Amy Starr I have used many many beauty tools in my time as a beauty journalist and probably none as beautiful and special as this one. Firstly, the gorgeous wood is a revelation. Unlike stones and crystal, it will never break if dropped and the timber just feels so lovely in the hands. I enjoyed using it on others, but also thoroughly enjoyed it’s use for self-massage. Unlike many tools touted for use on the scalp, I found this one superior to anything else- the beautiful smooth texture of the timber doesn’t get caught in the hair and the practice has become fairly addictive for me, to release tension all over the head and neck. The packaging is a real stand-out too. It gave the whole experience a sense of luxury and ritual. In an industry often driven by fast consumption, this brand is refreshingly focused on timelessness and crafting the kind of tool that can be cherished. It seems as though the practices are not just about reducing waste, but genuinely inspiring a slower, more intentional style of wellness. I’m so impressed!Marisa Robinson The Sage Quintessence AGASTYA Sandalwood Comb has become a fast favourite in my evening routine to ground me back into my body and provide deep relaxation. They are so beautifully crafted and provide the most nourishing scalp and body massage that instantly relieves stress and tension while being gentle on my hair. I also love using the smooth edge along the contours of my face for my Gua Sha massage. This all natural tool is a must in your self care routine! As a Gua Sha teacher, I love that the combs are inspired by ancient practices and that Sage are honouring these traditions by working directly and fairly with Chinese artisans. The knowledge and wisdom held in these traditions is so potent and I love that Sage is encouraging more people to incorporate these practices into their routines with their natural and sustainable range.Michelle Ruzzene The comb felt weighty and substantial in the hand and using it created a soothing scalp massage experience that encouraged slow, mindful self-care. The smooth, rounded teeth glided easily through hair without pulling, making it gentle for both hair and scalp. I’m particularly impressed by the brands commitment to ethically sourcing exotic sandalwood species through regulated suppliers and their willingness to acknowledge challenges while striving for certification and improvement.
