Why You'll Love It: Kate's signature, plant-powered blend will transform your skin as it deeply nourishes and locks in moisture to combat dryness, soothes irritation and inflammation without leaving any greasy residue, and visibly evens your skin tone by reducing redness. Use as nourishing daily moisturizer, a smoothing makeup primer, or as a natural highlighter to reveal your inner glow.

Texture: Solid melts into a luxurious face oil as you glide onto skin. The lightweight, buildable texture spreads and absorbs easily without clogging pores. No sticky rubbing or tugging, or any greasy residue.

Plant-Powered Concentrate: This formula is made from 100% all-natural ingredients. There is no dilution from water, synthetics, or alcohols, and there are no added waxes, gums, or preservatives. This is highly concentrated nourishment in the palm of your hand, which means a little goes a long way. All you need is a few swipes for long-lasting nourishment.

Skin Concerns: Redness, dryness, scarring, texture

Scent: Subtle, natural, herbal

Glide the Face Stone along your cheekbones, jawline, and neck, using firm upward strokes.

Love the face stone so far. It goes on a little greasy but then really soaks in you my skin. It’s so much easier to just run this smooth bar over my face in the morning than apply
lotion or serums. May have found my new permanent routine. I’ve also been enjoying the body stones, so happy I found this brand. I have super dry skin and the balance stone has been great - lays well under makeup too! Bravo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent quality but not crazy about the scent
I really like the hydration and non greasy feeling of this face stone, I just wish the scent would be a little lighter and fresher.

Loving this!!
I love the body stones so much, I decided to try the facial stone and I am loving it so far! I have aging perimenopausal skin that gets dry in the winter. This face stone makes me feel like I am hydrating my skin but without a heavy cream-like feeling. And the scent is so relaxing for me at night. I truly feel like I've had a spa experience when I use it!

I got this and the body moisturizer and I must say this seems like a much better value than the body version. This is super moisturizing and has not clogged pores or giving me a single zit, really nice mind smell and seems like it will last awhile compared to the body version. Packaging is also great!

Very concentrated herbal scent
I was not able to use the product because the scent was too strong. I promised to donate it to a local women’s shelter since I thought that was the right thing to do given the return policy which makes sense. However, I know the scent probably indicates that the product has very very concentrated ingredients and I think it will be suitable for someone who wants a product like this. I will go and buy the unscented one. I do like the glass jar it comes in. Great customer service too!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Face Stone last?

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.

What is the shelf life of a Face Stone?

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.

How do I keep my Face Stone clean?

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.

Is the Face Stone non-comedogenic?

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.

How do I incorporate the Face Stone into my skincare routine?

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.
