It's luxurious and all you need for a glowing face!
I love it. Hydrates my skin. Protects it. Glows.
I have extremely sensitive skin… can’t use fragrances…allergic to almost everything with the exception of aloe on my face. This has been a godsend! My skin looks amazing and no breakouts or sensitivity for my sensitive skin! My new routine staple!
This is by far the best facial moisturizer I have ever used. It is such a joy to find something that properly hydrates my skin, locks in moisture, doesn't break me out or cause any irritation, and leaves my face smooth and soft each day. The solid formula is also very easy to travel with and it works well when I do my gua sha routine. Love it!
I love that this just melts on my face. It feels so luxurious and soft. Unfortunately it did break me out in my chin and lip area and dry my forehead out to the point of flakes, which hasn’t happened to me in over a decade or so. I’m not sure why, but it just didn’t work for me. I did not have this happen with the Balance face stone. I just couldn’t stand the smell of that one. It smelled like tobacco to me. But it did work for my skin. I need a happy medium. I love Kate products, all in all. Love! This particular stone just didn’t work with my skin type. I think people should definitely give one of the face stones a try though! It feels like a dream going on!
I’ve been on a skin journey the last few years. I spent the first 30 years of my life with virtually zero skin issues. At 32, things changed and my skin has become more finicky, sensitive, blemish-prone, dry……I maybe got a couple spots a year? As of the last year, I’ve been getting several a month. Maybe not a lot for some, but for me, who was not used to that at all, it has been a struggle. My skin has also become more dry. My usual normal/oily skin would now get patches of dryness. And I thought oily skin was annoying. Yeah not so much when your face is flaky and tight….I now welcome the extra sweat and glow when it’s hot and I stay FAR AWAY from oil blotting sheets (they used to be my saving grace). I’ve tried what feels like everything. And I end up returning almost everything. Enter the Soothe Face stone. After almost a week of using it this is what’s happened: couple spots I have clear up, dry patches are 90% gone, tiny irritation bumps near my mouth/chin are 95% gone, skin is hydrated, not itchy or dry, skin feels soft af…it’s amazing. I youth I’d never find anything that worked for me. Kate, you magnificent wizard, this is magic. I’m a convert. This is what my skin has been craving. Thank you.
The face stone is an amazing product! Over the past 50 years I have tried many, many moisturizers and the face stone is the only one I have found that requires minimal application and absorbs quickly. I feel comfortable in my skin! It does not feel dry or tight or greasy.
I love that I could feel safe using this stone because I know everything that’s in it I love that it does have just a tiny hint of a scent not strong definitely but just enough to pick it up… I smell it and others probably won’t I’m partially blind and have a very sensitive nose! But my favorite thing about The sooth face stone… is that I can control just have thickly or thinly I apply the product: it’s harder to control how much face cream you use in regular face creams that come in jars because I have oily skin I will take what I think is a moderate amount of cream from the jar and it ends up being much too much for my face and I have to wash it off! This cream is very versatile in that The product itself is not thick, I thought it would be because it’s in a bar form but it’s really all in how much you use and it’s so easy to control! With dry skin types I could imagine someone rubbing the stone between their hands to use on their face, but with my oily acne prone skin I simply rub my fingers against the stone and apply it to my face that way because I don’t need as much product as someone who has dryer skin! One of the reasons I decided to give this face bar a try is that the bass butter is Kokum butter which is completely non-comedogenic all the oils in this go to about two on the comedogenic scale, or less so I’m almost completely sure it won’t clog the pores on my face and cause breakouts!
I know the title of this may be a bit...um, dramatic? But, as someone who has suffered with perioral dermatitis for most of my adult life, this bar has saved my face. My face tends to get reactive with new products, so I used this sparingly the first few times and hoped, wished, and prayed for the best. I didn't have any reaction. Not even a bit. After a few days the remainder of the dryness from my last flare up was also gone. Was my face healed?? For the first time in 20 years?? Time will tell if this streak of good skin will be lasting. For now, I am enjoying my rash free, super soft face.
I bought the mini body sampler, and the soothe Stone. At first, I was disappointed by how quickly the mini body samplers were used up and I was worried that the $60 face stone would be done in a month— I was very wrong! I use it daily and it’s still going strong. A little goes a long way even on my super dry skin. I struggle with hormonal acne on my cheeks and it actually cleared up on this. I was shocked!
Picture of my cheek showing mild acne scarring that looks better than it has in years, because no new pimples have popped up since using the face stone. If you’re in your mid thirties, have dry sensitive skin prone to eczema and hormonal acne, this may work for you!
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.
Signature blend of rose, frankincense, and neroli, subtle enough for everyday use.
Hydrating blend of blue tansy and tamanu oil evens skin tone and calms redness.
Solid bath and shower oil with refreshing eucalyptus.
