Kate McLeod — Food-For-Skin Solid Moisturizers, Made from Scratch

Born in a Brooklyn kitchen and handcrafted in the Hudson Valley, Kate McLeod brings you waterless, plant-butter–based solid moisturizers that deeply nourish without dilution. Using ingredients like cocoa butter, cupuaçu, kokum, and shea—plus rich botanical oils—each Body Stone, Face Stone, and wellness stick melts on contact, offering concentrated hydration, a spa-like aroma, and a sensorial touch that radiates glow and ritual. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
