MacDuff's Soap Company Aftershave- Sapphire Bay

Notes: Bay Leaf, Clove, Pink Pepper, Mountain Herbs, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Vetiver, Oakmoss

High in the Rockies, the rivers run blue-green from glacial silt—stone ground to powder by ice that’s been carving mountains for ten thousand years. The water glows sapphire against the rock.

That uncanny alpine colour inspired the name.

Bay leaf and clove bring the classic warmth. Pink pepper cracks through the air. Juniper and sage sweep in next—clean, wild, and sharp as mountain wind.

Then the deeper ground appears.

Sandalwood and vetiver settle in like old timber in earth. Frankincense smoulders quietly beneath it all. Oakmoss lingers at the base—wet stone, forest floor, and the cool mineral breath of glacial water.

This is Bay Rum after a week in the Rockies.

About Their Splash

• Alcohol free witch hazel and aloe vera based splash
• Organic Jojoba oil and glycerine help the skin retain moisture (emollient).
• Uses Olivem, which is a water-soluble fat with sebum recovering activities (sebum is the oily, waxy substance produced by your body’s sebaceous glands). Olivem has strong emolliency and lubricant properties that offers a distinctive skin smoothness and long-term moisturizing effects.
• DL-Panthenol, or Vitamin B5 is used to rehydrate dry, damaged skin
• Hydrolyzed Oat Protein* and silk peptides enhance the moisturizing properties of their splash and imparts a velvet-like smoothness after drying.
• Allantoin is widely used in cosmetic, dermatological and pharmaceutical formulations for its soothing and anti-irritating properties. Allantoin stimulates healthy, normal tissue formation even at low concentrations.
• Grapefruit Seed Extract and Vitamin E are antioxidants that extend the life of their splash, but also have beneficial moisturizing properties.
• White Willow Bark is an astringent.
• All of their fragrance oils are paraben and phthalate free.
• As this is a water based product, they must use preservative to keep their aftershave splash free from bacteria and mould.

*The manufacturer states that the product is gluten free however because it is made from the proprietary hydrolysis of oats, there may be traces of gluten remaining. The manufacturer has tested several lots and all contained less than 20ppm gluten.
