Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use soap on my jade roller?

Yes. Use a mild, fragrance-free soap with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the stone's finish over time.

How often should I deep clean my jade roller?

At least once a week with a soak in warm soapy water. If you use it with active skincare ingredients (like vitamin C or retinol), clean it more frequently.
