WESTMAN Bastardo formula Nirvana artisan shaving soap 120g
All of Westman shaving products are traditionally handcrafted by Tiago Sousa in his laboratory in Portugal
The Nirvana Soap Base
The Nirvana soap base is nothing but a natural evolution of Westman's original soap base and what we learned from the old formula. The modifications result in greater rentability, improved lather consistency, slickness, as well as a comfortable, skin-loving post-shave feel.
Changes include new ingredients such as broccoli seed oil instead of apricot kernel oil for better absorption by the skin. The inclusion of dimethicone due to its excellent lubricating properties. In addition, the simplification of the formula, which contains fewer saponified fats, allows us to increase the concentration of the really important fats such as kokum butter and mango butter to obtain a denser and shinier lather. Other key ingredients include tallow, lanolin, jojoba oil, avocado oil and many more
Bay Leaf, Orange, Rum accord, Spices, Woods, Vanilla, Patchouli
Bastardo opens with an Orange note mostly from the natural orange essential oil, which is fresh and juicy, complemented with a dash of other aromatic materials to provide a woody and waxy nuance
A selection of spices and woods in small amounts enhace the characteristic scent of the Bay Leaf, the main spice component of this fragrance. Bay St. Thomas leaf essential oil, also known as West Indian Bay oil, is renowned for its warm, spicy and aromatic profile. A rich, herbaceous scent, with hints of clove, cinnamon, and eucaliptus
Ever present is the sweet sugary Rum accord with a tobacco/woody facet to it.
Then a dash of Vanilla to balance the spicy notes with a warm, comforting undertone, and the ageless Patchouli essential oil to bring some earthiness depth to the scent profile, enhancing the richness of the bay leaf and complementing the rum and orange notes
With a concise choice of natural and synthetic raw materials, we have captured the harmony of the traditional Bay Rum scent, while also making it more captivating and enduring
