The Kate McLeod Story

What began in a Brooklyn kitchen as a personal solution for dry skin has grown into a movement in mindful, sustainable body care. In 2016, trained pastry chef Kate McLeod blended her first solid lotion bar with her favorite ingredient, pure cocoa butter, and discovered a new way to care for skin.

Today, our Hudson Valley workshop carries on that culinary heritage, handcrafting Body Stone Lotion Bars and Multitasking Moisture Sticks with care and purpose. Each formula is waterless and solid, delivering a superior application experience that transforms a daily routine into a grounding self-care ritual.

Made with pure plant butters—including cocoa, cupuaçu, kokum, and shea—and nutrient-rich botanical oils like sweet almond, apricot kernel, avocado, and fractionated coconut, our formulas melt on contact, absorb effortlessly, and leave skin glowing. We infuse each one with all‑natural fragrances crafted from pure essential oils, bringing subtle aromatherapeutic benefits that nourish body and mind.

Unlike traditional lotions with up to 90% water, our waterless formulas deliver a concentrated dose of moisture and nourishment. The Body Stone has been clinically tested to hydrate for up to 72 hours*—delivering results you can see and feel.
