“Carving out time for relaxation can feel like a task in itself – but at Revitalist15, we believe a simple, 15-minute ritual can be a powerful tool to reset the mind, body, and soul.”
-Maiko Shimazaki
Revitalist15 was created to redefine rest as a modern ritual. Inspired by Japanese self-care traditions and the therapeutic power of heat, the brand was born from a belief that restorative rest should be both simple and luxurious.
In Japan, self-heating eye masks are a beloved part of everyday wellness — a small but powerful way to restore balance. Drawing on this ritual, Revitalist15 set out to elevate the experience by pairing gentle warmth with a scent crafted for its therapeutic and emotional properties. Months of research and formulation led to the creation of a proprietary sandalwood blend — grounding yet transportive, designed to calm the mind and quiet the senses.
Each mask engages sight, scent, and touch, creating a multi-sensory experience that helps the body release tension and the mind find stillness. Whether preparing for sleep, recovering from travel, or simply pausing during the day, Revitalist15 transforms ordinary moments into rituals of beauty, calm, and renewal.
Raised in Tokyo before moving to New York, Maiko spent her career in the corporate world, traveling frequently across time zones and navigating demanding schedules. In 2024, as a new mother balancing work and life, she often found it difficult to disengage her mind from the demands of the day.
Having transformed her own sleep and daily wellbeing with self-heating eye masks, Maiko founded Revitalist15 to share a trusted Japanese ritual with a wider audience — making restorative rest simple, accessible, and luxurious.
