The warmth of the obsidian encourages stimulation of the lymphatic system and circulation. This energizing of the skin reduces toxins and promotes clearer, brighter skin. To warm our Black Obsidian tools, we recommend placing them in a glass of warm water.

Our stainless steel, in particular, is made of high quality stainless steel for deeper cleaning and disinfecting. Not only is it cooling to the touch, thanks to its unique ability to conduct heat, stainless steel is also less prone to breakage and resilient to drops for any situation.
