To be sure, I scanned each product’s ingredients with the Switch Natural app. All products listed have passed the Switch Natural scanner. Be sure to check the ingredients on the package, as brands change their ingredients from time to time.
I have used many of these products myself, and others I chose to include because they get great reviews and I intend to try them!

Uplifting Gua Sha Heart
From Jenny Patinkin’s website:
“Originally used as a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gua Sha is an ancient wellness method that has been adapted in modern times as a simple, effective, and stress relieving way to help improve the appearance of skin laxity, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce fluid retention, and trigger muscle relaxation for a smoother, more transformed appearance.
And because Rose Quartz Crystal gemstones are said to emit transformational, loving energy, this tool also helps to bring forward feelings of self-love, self-worth, kindness, and compassion.”

From Jenny Patinkin’s website: “Hand-blown glass globes feature a non-toxic, plant-based cryo essence that needs only to be chilled for a short amount of time…
These Cryo Glow Globes use cold temperatures to constrict blood vessels in the skin, promote circulation and oxygenation, reduce redness, soothe irritation, reduce inflammation and give the appearance of a firmer, brighter and more lifted complexion.” Set of 2.
