The active ingredient of afteshave is witch hazel. The extract of this plant contains tannins, which have astringent and disinfectant properties. They tighten enlarged pores and normalize the fat balance. At the same time witch hazel does not dry the skin (unlike alcohol), as its pH is close to the natural for human skin — 5.5. Therefore, the balm is suitable for people with any skin type, both oily and sensitive.
The balm contains tocopherol (vitamin E) — a natural antioxidant that fights free radicals, thus rejuvenating the skin, and allantoin — it moisturizes and acts as an anesthetic. It relieves irritation and unpleasant itching after shaving.
Aftesheyve blends perfectly with citrus scented soaps and shaving creams.
