Description
Cedarwood has a divinely woody scent but is also packed with beneficial properties (we only ever use essential oils that have a beneficial purpose, it’s never just about the scent) that include being stress relieving & excellent for skin conditions such as dermatitis. The base oil is grapeseed which a light but moisturising, without greasiness, making it perfect for a smooth shave that doesn’t clog up your razor or your pores!
Grapeseed oil is a non comedogenic oil (non pore clogging) and is rich in vitamin E which helps prevent damage to the body from free radical damage. Some natural oils are good for your hair, but they can also leave it feeling oily and weighed down. Grapeseed oil is lightweight and doesn’t have that effect. When applied to your hair, grapeseed oil adds moisture, strength, and shine. Grapeseed oil contains high levels of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help control acne by decreasing clogged pores. It has been said that acne-prone skin has been found to be deficient in linoleic acid which can cause the skin’s natural oil (sebum) to become thicker thus leading to clogged pores. Therefore, with it being excellent for both the hair and skin is the reason why we chose this special oil for use in our shaving oils.
Cedarwood essential oil is naturally antiseptic, antimicrobial and antifungal and an astringent. This combination renders is ideal for skin conditions such as eczema and spot prone skin. Abundant in anti-inflammatory compounds, cedarwood is excellent for easing aches, pains and general stiffness. If you’re having trouble sleeping, then cedarwood can come to the rescue with its ability to relax and sedate the body.

I use this for shaving my legs and really really love it! It’s really easy to use and it leaves behind a bit of oily residue which sinks in after showering and means I don’t even have to moisturise afterwards.

Thank you Emily! We’re so pleased you love it and also that it serves a dual purpose – shaving and moisturising!
