2 oz / 60mL & 4oz/120mL

Who is it for

Aurora has been our best-seller since the beginning because it is so versatile, that nearly everyone can use it from head to toe.

Scent: Earthy orange creamsicle, or upscale chocolate orange, we hear both!
Texture: Mousse-like, vibrant yellow, easy to spread, super emollient.

How to use

There's no wrong way to use Aurora!

1. Use a chickpea sized amount, and warm between fingers. Massage into dry or wet skin and let the nutritious oils and butters be soaked up before gently wiping away with a warm, wet cloth. Work gentle into eyelashes to remove even waterproof mascara (can be used by those of us with sensitive eyes!). You will notice a milky emulsion occurs and can be rinsed away clean. You may splash with water if you like, for an extra-clean feel. Apply to dry face before hopping into the shower!

2. Again, using a chickpea-sized amount in the palm of your hand, slowly add a few drops of warm water, serum or mist and emulsify, creating a cleansing OR hydrating lotion that you can leave on clean skin, or rinse off as a second cleanse, like a milk cleanser.

3. Next, it can be used as a beauty balm moisturizer for face, body, lips and hair! Use on dry elbows, parched lips or fly-away hair or as a great after-shave balm! A perfect skin prep under your daily SPF!

4. Plop a scant teaspoon sized blob in a bowl, add honey, clay, a serum or mist and mix to create a custom mask.

5. Mix with mineral makeup for a custom foundation or highlighter, you crafty alchemist you! Use to blot out lipstick, or make a powder blush into a cream! 

NB: Essential oil content is well below recommended dermal limit, and are considered sunsafe, but wear SPF anyhow and do no apply right before intense sun exposure!

Story

A balm inspired by the simple pleasures that anchor your day. A quiet moment in the early morning, golden light beginning to pour in through the window. Speckles of sparkling dust caught in the sunshine, drifting silently as you sip your coffee and enjoy breakfast. The room is quiet, still, before the world wakes up. Your potted jade looks plump, the leaves catching rays of sunshine. Your cat grooms herself contentedly, stop for a moment and you stare at one another. You both feel it. It's going to be a good day. 

2x 30mL bottles of a custom-created formula just for you!

After a consultation and filling out a quick survey, I will create a product just for you, delivered in a hand-painted bottle (actually, in 2 hand-painted bottles!). 

The ingredients will be selected based on your skin goals, skin concerns or personal preferences. Choose from an infused-oil serum, water (floral water, juice, herbal tea etc) -based serum or gel, or an emulsion. You can also choose from a variety of weights (gel? light Oil serum? thick cream?), scented or not, and other preferences, or simply let me decide for you.
(Packaging will vary to accommodate formula.) 

As someone who had used Stark products in the past - City Recalibrating Oil, Petrichor Mist and Eclipse Cleanser I found myself using each one to the last drop. When I saw the Bespoke Experience, I thought about how effective those products were and how much I preferred them to all the other products in my skincare arsenal - and if I invested the money in skincare that was tailored for me, wouldn’t that be a better value and the best products just for me? The experience was terrific, comprehensive and indeed, tailored for me! I received speciality products created by hand for me that are made for my skin, and my skincare concerns. The cost is actually a bargain - for an intentionally crafted, natural skincare routine. Whether you are new to Stark skincare or already have your favorite products, you should definitely get the Bespoke experience - you won’t regret it.

Story:

Together you ran laughing and hollering from the street corner and leaped over a great puddle and into the park's front gates. Like wild children you ran the gravel paths, winding through the great coniferous trees. The rain comes down so hard it's impossible to pretend that you might make it home dry, and so you playfully kick water from a puddle and watch the stream of water disappear into the falling droplets. Blocks away, traffic rages on. But in this park, you are protected.

Beautiful & simple, cold-processed glacial clay soap, rich in minerals, gentle on the hands and body, and scented like a cedar sauna!

Glacial clay is formed in the Canadian Rockies by the sediment left behind by the movement of ancient glaciers. Glacial clay contains phytoplankton and other mineral-rich deposits, and is known to deeply cleanse skin without dehydrating.

Housed in a cotton muslin bag which can be used as a soap saver.

Like all soap and bar-products, use a soap dish and keep your soap out of water so your soap bar lasts a long time and stays hard.

Scent: cedarwood, lavender, eucalyptus.

Size: roughly 130g (4.5 oz.) bar. As these are hand-made, each is a little unique. 
Vegan

Ingredients

INCI: Saponified Oils of Olea Europaea (Olive), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut), Purified Water, Ricinus  Communis (Castor Oil) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Lavandula Angustifolia Oil  (Lavender), Juniperus Ashei (Cedarwood), Eucalyptus Globulus Oil (Eucalyptus), Vegetable Glycerin,  Sodium Lactate, Titanium Dioxide, Activated Charcoal, Sea Silt (Canadian Glacial Clay)

I wanted a concentrated, one-and-done product that was essentially skincare for itchy scalp, and a treatment for delicate hair. Helios was made for my medium-fine, wavy hair that tends to get really dry and damaged easily, but doesn't love heavy conditioners with oils and butters.

-Jess

No other in-shower product needed for your hair... AND this is a concentrate, so one bottle is equal to about 3! Cleanse, soothe, stimulate and hydrate the scalp while gently cleansing, strengthening and conditioning fine hair (yes, even long, fine hair!).

Sunflower extracts nourish the scalp with vitamin F (helps topically with inflammation), polyphenols and antioxidants, while fortifying the hair's cortex, creating stronger, more resilient hair strands.

