Porcelain shell

Massage with shells is more and more popular: The cowrie shell is made from a mixture of crushed shells and porcelain. It has the same properties as a natural shell and is very effective for use as a massage tool. This type of shell has a thicker and stronger casing.  It is therefore less likely to break when dropped.

Because the shells are made of calcium carbonate, they release calcium ions when heated, which are transferred directly to the skin during massage. Calcium helps regulate the natural process of skin renewal and can help make the skin firmer, healthier, while providing the benefits of a warm massage. It is important to clean the shells in soapy water after each massage.

 Massages using shells require less preparation and less maintenance than hot stone massages, but it is more expensive. Indeed, for a massage with shells you need to insert a new refill and an activator in each shell
