Yucca Root (Yucca elata) - Yucca is a natural cleanser and an ancient Native American remedy for dryness. Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) - Irish-Moss is known for its high content of carrageenans, which are often used as a vibrant vegan substitute to gelatin. It is also an amazing natural alternative to synthetic emollients in beauty products. In this shave cream, it is used for its helpful herbal properties, caressing the skin with a soothing embrace. Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) - The gooey offerings of this root give us an unexpected emollient that is softening and balancing. Marshmallow is used to moisten dry, rough skin, soothe psoriasis, reduce redness, bring balance to overly dry or overly oily skin, and soften dry, cracked nipples that have become sore from nursing. Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) - Slippery Elm is a mucilangenic herb with slippery, soothing benefits that help to soften the skin. Slippery Elm comes from the bark of the tree native to North America. It slips moisture into skin to prevent dryness and redness after shaving.

As an herbal infusion, Chickweed offers soothing lubrication to the skin. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) - Aloe Vera is a magical, succulent plant that grows in warmer climates. It has a sturdy leaf which offers a clear, gelatinous pulp. This pulp creates an incredibly soothing balm for delicate skin. Offering pitch-perfect levels of hydration, Aloe has magnificent properties that seep into the skin to relax redness and puffiness. Our Aloe Vera offers a double dose of moisturising protection for the skin. As a naturally-occurring moisturiser, it sinks into skin, locking in moisture. At the same time, Aloe Vera forms a breathable, porous layer on top of the skin to keep moisture in and keep the rest out. Orange Wax (Citrus aurantium) - This winsome wax is extracted from the pressed peels of Oranges and contains fabulous phytosterols. It creates a natural emulsifier that enhances the stability of the crème and entwines the ingredients together. Peppermint (Mentha piperita) - Peppermint feels nice like ice! It cools and soothes hot, red skin and is reputed to neutralise excessively oily skin and moisturise dry patches. Our zippy Peppermint oil is distilled from fresh leaves, and one drop is a juicy wakeup call for the skin and soul.
