Mount Lai

mount lai

Overview

Mount Lai is a proudly Asian, female-owned beauty brand rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Mount Lai knows skincare is a form of selfcare. It’s a way to carve out time for yourself in your busy schedule + to decompress from the day. This idea goes all the way back to founder Stephanie Zheng’s grandmother, who has been jade rolling and practicing gua sha as a calming skincare ritual for over fifty years. 

Gua sha and facial rolling have been around for centuries, shared from one family member to another, like founder Stephanie and her grandmother. Staying true to these healing traditions, the name Mount Lai comes from Mount Penglai, a mountain in Chinese mythology. Mount Lai is also carbon neutral and gives back to communities through Charity Water.
