Kate's Favorite Tip: Think of this waterless moisturizer as a concentrate—a little goes a long way. All you need is a few swipes for a long lasting, dewy glow. One Face Stone lasts 3-6 months with daily usage and provides twice as much usage per oz than a traditional face moisturizer.
The Starter Kit includes a green, bamboo-topped jar for easy, reusable storage. Restock it over time with your favorite Face Stone Refills.
I sm blown away by the way this glides on and makes my skin feel silky smooth and soft! Beavo!
I love the face stone. I’ve only used for the past week but the moisturizing property is noticeable! I am waiting a cleansing stone to complete the routine!
I have eczema on my forehead and this makes my forehead not so flaky, not to heavy smells nice
I live in the high Sonoran desert and it works beautifully on my, previously oily, combination skin. Leaving my face looking dewey like it did when I was in High School 🏫
I was expecting a creamier texture, however it was waxy and tacky. I’ll stick with my old moisturizer. I really wanted to love it but this wasn’t the case.
I discovered Kate McLeod products on the Drew Barrymore show. I love that you can read all the ingredients. I have purchased many of the stone moisturizers the face stone I subscribed to daily for three months and it is the best for my sensitive skin and looking forward to trying the new, one that just came out to compare. I’m 52 yo and barley wear makeup now.
Pleasant scent and makes my skin baby soft and hydrated throughout the day
I love the way it instantly moisturizes and slowly is absorbed by my skin leaving me with beautiful hydrated skin.
It smells a bit like celery/cucumbers but I don't mind, it smells fresh and "green". This doesn't irritate my skin and makes it look dewy and glowy. The jar looks beautiful on my countertop too!
This face stone feels so good gliding over my face. The smell is slight but wonderful.
Since the Face Stone is a waterless concentrate, a little goes a long way. One Face Stone lasts 3-6 months with daily usage, and provides twice as much usage per oz than a traditional face moisturizer.
The Face Stone is made with kokum butter, which is an incredible natural preservative, making the shelf life about two years. However, for optimal usage, we recommend using it within a year after opening.
We recommend applying the Face Stone with clean hands to a clean face and storing it back in it's green glass jar after each use.
One of the top reasons Kate removed water from the Face Stone formula is because water breeds bacterial and microbial growth, which can cause infection and inflammation. Our Face Stone is 100% plant-based nourishment and water-free. Kokum butter acts as an incredible natural preservative, keeping the Face Stone sanitary without added synthetic ingredients. By contrast, most traditional moisturizers and creams are made with up to 80% water and get filled with preservatives, fillers, stabilizers, alcohols, and other synthetics to prevent microbial growth.
Yes! Each Face Stone is formulated with a kokum butter base, a non-comedogenic emollient that will not clog pores and is suitable for all skin types. Kokum butter provides a lightweight, buildable texture that spreads and absorbs easily into the skin without any grease. It is also a natural humectant, so it attracts and retains moisture by drawing water vapor to the surface of the skin to lock in hydration.
Apply the Face Stone in the morning after you cleanse your face and before your daily SPF. It can also be used at night. We suggest applying a thicker coat to clean skin as an overnight sleeping mask. The Face Stone can also be used as a natural highlighter, a makeup primer, and a lip balm.
At Kate McLeod we believe less is more. Over-exfoliation and ten-step skincare routines can do more harm than good as they strip your skin of it's natural hydration. Our simple, powerful solid face moisturizer deeply nourishes and locks in moisture with just one step.
