The holiday rush is here—don’t just survive it, glow through it. Start every day with Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha, the ultimate ritual for calm focus, sustained energy, and radiant skin. Unlike coffee, which spikes and crashes your energy, this matcha keeps you steady, alert, and glowing from within. Crafted by Japanese tea masters in Kagoshima, it’s ceremonial-grade, organic, and shaded longer for higher L-theanine and chlorophyll—meaning more calm, more clarity, and a daily dose of antioxidants that support skin, detox, and immunity.

This isn’t just a drink—it’s your secret to thriving through the season. And now’s the perfect time to stock up or gift it. For a limited time, get up to 20% off for life + free gifts.

Elevate your ritual. Energize your glow.

📱 Oasis App: Checking Hidden Contaminants in Everyday Products

Every product on your shelf, from protein powder to deodorant, contains more than what you see on the label. From trace amounts of lead and cadmium to plastic fibers and unlisted fillers, contaminants often slip into products that appear clean and safe. Many of these come from ingredient sourcing, packaging, or manufacturing shortcuts.

For anyone training consistently and supplementing daily, those small exposures can build up over time. That’s where the Oasis App comes in. Oasis compiles independent lab data and public testing results to rate thousands of products across supplements, personal care items, and household goods. It helps users see which brands maintain clean manufacturing practices and which ones don’t.

What Oasis Tracks

Oasis pulls data from watchdog organizations, independent labs, and published testing reports. Its database includes results from sources such as Consumer Reports, The Clean Label Project, and the Environmental Working Group.

Consumer Reports recently found that many popular protein powders contained measurable levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. Some exceeded California’s Proposition 65 limits for daily exposure. Other testing has found PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” in product wrappers, shaker bottles, and even protein powders. PFAS compounds resist heat and moisture, which makes them useful for packaging but also persistent in the body, where they are linked to hormonal and metabolic disruption.

Label accuracy is another recurring issue. A 2024 analysis by SupplementLabTest.com and Lifters Review found that several “creatine gummy” brands contained little to no actual creatine. While Oasis hasn’t confirmed hosting those specific studies, its framework is built to surface this kind of data as soon as new test results appear. In practice, Oasis acts as a living index of product integrity that updates as new findings emerge. 

Why You Should Care

PFAS exposure has also been linked to lower testosterone levels and slower muscle regeneration, according to multiple human and animal studies summarized by the EPA.

These effects accumulate over time. A small contaminant might not make a difference after one scoop, but it can matter after hundreds of servings. When you take the same protein, creatine, or pre-workout daily, your exposure becomes consistent. Clean sourcing and accurate labeling, once optional, become essential.

Knowing which companies publish third-party test data and which rely purely on marketing helps you build trust in what you put into your body. Progress depends on what you put in and what you filter out. Keeping your stack clean strengthens the foundation for everything else you build.
