Traditional Chinese Medicine influences run deep in WTHN's approach to their rose quartz eye mask. The naturally cooling stone provides gentle pressure around the eyes and temples – a technique that draws from centuries-old practices for relieving tension and promoting circulation.
We're intrigued by WTHN's background in clinical practice. Their New York City acupuncture clinics inform their product development, suggesting a deeper understanding of holistic healing principles. While many wellness brands simply appropriate Eastern practices, WTHN's foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine adds credibility to their interpretation of these ancient techniques for contemporary use.

The YINA Bath Ritual elevates the humble bath into something more meaningful through its thoughtful incorporation of Japanese Mugwort. This aromatic herb has historically been used in Eastern wellness traditions to support circulation and deepen relaxation. Each of the nine bath packs contains precise portions of this botanical, creating an aromatic experience that feels both indulgent and purposeful.
We appreciate how Ettitude approaches manufacturing with environmental consciousness. Their cleanbamboo fabric technology uses notably less water than conventional processes, demonstrating that luxury items can coexist with sustainability goals. The company's water conservation efforts – measured in millions of saved liters – suggest a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship rather than mere greenwashing.

This vessel reflects the Japanese principle that everyday objects should serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. The vacuum insulation maintains temperature control while thoughtful details – from the wide mouth opening to the carefully engineered drinking spout – enhance the experience of staying hydrated throughout the day.
We're impressed by Kinto's attention to subtle elements that most might overlook: the balanced weight distribution, the satisfying sound of the lid closure, and the overall proportions that make it comfortable to hold. These considerations reflect their understanding that seemingly minor details can significantly impact our daily rituals.
