Kate McLeod sells waterless body moisturizer, solid lotion bars you warm between your hands instead of squeezing out of a bottle. The Stones, as everything is called. It began in a Brooklyn kitchen and now runs out of a workshop in the Hudson Valley, small batch, a narrow catalog, everything poured rather than manufactured.
The End of Summer Sale is live until the 25th of August, up to 40% off select stones and balms, with a free Mini Travel Bag thrown in on anything over $100. That’s the markdown, and it’s already on the shelf before you do anything.
MEGAN15 is the separate piece. Fifteen percent, no minimum to clear first, dropped into the single discount field at checkout, and storewide is the word doing the work there because most of the other codes circulating for this brand come fenced off to a category and this one doesn’t. It goes on after the sale price rather than instead of it, which is where the actual number lives.
Two Daily Stones in the reusable bamboo canister, full size at $48 each, went in at $96.00 and came out at $81.60, savings line reading $14.40, shipping row still blank because I hadn’t entered an address yet.

The Code Lands On Top of the Sale Price, Not Instead of It
This is the part that makes the week worth bothering with. The End of Summer markdowns are already sitting on the shelf, and MEGAN15 comes off after them, so the reduced figure is your starting point and the 15% comes out of that.
| Product | List | Sale price | With MEGAN15 | Off list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amber & Vanilla Pebble bath & shower oil | $42 | $25 | $21.25 | 49% |
| Spicy Cacao lotion bar | $38 | $23 | $19.55 | 49% |
| The Bug Balm insect repellent | $38 | $25 | $21.25 | 44% |
| Foot Stone solid foot moisturizer | $38 | $27 | $22.95 | 40% |
| The Tote Bag | $18 | $10 | $8.50 | 53% |
Up to 40% off is what the banner promises and the banner is quoting the markdown on its own. Run the code through afterwards and the top of that table clears 49%, which is a $42 bath oil landing at twenty one dollars and change.
Full Price Stock Takes the Same 15%
Nothing is fenced off, which is the whole point of a storewide code and the reason mine worked on a basket that never touched the sale collection. Daily Stone, the Custom Care Sets, the Everywhere Stick, all full price, all down 15% the moment the code goes in. A $48 solid lotion bar hands back $7.20 and settles at $40.80.
So there’s no sorting to do before you shop. Sale rack, full price shelf, the code doesn’t care.
Why the $100 Gift Threshold Is a Trap at Exactly $100
One box, one code, and GIFT100 wants the same box MEGAN15 does. Cross a hundred dollars with GIFT100 and a tote and wristlet come with it, cross the same line with MEGAN15 and you keep $15.
Except the Tote Bag is $10 on the sale page right now, and $8.50 once the code touches it, so buying it outright and keeping the percentage leaves you six and a half dollars up with the identical tote in the parcel. That narrows GIFT100 down to people who want the wristlet more than six dollars. Past $120 it stops being a question at all, take the percentage.
Separately, the free Mini Travel Bag on orders over $100 comes from the sale rather than a code, so it isn’t competing for the same field.
FACEBALM20, NOURISH10 and the Word Select
Twenty percent off face balm items, ten percent off select items, and select is carrying an enormous load in both of those descriptions. FACEBALM20 is worth typing if the basket is face-only, twenty beats fifteen and a rejected code costs you nothing but the retype. NOURISH10 is the weakest thing on the list, ten percent on some items against fifteen percent on all of them, and there’s no basket shape where it comes out as the right answer.
The mailing list offer, somewhere between 10% and 15%, reads like a fifth option and isn’t one. It lands on your next order, not the one in front of you.
Applying MEGAN15 at Checkout
Basket first, then the discount field down the right hand side, then a look at the savings line before you pay rather than after. Build it out of the End of Summer collection at Kate Mcleod. where the markdowns are deepest, stack whatever full price pieces you actually want on top, and put the code in last so you can watch what it takes off the total.
Three days on the clock, 19 to 25 August 2026, or until stock runs out, whichever arrives first. Spicy Cacao at $19.55 and the Amber & Vanilla Pebble at $21.25 are the two I’d expect to vanish first, and while supplies last means something particular for a small-batch operation pouring everything in a Hudson Valley workshop rather than shipping from a warehouse. The version of this week that costs you money is the one where you buy off the sale page, feel pleased with 40% off, and never type the six characters that would have taken it to nearly half. Do it in that order, code last, and it’s this week rather than eventually.
