banned azo dyes: not detected (all 24 amines under 30 mg/kg) · Formaldehyde: not detectable · pH 7.31 · Colour-fastness to sweat: 5 of 5 · to rubbing: 5 dry, 4–5 wet
The small print
The lab tested a sample of this silk in Wildpetal's colour. Candy Dot is cut from the same silk; Antique White and Hot Pink are other colours, so the dye results speak for the colour tested. Reports TC/ST/CEO/282/2026-27 and TC/LC/ST/1008/2026-27, dated 21 September 2026, are on our Lab reports page.
Elastic
Soft elastic · replaced free within 180 days of shipping. See your days left
Silk likes to be treated like hair, because it nearly is.
- Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap — no soaking, no wringing
- Press the water out in a towel
- Dry flat, in the shade — sun fades silk
- No bleach, no tumble dryer
- If it looks sleepy, a little steam wakes it up
Free shipping across India on orders over ₹499. Once it leaves us: about 2 working days to the big metros, 4 working days to most other cities, and 6 working days everywhere else in India.
Outside India, 4–5 working days, tracked. Delivery is free over $50 in the US, £45 in the UK, €50 in Europe and US$50 elsewhere; below that it's $20, £16, €18 or US$20. If your country charges import duty, it's collected on delivery, not by us.
Each piece travels in a paper Moosi pouch. Keep it, gift it, regift it; the pouch doesn't mind.
A small honest note — because each scrunchie touches your hair and skin, we can't accept returns or exchanges, worn or unworn. Hair things are personal, and re-circulating them isn't fair to the next Creature.
Please pick mindfully. If your piece arrives damaged in transit, write to us at moosi.care@gmail.com within 48 hours, with a short video of the damage (preferred) or a few clear photos, and we'll send a fresh one.
The everyday benefits
A little luxury, every day.
Thoughtful fabric, a shape that suits your routine, and care beyond the first wear.
-
How it worksHolds without the tug
Wide, soft gathers spread the hold, so your hair stays put without the tight squeeze of a thin band. Dermatologists warn that styles pulled tight, day after day, strain hair at the roots.
-
Feel itSlides out, doesn't snag
Silk is one long, smooth filament, so at the end of the day it slides out of your hair instead of catching on the way. Slip it over your wrist first and feel the difference.
-
How it worksFewer flyaways than polyester
Hair and silk sit close together on the static scale; polyester sits far away. That’s why a polyester “satin” tie can leave a dry-day ponytail full of flyaways, and silk mostly doesn’t.
-
Lab-testedKind to skin, and tested
A Government of India lab tested a sample of this silk: no banned azo dyes, no detectable formaldehyde and a near-neutral pH of 7.31. It sits on your wrist all day, so we checked.
See the results -
Look closerA soft, natural sheen
Each silk fibre is a rounded triangle that bends light softly instead of bouncing it straight back. So even a hairstyle done in a hurry looks finished.
What we don’t claim: that silk stops hair fall, mends damaged hair or suits every skin. We’d rather show you only what we can back up.
Up close
What you’re holding.
- 100% mulberry silk charmeuse22 momme. Glossy on the outside, matte on the inside.
- Gathered by handSo the folds fall a little differently on every one.
- A soft elastic insideWrapped all the way round in silk, so only silk touches your hair.
- About 7 cm acrossLying flat, edge to edge.
Momme (mm) is how silk fabric is weighed, not its thickness in millimetres.
Why just one
Yes, it's one. On purpose.
Skinny scrunchies usually come by the bagful: a dozen or more in polyester “satin”, for less than one Candy Dot costs. We know. Candy Dot is one piece of real mulberry silk, gathered by hand. It isn't a smaller pack. It's a different thing that happens to be the same shape.

The silk
Mulberry silk charmeuse. Skin-friendly, and lab-tested.
Candy Dot is cut from the same mulberry silk charmeuse as Wildpetal. We sent that silk to the Textiles Committee's laboratory, Govt. of India, and had it tested for what matters to skin.
Satin is a weave, not a material, and most satin scrunchies are polyester. Ours is charmeuse, the satin weave in real mulberry silk: glossy on one face, matte on the other. Silk is a protein fibre, like your hair, so it slides instead of gripping. Sleep in it, if you like.
Lab report · Sep 2026
Skin-friendly. Here's the lab report behind it.
Regional Laboratory, Textiles Committee — Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, Kolkata. Tested 11–21 September 2026.
