A weighted dome of Kansa bronze on a hand-turned teak handle. The wand is one of the oldest face tools in India, and the simplest. You oil the skin, and let the metal do the work. Slow passes across the jaw, the brow, the cheekbones. A few quiet minutes at the end of a day.

Kansa is a copper and tin alloy, worked by hand for generations. The dome is cool to the touch and finished so it glides rather than drags.

How to use

  • Oil the skin first, generously.
  • Small end for the brow and under the eyes. Large dome for cheeks, forehead and jaw.
  • Slow circles, a light hand, finishing down the neck.

Product Story

The Metal

Before the periodic table, there was Vedic alchemy.
Somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 years ago, metallurgists working within the Ayurvedic tradition made a discovery: copper and tin, combined at a precise 78:22 ratio, didn't just form an alloy. They formed something new. A third substance with its own molecular vibration, its own temperature, its own relationship with the human body. They called it Kansa, the healing metal.

The ratio matters. Deviate from it and you have ordinary bronze. Hold it, and Kansa becomes bioconductive: capable of drawing Pitta (excess heat and acidity) out of the skin and body on contact. This is why the grey appears on your skin during a Kansa massage. Not tarnish. Not damage. Acid, leaving.

True Kansa cannot be manufactured. It must be tempered — heated to a red glow, hammered, quenched, heated again — in a cycle that can only be done by hand. This process lives within a small number of hereditary smith clans in India, passed down through generations who never wrote the knowledge down because they never needed to. Their hands carry it.

The result is a metal that has outlasted every trend in wellness because it was never a trend. While the world moved to stainless steel and plastic, Kansa stayed, patient and hand-hammered, waiting to re-enter the rituals it was made for.

Our tools are bringing it back.

Care Instructions
