FOR FAIR FOLK & HOBBITSES
CRAFTED FOR SKIN SEEKING RENEWAL
Season: Spring
Scent Profile: Green gardens & blooming boughs
FAIREHAVEN IS...Sun warmed meadows overlaid with the lacy shade of blooming boughs still shimmering with morning dew, sunrise painting watercolor hues over a waking village.
Benefits: There are some folks who like a classic alcohol-based aftershave, "the hot sauce," it was called in barber school, but you don't need the burn to kill the beastlies - witch hazel does the job in this blend. In the barber chairs of Beardsgaard, clients often say they're sensitive to witch hazel, but what they're often experiencing is the burn of the alcohol used in the witch hazel distillate, not the witch hazel itself.
This soothing formula includes a special form of oat proteins that draw water into your skin, to deliver a silky feeling with the well-toned bounce our skin used to have in years past. Squalene and botanically-infused jojoba mimic your skin's natural oils, with the addition of powerful nutrients and benefits from real whole materials like lavender, chamomile and calendula.
These shave scent blends are made with more purpose than simply good smells. All of Fairehaven’s essential oils are chosen for their ancient reputations for hostility toward microscopic beastlies, and friendliness toward skin in need of calming, soothing renewal after a long winter.
Tips from the Alchemist: To keep these formulas as natural as possible, we opt to use only small amounts of emulsifying ingredients, it is advised to shake well before each use. As these aftershaves are made of almost entirely plant-based materials, some of which have small quantities of insoluble ingredients, some small plant constituents may remain in the bottle, but not in the sprayed aftershave.
How to Use Aftershave: Shake well before each use (oils may settle). After shaving, spray directly onto freshly shaved face and neck, scalp or legs and smooth into skin with your hands.
The Lore: In the Realm,shaded by acres of orchards with something always flowering or fruiting in the rolling foothills of Midgard sits the village of Fairehaven, an enclave of friendly Halflings that call every other villager kin, even if they share no bond of blood or marriage.
