Mount Lai, founded by Stephanie Zheng, draws inspiration from her grandmother's lifelong practice of jade rolling and Gua Sha, which served as moments of calm and self-care in her busy life. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles passed down through generations, Mount Lai integrates ancient healing modalities like gua sha and facial rolling into modern skincare routines.
Collaborating closely with TCM practitioners, Mount Lai formulates skincare products using herbs renowned for their healing properties, deeply rooted in historical use and modern research. The brand's name pays homage to Mount Penglai from Chinese mythology, known for its mystical fruits with healing and rejuvenating powers.
Mount Lai prioritizes natural, effective ingredients in their vegan, cruelty-free, and Leaping Bunny certified skincare products. They are committed to quality, using only the finest stones for their facial tools and avoiding fillers or harmful chemicals in their formulations. Sustainability is core to their ethos, aiming to be carbon neutral and certified plastic neutral through partnerships with rePurpose. Additionally, the brand supports community initiatives, including Charity Water, and upholds diversity and inclusion in their hiring practices.
With a mission to enhance both outer beauty and inner well-being, Mount Lai invites individuals to incorporate their products into daily rituals for glowing skin and mental rejuvenation.
