The After Shave Balm is supplied in a container with an airless pump system. Thanks to the special technology of this container, no residue remains inside. The pump system works simply and always dispenses the same amount of balm. The labelling is discreet but very appealing and is limited to the essentials.
The instruction leaflet lists the ingredients in detail and refers to various analyses and test results.
Detailed information on the sustainability of the product can be found on the homepage.

We really enjoyed testing the AlphaBalm after-shave balm. The application of AlphaBalm was simple and straightforward. The consistency of the balm is light and pleasant, which makes it easy to apply and ensures that it is absorbed quickly. The scent is tangy, fresh and pleasant without being overpowering.
