Dryness

Fragrance Description:
Kate McLeod’s bug-blocking blend of citronella, cedarwood, geranium, and lemongrass repels bugs naturally, while leaving a bright, clean citrus scent.

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Cocoa Butter: Packed with fatty acids to intensely nourish dry skin and lock in moisture.
- Citronella: An essential oil with a citrus scent that mosquitoes hate—and humans love.
- Cedarwood: A plant-based insect repellent with a lovely woody, earthy aroma.

Ingredient Callouts: Free of parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, sulfates SLS & SLES, triclocarban, triclosan, and contains less than one percent synthetic fragrance. It is also vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.

What Else You Need to Know: Bug Balm is a wax- and DEET-free insect repellent that doubles as a deeply moisturizing skin treatment. Unlike sticky sprays or heavy balms, this solid stick melts effortlessly into skin, delivering breathable hydration while keeping bugs at bay. Perfect for outdoor adventures and travel.

Kate McLeod creates nourishing, good-for-you products that help customers find magic moments of self-care in their everyday lives.

A former pastry chef, Kate understands the beauty of simple, homemade recipes made from whole, good-for-you ingredients. In her kitchen, synthetics are forbidden and quality reigns without compromise. Our innovative Body Stone solid moisturizers are waterless concentrates designed to intensely nourish the skin—a little goes a long way. By removing water from our formulas, we are able to create sustainable, plastic-free packaging and avoid some of the biggest culprits of waste in the beauty industry.

Our Hudson Valley workshop produces Kate’s recipes with integrity, care, and love. We keep our people and our process close to home, employing local chefs, bakers, and makers to create products that are handmade just for you.
