I have been using stark products for about 10 years now. I love everything Jess makes and so does my partner. But solstice is my favorite product she's ever made! It's like icing for your face. It seals in moisture and protects my skin from all the harsh things I expose it to daily. I love the feeling of it on my face and use it after cleansing every day. And a small amount goes a long way.
Love this enzymatic cleanser that can also be left on as a ten-minute shower or bath mask. It's an elegant product that's formulated to exfoliate to a new level of soft skin without potentially skin-damaging mechanical exfoliation. My nose loves the subtle cardamom and orange scent, and my skin loves the gentle mix of botanicals that leave my skin renewed without irritating it. I'm a return customer who placed my order for the Stark line based around my love of Eclipse. Jess is a master formulator, and that shows in Eclipse.
I ordered this lip balm a couple of years ago and have compared every other lip balm I’ve used to it ever since, nothing compares. So I ordered it again when Stark recently had a sale. I’m in Australia so shipping used to be a deterrent but not anymore as I’ve realised it’s well worth it and the balm lasts a long time. This actually hydrates your dry lips and doesn’t wear off quickly. Texture is so good too!
This sublime comfort balm is aptly named ! It is just so beautiful in every way. I have been using it as my last skincare step to seal everything in, now that we’ve entered Winter in my part if the world. It’s a very interesting balm in that it is super hydrating yet ligtweight and easy to spread across the face (just warm it up between your fingers for extra smooth spreading :)
Also blue is my favourite colour and I love opening up that beautiful jar each night and marvelling at its beauty.
The ingredients are fantastic too as usual and I was particularly excited to use a product with Tremella Fuciformis as I’d been reading up about it and hearing about it online for internal use but this is the first time I’ve seen it in skincare.
Honestly, I am so impressed. I have used Stark skincare in the past but being from Australia shipping deterred me a little from continued purchase but it won’t anymore!
Thank you Diana!

This is my second bottle purchase. A little goes a long way. Without stripping it cleans the scalp and hair. The scent is so lux and clean. Please continue making this!
LOVE CITY — AND everything else Jess creates! Clean, effective, and so pleasant to use. Also the scent is just magical. Always look forward to using her products. Thank you!!
Great smell, ylang-ylang is a bit strong for my liking but rubs in nicely no oily feel!
Delay in review as I just opened the jar! I use Aurora all the time and I bought this to swop it up a bit. The smell is wonderful although I think I prefer aurora. I love the way it goes on my skin and softens it! Love, love, love!
Boreal is so calming and cleansing. The smell is divine.
I will definitely buy again.
Amazing product, I found this in my sister's skincare routine. My kids were so happy to find the little goodies shipped with my skincare. Thank you Jess for making their day! <3
Finally, an effective natural Canadian deodorant! I’ve been using Routine deodorants for a couple of years now and I especially like this one. It DOES make me feel like a boss while keeping me dry and fresh smelling.
I LOVE this cleansing balm! It’s all I use! I have combination, acne prone skin and Aurora has seriously reduced my acne. I’m on second or third jar (can’t remember) so I waited to review it. Is my acne completely gone? No. But I also don’t know if it ever will be completely gone but this has reduced it so much more than anything else. If I try to use something else, I break out like crazy. As soon as I use this again, my skin calms down. I use it as a cleansing balm and as a moisturizer all year round and I have had acne since I was 15 or 16 so I have used my fair share of different skincare products. This is IT!
I love Solstice! I was using a moisturizer at the end of last year, and my skin still felt really dry afterward. But with this balm, my skin feels hydrated. It's a beautiful, vibrant blue color, and I love the scent. I always want to have a jar of this in my routine.
Bought the Aurora cleansing balm as a gift for a friend because she loves it. Her skin has never looked better and her husband loves the scent.
I've been using this balm since 2013 and I will never stop. It's a favorite part of my daily routine. Once you start you'll never stop!
Luxurious and lovely. Equivalent to my first love Aurora:)
What initially sparked my interest in this antibacterial gel is the “moisturizing” aspect. As someone who works in healthcare, my hands are constantly drying out from all of the harsh alcohols and drying soaps. This product not only leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth, but the fragrance is really delightful. It’s a little citrus and a little herby. I was so pleasantly surprised! I also love that Jess sells refills in the shop so I can continue to re-use this cute bottle.
This sunscreen is nice. The scent is innocuous, it absorbs well, and the applicator is easy to use. This is my 2nd bottle and the consistency does seem to vary quite a bit between bottles. It is also a bit drying and slightly itchy for my skin unless I have a very good oil layer underneath. I would never apply it to my face without skincare underneath as I can tell it would dry me out. Not something I reach for every day but I do use it on my face before outdoor adventures.
These curated mini sets are so fun for finding the scent you like! Routine really has some unique scent mixes and it is well worth the time to trial a mini one first. The kits help narrow you down if you know what general profile you are looking for.
The minori champagne highlighter is beautiful. I have very sensitive eyes and skin and have not been able to wear any makeup in over 3 years. I decided to start with something small and this has been completely non-irritating. It adds a subtle shimmer to my eyelids & along my cheekbones. It makes me feel more put together but doesn’t make my eye lashes look undone. I’ve shied away from any eyeshadow as it can make my very fair eyelashes look even more invisible. But not this! Really happy with it.
I don’t only use this to wash my face, I also use this as a face mask. Calms my skin down when it is flaring up. I have really sensitive skin.
