MacDuff's Soap Company Aftershave- Birch and Root

BIRCH + ROOT

Birch Bark, Bergamot, Blue Spruce, Fir Balsam, Fir Needle, Vanilla, Wintergreen, Anise, Clove, Ginger, Cedarwood, Vanilla

Smells like the last honest root beer—birch bark syrup mixed by hand, wintergreen drifting through an old prairie diner, spruce and fir sneaking in every time the door swings open to big Alberta sky.

It starts with traditional birch bark with bergamot—clean and bright. Blue spruce, fir balsam, and fir needle lay down a green backbone that keeps it fresh but grounded. Wintergreen and anise bring that root beer fizz, all nostalgia and soft echoes of simpler days.

Clove and ginger warm it up, cedarwood keeps it sturdy and familiar, and vanilla smooths it all out—sweet but not sticky, comforting but still a little wild around the edges.

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.
