A clean, plant-based shaving cream designed for a smooth, irritation-free shave—infused with fir balsam, clove and vanilla for a fresh, woodsy scent.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Instantly creates a slick, cushiony barrier between skin and razor, reducing nicks, razor burn, and dryness.

  • Lightweight texture that rinses clean without residue.

  • Crafted with natural, biodegradable ingredients—ideal for all skin types, including sensitive.

  • Signature scent: woodsy fir balsam, spiced clove and warm vanilla.

  • Concentrated formula in 250 ml bottle lasts 3 times as long as regular shaving cream.

Hero Ingredients & Why They Matter

  • Fir Balsam Essential Oil – delivers a crisp, evergreen aroma and supports a grounded, refreshed feel.

  • Clove Essential Oil – adds a warm spicy accent and helps tone the skin — great in a shaving formula.

  • Virgin Coconut Oil – provides rich slip for the razor and leaves skin soft and hydrated post-shave.

  • Aloe Vera Juice – calms and supports the barrier post-shave, reducing irritation and redness.

Who It’s For

  • Anyone who shaves regularly and want a premium, deeply effective grooming product.

  • Ideal for normal to sensitive skin; also excellent for those prone to razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

  • Great if you prefer clean, natural personal care—no synthetic propellants, only biodegradable support.

FAQ

Q: Will this shave cream cause irritation if my skin is sensitive?
A: It’s formulated with gentle, plant-based ingredients and organic extracts—suitable for sensitive skin. But if you’re highly reactive, patch test first.

Q: Does it foam like conventional shave creams?
A: It has a silky glide texture rather than thick foam. Some users notice less bubble, but better slip and comfort.

Q: What is the scent like?
A: A clean, woodsy evergreen note from fir balsam, accented by spicy clove and a soft vanilla finish.

Q: Is it vegan / cruelty-free?
A: Yes—plant-based, biodegradable ingredients and no synthetic propellants.

Clean, masculine scent and nice lather

I was impressed by the quality of this product. It can be easily applied by hand, but it goes on beautifully thick if you use a shaving brush. This will help to give you a clean shave. The shaving cream has a distinctive clean and masculine scent.

Smooth, comfortable shave

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. The first time he tried it he had 3 days growth. This usually results in an uncomfortable shave. But this gave him the smoothest shave he's ever had. Will definitely continue using this.

Like it

Great product however doesn't really lather. Just had to get used to using a bit more

Cocoon Apothecary

Thank you for your feedback. Our Shave does lather when used with water, however it will not foam up like a conventional shaving cream. The texture is more silky to create a smooth glide that prevents irritation.
