Watch a TikTok video showcasing the matcha stick in use. Cocokind, a San Francisco-based, woman-owned small business, focuses on botanical-infused skincare that promotes both physical and mental wellness. I recently purchased this matcha stick, and it’s amazing!

It has a wonderful scent and provides excellent hydration!