The most gentle, low-foam surfactants to cleanse scalp and hair using micelles, without stripping natural oils so scalp is cleansed without being irritated.

Light-yet-effective conditioners, panthenol (provitamin B5) and hydrolyzed oat protein keeps hair strong yet flexible, and never weighed down, with natural texture supported to live it's best life. This does not rough up the hair's cuticle, like many "volumizing" hair products do as that damages the hair long-term. 

Please read the How-To-Use as this is not a conventional 2-in-1 or co-wash!

240 mL (8 oz) in a recycled, recyclable PET resin bottle and flip dispenser cap.

Who is it for

Fine to medium-fine wavy hair that hates being weighed down, needs a little extra TLC for the scalp and extra treatment for dry ends.

Scent: A fresh floral with a little green and a pinch of spice. A different take on rose and lavender.

Texture: Creamy, yellow goop. A little goes a long way!

How to use

Helios feels and acts differently than regular shampoos and conditioners. It does not foam like regular shampoo, and it does not make hair slimy like regular conditioner. You may feel like it's not doing anything at first (at least while you're in the shower!), so you'll just have to trust me on this! The results happen when your hair (air) dries.

The key is how you use it, so remember the double S&M when you're in the shower with Helios:

SOAK: Squeeze out a quarter sized glob, emulsify in wet hands and apply evenly onto a soaking wet scalp. As this is a concentrate, adequate water is vital for Helios to do it's job!

SATURATE: Make sure you work your hands through your scalp, then hair, quick and lightly, as if you are adding a lotion to your hair. Your scalp and hair needs to be saturate with just a light coat of Helios, but do make sure you get it all over.

MASSAGE: The most important step to getting your scalp clean is to really touch it! Carefully and thoroughly massage scalp with finger tips (NEVER nails) starting from the scalp, working your way to the crown, around your ears, then to the back of the head. This is a micellar cleanser, and will not produce a big lather.

Slide down hair shaft to deeply condition hair. Remember, hair won't feel slick and slimy, but trust the process!

MARINATE: Let product sit on hair for 5-10 minutes (or longer) to allow it to do it's thing.

Rinse thoroughly.

For longer/thicker hair, apply an extra quarter-sized glob to mid-lengths, work it through gently, gliding downwards. 

Not necessary to follow up with conditioner. This is not a leave-in product, please follow with Stark's hair serum AirJelly (when available).

Can be used daily.

For infrequent hair washers or if you use very heavy styling products, repeat process if absolutely necessary.

Story

Although this is your first time in a citrus grove at dusk, you can't help but feel this distinctly familiar feeling. It must be the scent; a fresh, uplifting floral with both a familiar citrus heart and an earthy warmth that you sense equally by your nose and somewhere deep in your body. "I must have been a Queen who bathed in neroli blossoms in a former life," you muse to yourself as you weave randomly between the stout, knotted trees. Suddenly, you slip on a ripe orange that fell beneath a tree, and although you are pulled down to the ground and feel the wet grass in your hair and the warm earth beneath your body, you are not at all hurt and laugh so hard that tears roll down your face. You have been reminded to slow down, to enjoy the stillness of the evening, to celebrate youthful joy as it comes and to take a deep breath. You look up at the branches overhead, heavy with fragrant fruit, and just beyond, watch the night sky appear, star by star.

Ingredients

Ferulic acid, an incredibly potent antioxidant found in nearly every plant seed, boosts the effects of the other antioxidants, like the green tea extract, and the Oleuropein in the olive leaf extract... and some studies show may even work better in the presence of UV! (Be sure to wear SPF anyhow.)

Witch Hazel, native to eastern Canada, tones skin, helps reduce inflammation and irritation and makes pimples vanish quicker.

Aloe is an all-round skin superhero, with soothing and nourishing properties.

Green tea, rich in ECGC, is a great antioxidant and all-round do-gooder.

Petrichor, Eclipse and City at a special price!

We've combined the 3 best Stark products for dewy-soft, clear summer skin in one kit so you can save a few $ (and splurge on a gelato, perhaps?)

•  Eclipse is a refreshing black gel cleanser than can also be used as a mask. It gently exfoliates using sugar enzymes, but it also plumping and soothing with ingredients like allantoin and panthenol. Store it in your shower for a flash mask/cleanse session.
  Ideal for skin that tends to get oily, combination skin, skin that's got both fine lies and some acne and for tropical climates. 
  Scent is citrus, cardamom and cedarwood and it's 120 mL (about 4 fl oz)
  

• A refreshing skin tonic that helps protect skin from the environment with super-antioxidant ferulic acid, rhodiola and green tea extract, while soothing skin with grape seed, shitake and effective NMF (natural moisture factor) humectants like sodium PCA and glycerin, purifying with white willow bark and helping undo environmental stress with olive leaf extract. Hydrating; does not make skin feel tight or parched. A serum in mist form!
  
  
• The star of this group, IMO is probably City Light Daytime Oil. City contains sustainably-sourced oils that have *some* sun-protective qualities (such as rice bran and raspberry seed oil) and THA vitamin C, a very stable and non-irritating (and crazy expensive, I might add) form of vitamin C, which help your skin's natural defense against the sin's rays (WEAR SPF ANYHOW... City enhances SPF, it does not replace it!). Also contains ultra-lightweight hemisqualane (which is half molecular-weight squalane, derived from very sustainable sugarcane, making it very light but JUICY and substantive). City works amazingly well as a primer, prepping skin without greasing it up, or even as a night time oil on very hot and humid nights.
