In the late 1800s and early 1900s, scientists began experimenting with ways to create moldable materials from Plant starches, Soy proteins, Corn polymers, Milk proteins (casein, historically) and later: petroleum derived resins. These materials were developed because natural stone was expensive, heavy, fragile, inconsistent in shape and difficult to mass produce, so as beauty rituals globalised, manufacturers sought a material that could be shaped smoothly, be hygienic, durable, affordable and consistent and so modern composite materials emerged, like this translucent like stone made from plastic, resin or proteins. Watch the videos below to see how wonderful it is and how to use it over your whole body.

Our Gua Sha is nonporous, uniform, lightweight, durable, Smooth, resistant to chipping and easy to clean. Derived from modern bio-composite materials, this protein based tool is designed for consistent glide. While engineered through modern material science, its purpose connects deeply to ancient practices. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healers used carved stone tools to stimulate circulation, release stagnation, and support the body’s natural flow with lymph drainage. Across Asia, smooth stones, bone, and shaped materials were used along the skin to encourage movement, warmth, and energetic balance. This stone has a lineage of movement, flow, release, and gentle awakening of the skin, acting as a modern interpretation of ancient scraping tools.