- Banned azo dyesNone found. All 24 banned amines the lab checks for came back under the 30 mg/kg limit.Not detected
- FormaldehydeNone the test could detect.Not detectable
- pHClose to neutral; 7 is neutral.7.31
- Colour and sweatNo fading, and no colour running onto silk or cotton, in acidic or alkaline sweat.5 of 5
- Colour and rubbingRubbed against white cotton: nothing dry, at most a faint trace wet.5 dry · 4–5 wet
What it adds up to: nothing harmful found, a near-neutral pH, and colour that stays in the silk. That's why we call it skin-friendly.
Grades run from 1 to 5, and 5 is the best a fabric can score. The lab tested a sample of this silk in Wildpetal's colour. Antique White and Hot Pink are the same silk in other colours, so the dye results speak for the colour tested. Reports TC/ST/CEO/282/2026-27 and TC/LC/ST/1008/2026-27, both dated 21 September 2026. Read both reports, and what each result means.
Which size
Two sizes. Same silk.
Candy Pop and Candy Dot are cut from the same silk, in the same two colours. Only the size changes, and with it, what each one is good at.
Candy Pop big & puffy
Big and puffy. For buns, high and low ponytails, thick or curly hair, and days you want it seen. One loop for thick hair, two for fine.

Asked in the forest
The things people actually ask.
Short answers, true ones. If yours isn't here, write to us.
Why is it just one? Others sell packs.
Because it's a different thing. Most packs are polyester “satin”, made on a line by the dozen. Candy Dot is one piece of 100% mulberry satin silk, gathered by hand, cut from the same silk we had lab-tested. One you keep, rather than a bagful you lose.
Is it really silk?
Yes — 100% mulberry silk charmeuse. Charmeuse is a satin weave: glossy on one face, matte on the other. Satin is a weave, not a material, and most satin scrunchies are polyester. Ours is spun by silkworms.
Is it skin-friendly? Has the silk been lab-tested?
Yes. The silk was tested in September 2026 by the Regional Laboratory of the Textiles Committee in Kolkata, part of the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India. No banned azo dyes were found, formaldehyde was not detectable, the pH was 7.31 (close to neutral), and the colour held against sweat (5 of 5) and rubbing (5 dry, 4–5 wet). That's why we call it skin-friendly.
Two honest notes: it's a lab test of the fabric, not a test on skin, and the sample was the silk in Wildpetal's colour. Candy Dot is cut from the same silk; Antique White and Hot Pink are other colours, so the dye results speak for the colour tested. Both reports are on our Lab reports page.
Candy Dot or Candy Pop: which one is mine?
Candy Dot is the thin one: braid ends, low ponies, fine hair and wrists. Loop it two or three times. Candy Pop is the big, puffy one: buns, high ponies, thick or curly hair. Same silk, same two colours. Plenty of Creatures keep one of each.
What happens when the elastic gets tired?
Within 180 days of the day we ship your Candy Dot, we replace the elastic for free. Write to us first, post your Candy Dot to us (you cover the way there), and we fit a new elastic and post it home, return shipping on us. About a week, door to door.
You can see how many days are left on each piece any time: sign in with the email you ordered with and open My elastic promise. The promise in full.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap — no soaking, no wringing. Press the water out in a towel and dry it flat in the shade; sun fades silk.
How long will it take to reach me?
Once it leaves us: about 2 working days to the big metros, 4 to most other cities, 6 everywhere else in India, and 4–5 working days outside India. You can check your own pincode on this page.
Shipping is free across India on orders over ₹499, and it travels in a paper Moosi pouch.
Do you ship outside India?
Yes. We ship to 28 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, Japan and much of Europe. Delivery is tracked and takes 4–5 working days.
It's free on orders over $50 in the US, £45 in the UK, €50 in Europe and US$50 everywhere else; below that, it's $20, £16, €18 or US$20. Prices show in your currency, and checkout charges the same amount in Indian rupees (your bank converts it). If your country charges import duty, it's collected on delivery, not by us.
Can I return or exchange it?
No, and here's the honest reason: it's something that lives in your hair, and passing it on to the next Creature isn't fair to her. So please pick mindfully.
If yours arrives damaged, write to us at moosi.care@gmail.com within 48 hours of delivery, with a short video of the damage (preferred) or a few clear photos, and we'll send a fresh one.
Are the reviews on this page real?
Yes. Every review here comes from someone who bought this piece, and we copy them word for word. To write one on this site you sign in with the email you ordered with, and we read each one before it goes up. We don't hide the lukewarm ones.
