Handcrafted botanical skincare for northern seasons. Made in Canada since 2011.

My two fav products for a minimalist routine that really works. Perfect for travel. Miraculously performs just as well in summer (Aurora to cleanse, Equinox alone to moisturize) and winter (cleanse with Aurora and then use as a protective balm over Equinox). Thanks Jess!

I cannot say enough about this balm. The scent is incredible. The texture is smooth and silky. The gentle hydrating cleansing action is perfect for my sensitive eczema prone skin.

I love this balm. I use it as a moisturizer. The scent is natural and calming and the texture melts into my skin. It is a great night cream. Great for mature skin that is sensitive. I store it in the fridge to keep it cool. It applies better that way. I also use it on my hands. Great pro- aging product.

I have a prescription for tretinoin but I don't love using it because of my dry skin. I love midnight + retinol because it's hydrating while also reducing / preventing the look of aging. I also find it really reduces acne (yay being mid 30s fighting acne and wrinkles). I had taken a break from it last summer and when I started using it again i distinctly remember a friend telling me 'wow you look amazing', and I credit this product

Aurora was a nice surprise! I am using it in a few ways in my summer beauty routine. Jess suggested it can work well as a cleanser and as a balm. I am finding that mineral sunscreens are drying my skin out. During my end of day shower cleaning my face with Aurora and then putting a bit more on afterwards gives me a lovely little "facial". So moisturizing and comfortable. Love it.

I have lost track of how many jars I went through the years, but a lot. It is a great multi purpose balm that you can easily pack with you on vacation. As a bonus it smells so great. If you did not try it yet, now is a good time to try it. It is so great that I am not using any other balm anymore except for the Boreal that I like to alternate.

Petrichor has been my tried and true since day 1. Use it for everything. I mix it with other products sometimes. I apply it after washing my face. Sometimes I use it after applying makeup as a bit of a setting spray. It’s light, versatile but my skin notices it when I run out!

Deep midnight retinol serum is the product I use that I see the most immediate results with. Every time. It repairs, balances and keeps my skin looking smooth when I wake up after applying before bed.

Excellent for overnight, lasts a good while, you get a solid amount for the price, and smells so nice! Cool formulation, would def recommend giving this a try.

I have been using Eclipse in the mornings, and Aurora at night. I think Eclipse is a perfect cleanser. It smells fresh, feels nice, cleans well, and is not drying in the least. My skin is generally on the oily side, so I like to cleanse in the mornings. I've also used it as a morning mask twice: I applied it to a dry face, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then hopped in the shower. I felt my skin looked a little extra perky on those days.

My sensitive dehydrated skin and skin barrier hate hylauronic acid, finding something soothing and truly hydrating in the modern market always seemed nearly impossible. But this serum has become my saviour. It’s light, refreshing and instantly (and long term) soothing. Exactly what I’ve dreamed of

Midnight is a must have product if your skin is at all dry or dehydrated. I use it after Equinox and the combination has made a huge difference to my skin. It is calmer, well hydrated and make-up (when I wear it) looks much better than it did before I started using Stark. The texture is magical - smooth and absorbs well as well as having a wonderful smell. You will not be sorry if you buy this product - and add Equinox as well, your winter skin will thank you! I really couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Solstice is a salve in every sense of the word. I purchased with hopes of increased hydration in the transition to winter weather, and this balm delivers in spades. A little goes a long way: I use it on along my hairline, down my neck/chest, and on my face's driest points — including around my nose, which is my favourite place to apply because I get to enjoy the incredible scent. The vibrant colour makes an already-divine product feel even more luxe. No notes!

I recently placed my first Stark order, including the lovely Equinox. After a couple weeks of use it's safe to say I'll be reordering again and again. Equinox does what it says it will: calms and smooths my cold-air irritated skin, and it offers a beautiful scent/visual experience to boot; it's been the perfect companion as Toronto moves into winter weather. I use it morning and night directly after my moisturizing oil, and it instantly locks that moisture in and makes my skin feel bouncy and smooth! From my teen acne days, I have muscle memory to "not touch my face," but this serum makes me want to sneak feels all day!

This is the only product that I see and feel instant results with. I have a skin condition that sometimes flares up causing dry patches and red spots. As a musical performer it’s embarrassing to have this problem. I must have tried at least 20-30 creams and oils from $30 dollars to $150 dollars and nothing worked. This oil makes everything calm down and look and feel better. Since I’ve been using this I’ve had almost no issues for years. I absolutely love this oil!!!!
