Seven Potions Post Shave Balm

An award-winning balm that Seven Potions developed to calm razor rash caused by sensitivity or dryness. It is light and quick to absorb, so a little covers the face and leaves no greasy finish.

Performance

A balm format, not a splash: no alcohol is listed, so it soothes rather than stings. Witch hazel, babassu oil and cocoa butter do the calming; barley seed and cucumber extracts add antioxidants; jojoba oil helps the skin hold its moisture. Seven Potions says it works best after its own pre-shave oil and shaving cream. The scent is a natural fragrance whose notes the maker does not publish.
