Saponificio Varesino Stella Alpina Beta 4.2 – Shaving Soap 150g

From the vendor:

Stella Alpina is our second shaving soap based on the Beta 4.2 Formulation.

Similarly to its predecessor, the Cosmo shaving soap, Stella Alpina is featured by a fantastic post-shave effect. By adding the Edelweiss Extract*(Leontopodium Alpinum) and Hazelnut Oil (Corylus Avellana), together with a new balancing of the other ingredients, we improved its overall performances during the shave.

The soap puck comes in a container of transparent PET meant to be used as a “cartridge” inside our bowls (wood bowls: mahogany or walnut ) giving the possibility to switch between the various soap pucks. The soap puck, without the PET container, can also be used into our beautiful resin bowls: faux horn, faux tortoise-shell, faux ivory).

Please note: the PET cup is not meant to be used as a bowl itself.

The main soap features are:

•     100% vegetable (except fragrance)
•     NO PALM OIL (against deforestation)
•     NO preservatives/chelating agents/antioxydants of chemical origin
•     NO petroleum derivatives, mineral oils, dyes, parabens
•     NO EDTA – SLS – BHT – SLES – PEG

Usage advice

• cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for few minutes. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on your water hardness and the rate of humidity of the soap, a correct quantity is when the whole soap surface is covered by water,
• soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best perfomer when it comes to water absorbing),
• rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the knot, and then start loading (20-30 seconds),
• face/bowl lather without adding water.

This product contributes to the fight against deforestation:

Soap 100% vegetable, NO PALM OIL. For the saponification we use only FOOD GRADE vegetable oils , of which 50% oil COCONUT. A soap of the highest quality, with moisturizing and foaming properties. This is our contribution to the protection of forests, whose main cause of deforestation, is the consumption of palm oil.
