Stark skincare

As we used to say: welcome to my TedTalk. #greenbeauty #nontoxic #conventionalbeauty #naturalskincare #bigbeauty #badgerbadgerbadger #chemistry

I have to start giving credit where credit is due: it is thanks to @JordanSamuelSkin that cranberry seed oil was brought to my attention, since Jordan uses and loves cranberry seed oil in his oil formulas as well. Despite cranberry being a (very) local product for me, it’s not an oil that one comes across very often and wasn’t even on my radar until just a couple of years ago. I fell in love the moment I tried it both on my skin and as a salad vinaigrette; It’s delicious both... ways. CSO will soon be in many Stark products (the new facial oils, for one!) but wanted to introduce you to this amazing oil daddy in advance. Prepare yourself... it’s good. Quebec grown, cold-pressed cranberry seed oil has a beautiful golden hue and a very pleasant scent, and goes on feeling oily at first, but sinks in quickly (kind of a medium-speed absorption, I would say faster than must nut oils, slower than squalane) but what’s unique about CSO is two things. One, its perfect ratio of 1:1:1 of Omegas 3, 6 and 9. That’s something you really don’t come across with seed oils. What this means is that it’s equally anti-inflammatory, barrier-enriching and emollient, because one should never really have to choose just one, right? However, its the anti-inflammatory properties that specifically interest me about CSO. And two, this seed oil is very high in anti-oxidants. Rich in phyto-sterols and oil-soluble vitamins, particularly Vitamin E (Argan’s claim to fame and between you and me, Argan is overrated. There, I said it.) it has similar antioxidants as green tea, making it perfect for a city-dwellers stressed-out skin. #facialoils #thisisahashtag #greenbeauty #coldpressed #coldpee #feedingtime #jurassicworld See more

Meet SOLSTICE!!! It's a limited edition body balm! Wow! + Aurora is back in stock! Well, at least ONE thing is going as expected today.

BalmS are BACK! - https://mailchi.mp/starkskincare/balms-are-back

Aurora has been made! Took longer than expected but will be ready to ship probably end of next week!

Texture shot of Eclipse! I think I will change the name from Eclipse cleansing gel to masque and cleanse gel or something because I mask with this guy all the time and he's my favourite! Super gentle exfoliating PLUS hydration and soothing things make this amazing for seasonal transition. Noticeable difference after masking. Masquing? Whatever. #texturetuesday #imadaylate
