Moon Soaps Havana Aftershave Balm

The balm-format recovery option for the Havana protocol — a rich, conditioning formulation that carries the exotic tobacco-and-bergamot character of Havana into post-shave recovery with deep moisturisation and skin comfort. Recommended for operatives who prefer alcohol-free conditioning or those with drier skin profiles requiring additional nourishment.

Fragrance Profile

Havana presents an intoxicating blend of tobacco and bergamot — a warm, masculine opening of immediate presence and character. Middle Notes of vetiver, spices, musks, warm vanilla, and aged teak wood introduce an exotic, almost humid complexity that recalls the richly layered atmosphere of a Havana cigar room. The base maintains warmth and projection long after application — sophisticated, unhurried, and distinctly memorable.

Recovery

The Havana balm deploys an extensive conditioning matrix: sunflower oil and soya oil provide emollient richness, whilst jojoba, meadowfoam, and grapeseed oils contribute lightweight absorption and skin-barrier support. Goat milk delivers lactic acid-derived conditioning. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. Squalane oil ensures smooth, non-greasy absorption. Sea buckthorn, orchid extract, and aloe vera complete the recovery profile with antioxidant, soothing, and hydrating action. Menthol contributes a subtle cooling effect that bridges splash and balm format sensations.
