Cool black stone, a smooth glide, and a few quiet minutes at the mirror. This black obsidian facial roller brings a steady, tactile pause to skincare, with a double-ended shape for broad facial strokes and more careful work around smaller areas.
The feel of black obsidian
The stone is deep black and glossy, catching the light with a glass-like sheen.
Black obsidian forms when volcanic lava cools quickly, giving it its smooth, dark character.

From the chin, roll up and out towards the cheeks. Across the forehead, work from the middle outwards. Use the smaller roller gently around the eye area, keeping the movement soft and unhurried.
