Weighted Eye Mask - Natural Lentil Fill

In Austin, Texas, Michelle Simmons, the founder of Slow North, set out with a simple goal: to create a healthier home for her growing family. Everything changed in 2015 with the birth of her first son, and when she could not find candles she trusted, she started making her own.

What started as a side project in her backyard grew into a business making essential oil candles, and Slow North says its candles are made with no synthetic fragrances. The line has since grown to include wellness goods like heated neck wraps and weighted eye masks.

Today Slow North has a retail shop in Austin, where the team teaches candle making workshops. Its mission is to inspire and support a mindful, balanced and more intentional way of living.

Q: How long does the temperature last when heated or cooled?
A: Heat therapy typically provides warmth for 15-20 minutes, while cold therapy stays cool for 10-15 minutes depending on room temperature.

Q: Is this eye mask safe to use every day?
A: Yes, this natural lentil-filled mask is designed for daily use as part of your wellness routine.

Q: Why choose lentils over other filling materials?
A: Lentils provide consistent therapeutic weight, hold temperature well, and remain naturally unscented unlike synthetic beads or heavily fragranced alternatives.

Q: Will this stay in place without a strap?
A: The 9-inch length and gentle weight help it rest naturally across your eyes when lying down, eliminating the need for restrictive elastic bands.

Q: Can I wash this eye mask?
A: Spot cleaning is recommended to preserve the natural lentil filling and maintain the integrity of the cotton-linen fabric.

Q: How do I know if the temperature is right for heat therapy?
A: Always test the mask on your inner wrist first, just like testing baby bottles - it should feel comfortably warm, never hot.

Q: Is this suitable for meditation practice?
A: Absolutely, the gentle weight and light-blocking design make this ideal for meditation, yoga nidra, or any mindfulness practice.
