KANANASKIS EXPLORER SHAVE SOAP

[tab name=”Description”]

Notes: Balsam Pine, Juniper Berries, Blue Spruce, Fir Needle, Tree Resin, Patchouli

“Great things are done when men and mountains meet.” – William Blake

Like taking a deep breath of fresh forest air in Kananaskis Country, a provincial park in the Alberta Rockies. Scented with various evergreens with added sweetness from tree resin and patchouli for a vanilla esque afternote.

Inspired by one of my favourite outdoor hotspots– Kananaskis Provincial Park. Not as famous or commercially developed as the nearby Banff National Park, but Kananaskis offers outdoor enthusiasts a rustic atmosphere with world class hiking, snowshoeing and backcountry camping.

*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.

Made with our Version 4 base.

[tab name=”About Our Soap”]

• This is a softer soap. Brush lathering works but is easy to overload!
• Made with four skin nourishing butters: shea butter, kokum butter, cocoa butter and mango butter
• 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.
• Hydrolyzed Oat Protein* is a moisturizer that enhances the moisturizing properties of our shave and imparts a velvet-like smoothness after drying.
• Silk and goat’s milk lend a luxurious creaminess to your shave.
• Superfatted with the oils of jojoba, pumpkin seed, ricebran and shea butter.
• Aloe Vera helps soothe the skin and makes for a better post shave feel.
• All of our fragrance oils are paraben and phthalate free.

*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.
