It's a Warrior Thing

We see you:

The fire. The fatigue. The fight you never signed up for—but show up to anyway.

I'm Shahista Pillay, the founder, formulator, and firestarter behind every product on this site. I built Warrior Things from lived pain, raw truth, and the desire to create rituals that actually support the battle-worn. I live this life too. Every soak salt, pain balm, and rebellious soap was crafted from my own fight and designed for yours.

Diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus, and Hypothyroidism, I understand firsthand the daily challenges of living with chronic illness. Through years of personal experience, research, and determination, I've created products specifically designed to support others on similar journeys.

This isn't just a brand. It's a movement.
One that names the hard stuff out loud.
One that believes self-care isn't about perfection—it's about survival with style.
