Soothing Aftershave Balm

For some bearded friends, shaving feels like an everyday chore. Post-shave care is in need of an upgrade because irritation is never a good thing. As we explored the world of botanicals, we learned calendula is great for the face. Our #LEVOmade infusion combines the medicinal herb with peppermint and sandalwood, too. The skin could use all the soothing, moisturizing, and cooling effects post-shave. Nothing like a big smile to go with a smooth face leaving dad looking so dapper.

Pro tip: look for calendula at your local farmers market! It’s commonly known as marigold- just make sure it’s organic and pesticide free. 🙂

Ingredients

1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup beeswax
1/4 cup avocado oil
