Two regulars. One gym sauna.

We’re Openfounder first names, or “two mates” from Sydney. For Openhow long, e.g. “years”, we were regulars at our gym sauna, Openname the gym only with its permission, or keep it as “our local gym”. Opena detail of the routine, e.g. “Same bench, most weeks.”

We loved it. But we kept thinking it could be better. Openthe honest frustration, e.g. “The air was flat,” “We’d bring scents from home and they’d smell like a cheap diffuser,” “Nobody explained how to do it properly.”

So we started working on it. Openthe first thing you made or tried. We went looking for scents that held up in the steam, and kept coming back to Australian native plants: lemon myrtle, eucalyptus, tea tree, sandalwood. Big, clear, unmistakably Australian scents. Openconfirm this is how the native-botanical idea came about, or rewrite.

That became Kino. Openconfirm, e.g. “We’re still regulars, and we try everything on a sauna bench before it goes on sale.” And we’re building out the rest of the ritual, hats, towels, buckets, because a better session is about more than one bottle.
