Three in one for hair, beard and body. This is a body wash, shampoo and conditioner that is paraben-free, sulfate-free and PH-balanced to leave your skin healthy and protected against free radicals. Macadamia glycerides, hydrolyzed quinoa and Jojoba esters add protein and repair damaged hair. Ginger, clove, coconut, French vanilla, and star anise create a masculine fragrance that lasts all day.
Lucky Tiger - Disappearing Cream
This aftershave cream includes menthol which helps to calm and cool the face while tightening up pores. The addition of aloe vera soothes out any razor burn and bumps while moisturising and refreshing for soft hydrated skin. Imported from the USA and a classic from Lucky Tiger that has stood the test of time.
Lucky Tiger - Acne And Blemish Soap
Formulated with 5% sulphur that naturally kills bacteria and removes excess oils from the skin. The soap will help to prevent acne and pimples from forming and will help heal current outbreaks. Includes aloe vera and has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Unclogs pores and removes built-up dirt. Use the soap where acne and blackheads form, leave on for 1-2 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Baxter of California - Facial Scrub
Specially formulated for men, this scrub restores smoothness and youthful vitality to skin. Cornmeal and walnut shell powder gently buff away dead skin cells and other impurities. Honey extracts brighten and condition while chamomile and lavender soothe any inflammation.
