Post Shave Balm

We’ve taken the time-honoured healing properties of eight oils, plus avocado, mango butter and candelilla, and combined them into a natural remedy to follow the everyday shave.
Fortified with vitamin E to promote the skin’s elasticity and youthfulness, our balm uses elemi essential oil to add lustre and sheen, toning, tightening and promoting healing at the cellular level. Naturally antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, it calms the everyday irritations that follow shaving, and taps into the power of black pepper berries to smooth lines, soothe skin and stimulate the senses.

Main benefits

• Suitable for even the most sensitive, dry or oily skin
• Rich in vitamins C and E to nourish skin and fight the signs of ageing
• Rapidly absorbed into skin for a quick and convenient post-shave conditioner

• Carries the powerful, pleasing aroma of black pepper to invigorate skin and senses alike

We recommend for all your treatments to be stored out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place. As our products are 100% natural and made without synthetic stabilising chemical, with the balms and scrubs if you accidentally leave too long in the heat, the texture may become looser, in this instance just leave in the fridge and the treatment will return back to its usual consistency.

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil

Prunus armeniaca

A fast-absorbing, non-greasy emollient, apricot kernel oil is ideal for firming, tightening and toning skin. Packed with vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as unsaturated fatty acids, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid and stearic acid, this light and easy-to-apply oil is known to reduce dark circles while nourishing and moisturising skin deeply.

Avocado Butter

Avocado Butter

Avocado butter

A natural way to bring skin to life, avocado butter is a delicate combination of shea butter, cocoa butter and avocado oil that hydrates and lightens for a vibrant, healthy look. Containing the antioxidant vitamins A, E and D, it targets the free radicals that can age skin, preventing and reducing wrinkles and age spots – and it even acts as a natural sunscreen.

Mango Butter

Mango Butter

Mangifera indica

Firm-textured with surprisingly little aroma, mango butter is an emollient that’s perfect for softening, smoothing, moisturising and protecting all skin types. Fittingly, coming from trees that can reach over 300 years old, the butter is effective at fighting signs of ageing, as well as clearing blemishes and relieving itching and irritation. Just as fittingly, coming from the tropics, it also provides an excellent screen against UV.

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil

Prunus amygdalus dulcis

As far back as ancient Egypt, almonds have been icons of health and beauty. This oil, cold-pressed from kernels, is an exceptional moisturiser, rich in vitamins A and E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc, which makes it a nourishing remedy for relieving dark circles, promoting smooth, supple skin, and soothing aching muscles. Also containing B-complex vitamins and iron, it can even strengthen nails just as it cleanses deep within pores and helps reduce the signs of ageing.

Moringa Oil

Moringa Oil

Moringa oleifera

Increasingly popular in the latest skin treatments, moringa oil is an exotic, highly sought-after ingredient thanks to its many rejuvenating qualities and antioxidants. Containing 72% oleic acid, the oil quickly penetrates skin deeply, delivering nutrients that naturally cleanse, combat signs of ageing, moisturise, and heal minor skin problems. Long used in Asia and Africa, it’s the secret to radiant skin that’s now available across the world.

Candelilla Wax

Candelilla Wax

Euphoribia cerifera wax

A wax taken from a desert shrub native to Mexico and the US – the name means ‘little candle’ – this is an odourless, vegan-friendly substitute for beeswax. Rich in nutrients and quickly absorbed into hair and skin, it forms a barrier to lock in moisture, while acting as a natural astringent, emulsifier, stabiliser and conditioner.

Argan Oil

Argan Oil

Argiana spinosa

Obtained from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, argan oil is a softening, hydrating moisturiser. A silky, luxuriously golden extract, rich in vitamin E, fatty acids and antioxidants, it’s perfect for soothing dry or irritated skin – as well as being a naturally antibacterial treatment for nails, hands, hair and all over the body.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E

Tocopherol

E is for elasticity. Specifically, vitamin E strengthens capillary walls while improving moisture, giving skin a healthy, youthful appearance. It also reduces inflammation, complete with antioxidants that protect from signs of ageing, as well as damage from UV and pollution. E is also for easy: our plant-based form of vitamin E is simpler for the body to absorb – ideal to help quickly strengthen, restore and nourish skin and hair.

Black Pepper Essential Oil

Black Pepper Essential Oil

Piper nigrum

Its high concentration of vitamin C makes the essential oil of black pepper naturally high in antioxidant, antibacterial and antibiotic properties. Steam-distilled from almost-ripe berries, it’s also rich in potassium, magnesium, iron and vitamin K, helping to smooth lines, wrinkles and dark spots – all while invigorating muscles, joints, digestion and the immune system, and stimulating the senses.

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Clary Sage Essential Oil

Salvia sclarea

With a soothing fragrance that can relieve stress and depression, this oil, sustainably sourced from the South of France, can also balance and clarify cosmetically. With anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it protects the skin while regulating oiliness, toning as an astringent, and cooling irritation – as well as promoting a sense of calm, wellbeing and relaxation.

Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosmarinus officinalis

Approved by the German Commission E scientific advisory board, rosemary oil is a hugely beneficial ingredient both for the skin and beneath it. As well as toning and moisturising, it promotes circulation and flushes out toxins, removes stretch marks and evens the complexion, relieves muscle pain and arthritis – and can even boost mental activity. A popular oil with a world of benefits for healthy bodies.

Elemi Essential Oil

Elemi Essential Oil

Canarium luzonicum

Well regarded as an effective remedy for body and mind, elemi adds lustre and sheen to the skin while toning and tightening it. It can also be used to treat skin conditions and ageing skin, promoting new cell growth while protecting through its inherent antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.
