Saponificio Varesino - Opuntia Shaving Soap, Special Edition Beta 4.3
Opuntia was first made as a special edition for Cosmoprof 2018. Its key ingredient is prickly pear extract (Opuntia ficus-indica), which forms a protective film on the skin and gives deep moisture. Your face is left soft and nourished after the shave.
The Formula
The soap is a triple-milled hard soap on the Beta 4.3 base. Larch extract helps skin hold moisture, castor oil adds glide, and manna, illipe and shea butter keep skin comfortable. The large 90 mm puck is extruded, cut by hand and stamped with a hammered logo. It comes in an aluminum tin with a metal label.
Fragrance notes: bergamot, pineapple, blackcurrant, birch, rose, jasmine, patchouli, vetiver, white musk, oakmoss.
