Aromatic Fern – Shaving Soap 150g

Our first Shaving Soap, born as a prototype and gradually developed up to the “Beta 4.0” version, is now available in our best Beta 4.3 formulation. Enriched with Dryopteris filix-mas root extract (Male Fern), it has skin-balancing qualities.

The new aluminum jar, with screw lid and more robust structure than the previous container, is the demonstration of a step forward in accordance with the requests of our customers.

Scent Description

The fragrance opens with the sparkling notes of Bergamot, Lemon and Tangerine. Then we come to the body, characterized by the spiciness of the Ginger root and Sichuan Pepper, all accompanied by the heady freshness of the Bourbon Geranium leaves.
