Ingredients & Sourcing

Crafted from medicinal stones chosen for their skin and energetic benefits, rooted in the ancient Taoist tradition of stone medicine.

Artisan-crafted from sustainably sourced Bian stone, a unique amalgamate of 40+ minerals revered for their healing and rejuvenating properties. Each stone features natural white “veins,” formed by a meteor impact in China 65 million years ago—an authentic marker of its origin and potency.

Bian stone naturally emits energy associated with antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, including measurable ultrasound pulsations and far-infrared waves. It also releases negative ions, known to promote relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.

FAQs

Yes, the Empress Ritual can help support clearer skin by promoting circulation and lymphatic drainage. However, avoid using gua sha directly over active breakouts to prevent irritation. Our skincare products are specially formulated to support breakout-prone skin. Learn more here.

Use a gentle touch, especially around the delicate eye area. Imagine frosting a cake—light, smooth strokes are all you need for effective results. When targeting lymphatic drainage, less is more—light pressure is key to encouraging proper flow. Learn more about lymphatic drainage here.

Before each use, cleanse your stone with warm water and a gentle, skin-friendly cleanser or soap. To keep it protected, we recommend storing it in the Stone Pouch, as natural stones are fragile. Even diamonds can break when dropped—handle with care!

For optimal results, practice at least 3 times per week. Daily use is encouraged, but limit sessions to once per day to allow the skin to fully benefit from the ritual.

Reviews

Why did it take me this long!

"I was always skeptical of using a gua sha stone(I'm 52), not sure if they were truly beneficial. Then one day, after seeing my puffy face in the mirror I pulled the trigger. I decided to purchase the Empress Stone from Wildling because of the shape and material. I wasn't sure at first about the "comb" edge, I thought it might be too rough, I was wrong. I love doing one side of my face at a time and seeing the difference. I'm so hooked now and I'm considering the body stone. If you are on the fence like I was, stop hesitating, it's completely worth it, because it works."

— Candice B. (5/5)

Face changing!

"My right eye had always been lower than my left which drove me crazy. I started using gua sha everyday to lift my eye right eye and months later it is almost totally even! Really wild! Consistency makes such a difference and I’ve this product!"

— Michele W. (5/5)

Wildling Producrs

"I love the empress stone and the moon ounce plumping moisturizer! I noticed a very positive difference in my skin almost immediately. The empress stone has become part of my daily ritual. It is relaxing and makes my skin look great!"

— Jennifer S. (5/5)

Beautiful stone!

"The look and feel of this stone is impeccable. I volumes of tutorial videos are short and so well done , making it very accessible to pick up this practice of doing gua sha. Highly recommend."

— Emily M. (5/5)

I would have given it

"I would have given it a five star but this is my second stone. I had my last one for over four years. The quality has changed. The Stone seems a little bit thinner and not as smooth of a material. A little disappointed, but it still does the job."

— Tekoah K. (4/5)

I love the Empress Stone

"I have been using the stone for about a week and love it. It glides well and feels beautiful against the skin. Definitely cuts down on bloated look"

— Jane C. (5/5)

Not making them like they used to

"I've been using the Empress Stone, Wand, and Scalp Comb for several years now and have loved them. Especially the Stone. Sadly, I accidentally knocked it off the counter and the very tip broke off. I purchased a replacement, but the decline in quality was immediately noticeable. It is several cm smaller than my OG, and where the OG weighed 91 g, the new one weighs 88g. But the biggest difference is how it feels against my skin. The rounded end that's used against the back of your neck scratches my skin rather than feeling soothing. It's because it's thinner than the OG, forming a crease at the edge rather than the rounded edge it used to have. I'm disappointed that I bought it with a gift card because I don't want a refund in the form of a gift card, since I won't purchase from here again. I almost tossed my old Empress Stone, but now am glad I didn't, and will have to used it with duct tape on the end so the broken edge doesn't cut me."

— Sylvia (1/5)

my favorite stone shape + the best oils and mist!

"the oils and mist are sooo yummy I love their smell! And the stone is great, it's my favorite gua sha shaped stone I have ever used. Thank you!"

— Daniela G. (5/5)

"I absolutely loved it — but it broke after a week 😩 so sad. Hoping it goes on sale so I can rationalize buying another one for myself, because now I dont want to be without one."

— Mallory (5/5)

"It’s pricey, I debated purchasing because of cost. But I can say it is great. I love the teeth in it, I feel it helps “scrape” my neck better. I give it 4 stars only because it is expensive, shipping, packaging and stone are fantastic."

— Christina (4/5)
