    Favorite stone

    I have not tried ALL of the stones - this was my third purchase and definitely my favorite. I work out a lot and get sore neck muscles and this really helps to relax them. It also smells amazing. Unfortunately my partner found it and likes it enough to use almost daily as well. I do have sensitive skin and this has not been a problem at all.

    Recovery Stone | Soothing Muscle Bar

    This bar is so refreshing to use on my tired muscle aches . It smells wonderful . It’s not like those other muscle ache rubs that I use to buy . Goes on easily and feels like someone else is massaging it on . I love the other bars and use them daily, but when my legs or back are sore and achy I reach for this bar . Thank you for a truly great and easy to use product !

    Amazingly hydrating!

    These recovery stones are absolutely a must! My entire body has really never been so soft. I get compliments all the time about how soft my skin is. Even my dermatologist is now hooked on Kate McLeod recovery stones. All the scents are mild yet light. Been on a monthly subscription for some time and you can try different ones each month if you like

    works great, but intense scent

    personally the scent reminds me of citronella mosquito candles somehow... but it actually works amazing for sore muscles

    The recovery stone is new to me. Smells like fresh ginger. I used it on my legs at night and slept so sound!
