    The Solution To Stress-Induced Skin Conditions – NEW Plant-Based Soothing Serum By Stone & Tumble

    (Images credits to the original creators https://veganliftz.com/)

    Dry skin, acne, rosacea, redness, inflammation, irritation — the list goes on. There are countless factors that contribute to skin conditions, but did you know that stress is one of the leading causes?

    This new clean, plant-based skin serum, Stone & Tumble, that just launched at the beginning of 2020 with the goal to soothe and heal stressed skin for all skin types, genders, ages, and skin sensitivity levels.  Tested for maximum performance, you’ll never need to sacrifice your health for beauty.

    “I have been plagued with oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin. I noticed a reduction in breakouts, as well as helping to shrink my giant pores!” Zoë, Verified Amazon Shopper.

    The Soothing Serum is an effective concentrate that contains active, plant-based ingredients such as Cardiospermum, Echium Plantagineum, Sweet Almond, and Sunflower Seed oil to help heal, repair, rebalance, and calm irritated skin to reduce redness and dryness. This serum strengthens the skin’s natural defenses while minimizing the skin’s sensitized reaction.

    What’s Inside: ingredients such as Cardiospermum, Echium Plantagineum, Sweet Almond, and Sunflower Seed oil help heal and repair skin.

    • Cardiospermum has been tested and shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Very effective against irritation, redness, and itchiness. Also prevents moisture loss and is well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.

    • Echium Plantagineum is rich in fatty acids (linolenic and stearidonic) that make it a wonderful moisturizer. It helps repair the skin’s protective barrier, which improves hydration and reduces roughness.

    • Sweet Almond contains a blend of Vitamin A, E, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Zinc. It is anti-inflammatory and helps with puffiness, evens out skin tone, helps dissolve excess oil, and improve cell turnover.

    • Sunflower Seed Oil is noncomedogenic and won’t clog pores. It is effective for combatting skincare issues like acne, inflammation, general redness, and irritations of the skin.

    The Stone & Tumble Story: 

    Brianna, the founder and CEO of Stone & Tumble, always had fairly nice skin, but when she reached the height of her career, along with all stressors that go with it, all that changed. Her skin suddenly “freaked out” and she was left with cystic hormonal acne, rosacea, dryness, and hyperpigmentation to name a few.  Desperate to find a solution, she spent thousands of dollars on over the counter products and prescription medications that ended up doing more harm than good.  After research, she found that the ingredients were not helping to heal, but causing real damage to her skin.  From this, she made it her mission to create an all-encompassing product with natural ingredients to help heal and repair skin.  With the help of scientists and board-certified dermatologists she set out to work with skincare labs that had maximum certifications such as FDA registered, cGMP Compliant, and ISO 22716 Certifications, was how Stone & Tumble’s Soothing Serum was born.  Stone & Tumble’s Soothing Serum was born.  All production and testing are completed in the USA. Stone & Tumble is located just outside of San Francisco, California.

    The brand avoids harsh ingredients sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, mineral oils, petroleum, artificial dyes, and fragrance. Stone & Tumble is a cruelty-free company and never tests on animals.

After talking it over with my family, I decided to make a donation to No Kid Hungry, a non-profit organization that ensures kids who count on the meals they receive at school, continue to get the food they need to be healthy.”

    The Curiously Crafted Gifts for Mother’s Day, from Heathmade Los Angeles.

    About Heathmade Los Angeles:

    Heath Wilson’s entrepreneurial journey began at four years old as he attended a week-long potions lab to learn about the healing power of plants, herbs and aromatics. His first sales began at a school fair as he sold hand-crafted, alcohol-free hand sanitizer. He quickly acquired apothecary-like skills crafting products with ingredients such as essential oils, plant butters and other natural ingredients. Heath traded the fair booth for a business venture founding Heathmade. Today the brand carries an array of natural, cruelty-free products including lotion bars, lip balms, deodorant, a healing balm for the face and body, and Heath’s signature hand sanitizers. For more information, visit https://heathmadela.com/.
