our story

ZIIST is not a brand.
It's a rebellion.

Brand Story

Built from

ZIIST was founded by Suhana and Zeba — a brand strategist and a sports physiotherapist who spent nearly a decade watching elite athletes wreck their recovery because nobody was talking about sleep properly. Not really.

We don't mask symptoms. We awaken healing. We cure roots, not branches. We honour the body's wisdom — its rhythms, its cycles, its deep divine need for rest. The Reboot started as a clinical experiment with transdermal magnesium post-training. It worked. So we bottled it.

ZIIST is powered by nature, guided by science, and built for people who refuse to compromise on what goes into their body or their night.

What We Stand For

Three pillars. Zero compromises.

01
Science. No Compromise.
Every formulation is grounded in clinical physiology. If the science doesn't back it, it doesn't go in. No trend ingredients, no feel-good filler.
02
Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unafraid.
We say the things the wellness industry is too polite to say. We are the only brand that will tell you that your hustle is killing you — and mean it.
03
Zero Hype. Zero Softening. Just Results.
Deep sleep. Genuine recovery. Waking up as a functioning human being. Not aspirational. Not a vibe. A biological result. The only thing that was ever the point.
Beauty outside. Strength inside. Mind awake. Sleep sacred. Healing forever.
SHUT UP & SLEEP
The people behind it

Two founders. One obsession.

What We Sound Like

The only brand that will say it.

“Sleep deprivation is slow suicide. Stop bragging about it.”

“Your body is not a machine. Even machines need to shut down.”

“You don’t need more coffee. You need eight hours.”

“The hustle killed your sleep. Now your sleep is killing the hustle.”

“We built this for people who have run out of excuses.”

“Shut up and sleep. We mean it.”
