Hair bar

Made from French green clay, which acts like a sponge to absorb oils, toxins and impurities from your scalp, this shampooing and conditioning bar is perfect for using in the bath—you’ve earned a bath! Made with matcha green tea, it claims to stimulate the scalp and bring fresh blood to damaged skin cells thus promoting growth and overall hair health.

Facial roller

Skip all the anti-wrinkle products and get yourself a jade roller. This dual-action facial roller features a smooth, polished end and a textured, studded end crafted from Xiuyan Jade. Use this while binging on Netflix to roll away fine lines and wrinkles while naturally cooling the skin, easing muscle tension and reducing the appearance of puffiness and under-eye bags.

When it comes to picking a deodorant that doesn’t make you stinky (but also doesn’t contain a boat load of chemicals), the struggle is real.
