MacDuff's Soap Company Shave Soap- Icefields Parkway

Notes: Eucalyptus Dives, Spearmint, Cornmint, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus Globulus

"Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery." - John Ruskin

Icefields Parkway is a highway that connects Jasper and Banff National Park and really is an unbelievable drive. Coming home from their BC trips, they always add a couple hours to an already long day and take this route (provided it's not closed due to excessive snowfall), exiting at the Saskatchewan River Crossing which sees a young North Saskatchewan river that we meet back up with again in Edmonton.

It's fitting then that this scent uses one of Sean's favourite essential oils, Eucalytpus Dives-- otherwise known as "broad leaf peppermint." It takes the best elements of both peppermint and eucalyptus and makes for a sweet, *very* mild and almost buttery take. Since the name "Icefields" demands it, he added in some spearmint, cornmint, peppermint and just a touch of cedarwood and the more traditional eucalyptus most are already familiar with.

There is no menthol added to this soap, but since it's naturally occuring in some of the essential oils used you can expect to find some cooling effect with this soap.

*For the most recent batch (Nov 2021) I've been forced to switch back to powdered green tea extract which has considerably darkened the soap, which you might be familiar with if you've used my V3 base. This is not due to vanilla.

• We are proud to include beef tallow sourced from a family run farm in southern Alberta that is both certified grass fed and humane.
• Made with four skin nourishing butters: fair trade raw organic shea butter, kokum butter, fair trade cocoa butter and mango butter
• Green Tea extract is a rich source of antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E
• Tremella extract is high in vitamin D, has strong water-binding capacities, easily penetrates the skin's layers, forming a protective film of moisture that transforms the look and feel of dryness and roughness.
