I received my products last week and wanted to wait to write to you but I just couldn't. I LOVE THEM. The whole routine is fantastic and luxurious and so much fun for a stressed-out student such as myself. I've never used a cleansing balm before and was a bit worried about how my acne-prone skin would react, but it was fantastic. My skin does not get oily during the day, nor does it get dry. I've had a few hormonal chin-pimples, but they have gone away extremely quickly with just the regular routine. All the products smell AMAZING (especially the cleansing balm and cy oil), and they are a perfect base for makeup in the morning! I've actually been going out without concealer or foundation, which never happens because I am super self-conscious about my uneven skin tone.

But my skin just looks so much better. I just wanted to thank you for answering all my questions before I purchased and for making such awesome products! I love that they are handmade in Montreal (by an Ottawa girl!) and I can tell they are super high-quality and will last me a long time.

Thanks for making my face so happy :)

I just wanted to let you know your stuff is AMAZING!!! Love it, everything about it, the smells, how your face looks and feels, everything. I don't know if you remember but I talked to you for a bit and ordered the whole shebang. I definately can't wait to see what else you put out. Looking forward to it!!!!

So, so impressed. I always look forward to washing my face now and my skin is loving it!!!! Thank you so much for all the care you put into your products.

Extremely lightweight in density & texture, the oil absorbs on contact while cutting through the sharp verdancy with a softly projected sweetened citrus flourish on skin. It works extraordinarily well under foundation & around delicate thin-skinned eyes.

Cypress is such an undervalued smooth, fulsome oil with its biodynamic properties and rarely seen in face treatments [...].

This oil’s triumvirate of moisture, oil-control and anti-agers, resonates with its vibrant yet minimalist intent. The perfect addition to those skin care regimes needing a shot of organic pureness.

I want to bathe in the Cypress Purity + Defense oil. Every time I use it, I breathe in the aroma for at least 10-20 seconds (my equivalent of stopping and smelling the roses).

Stark skincare is light, nourishing, and impeccably named... with the intent to help replenish and fortify our body’s biggest organ, even when beset by those legendary Canadian winters.[...] Stark products are actually good enough to eat.[...] Modern city livin’ can be harsh on our skin, especially when that autumn weather starts biting at our summer sandaled heels— so, whatever you choose, be sure to squirrel away enough for a long and wholly luxuriant winter.

Stark is the only thing that has truly helped my parched lips in the desert climate I live in.

I use this just about every day because it is so versatile, I love the smell on my skin. Although on the website it is listed as a toner it can be used as a body spray. I use it on top of my lotion as a light fragrance when I don’t feel like wearing perfume or  I spray it on  after a yoga class when I want to feel refreshed. What I also like about this product it only has a few ingredients and it works wonders on sensitive skin.

I just want to say how much I love my new Stark products! I recently purchased the GF balm, WB tonic, CY Purity + Defense Oil and the TE Green Tea Mask . To me, pretty much the perfect cleansing and moisturizing regime. My favourite though is the GF balm.
I've always used foaming cleansers and wash off creams so using the balm was quite a change for me. The texture and the fact that it warms and melts on your fingertips reflects the purity of a very natural product. It also has the most delicious scent. I've actually noticed a change in my skin already, and it's  only been a week! Keep up the good work Stark!

YOUR PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING! They have brought me so much joy. I feel like I'm giving myself a spa treatment every time I use them which is pretty much every morning and night. I have done two face masks as well. My skin is healing every day.

Better than all the other lip balms!
