Every once in a while a fragrance hits your nose and you instantly know this one is going to appeal to a lot of men, I am talking regular hard-working chaps who are not into designer labels and fine fragrances, just pure testosterone jammed into a balm, the type that makes that classy lady in high heels look over her shoulder when you pass her by in the street wearing simple stuff like jeans a t-shirt and vellies without socks. If you have some Tamboti furniture in your house that is not caked over with huge amounts of varnish, take your hand and rub it hard until the oils from the wood heats up and releases its fragrance, that right there....that is close to what we were aiming for, a dark, musky fragrance laced with African Hardwood scents. Simple, honest, manly.
Base notes are Amberwood, Oud, Tobacco leaf and 'some other' woody notes, middle notes are Jasmin, Black Suede and Leather, and top notes are Rasberry, Saffron, Thyme and Francincense.
The name 'My Bliksem' was derived from the amazement we experienced when we first compared this product to other mainstream products that are out there. Typical utterances you may need to exclaim are; 'My Bliksem die goed voel bedonnerd lekker op my vel' or 'My Bliksem hoekom vind ek nou eers uit van die puik produk', or 'My Bliksem man, wie het gesê jy mag MY MB gebruik!!!??? If you use Google to translate phrases above you may think I am talking about the weather, I'm not, just know it feels damn good on the skin!
Use less product in the mornings and apply more liberally before bedtime. This balm can be used at any time and anywhere, so keep a few jars at home, work, in the sports bag and even in your car, use whenever you feel a bit ‘rough and dry’. The balm will also do an excellent job anywhere on your body where relief is required from burns, chafing, insect bites and dry skin.
This balm is unlike anything out there, it is made right here in South Africa using only natural main ingredients sourced from small scale farmers and businesses. This balm is highly concentrated and is very economical, it contains no water, preservatives or chemicals so a little goes a long way, a dollop as small as your pinky finger nail or less is all that is required to cover your entire face and neck area. If your skin looks too shiny or feels oily after massaging into your face and neck for 30 to 60 seconds, you are more than likely using too much, it is really that simple. Unlike most modern balms and aftershaves there are no liquids that will evaporate after application, whatever you apply is absorbed by your skin, feeding, protecting and nourishing it to a state of natural well being.
The main ingredient for this series of balms is Highveld grass fed tallow that have been processed by using water directly from the earth and coarse sea salt from the Kalahari desert, to this we have added some lovely plant oils and butters; Virgin cold pressed Olive oil from the fairest Cape, Shea butter all the way from Ghana, Beeswax and Propolis from Gauteng and a touch of cold pressed Coconut oil from beautiful Mozambique. Perfectly natural skin food made for folks who can distinguish between buying a great product versus dropping cash on an extensively marketed brand. The base notes for this balms are Amberwood, Oud, Tobacco leaf and 'some other' woody notes, middle notes are Jasmin, Black Suede and Leather, and top notes are Rasberry, Saffron, Thyme and Francincense.
The product has no colorants in it, texture and color (off white to golden yellow) is determined by the ingredients and oils used in the specific balm. The tallow and essential oils used both play a part, and texture can vary from smooth, hard and creamy to soft and airy with small particles of oils or fats in suspension.
The tub contains 100 ml of soothing goodness, refills will be available soon, so hang on to your tinnies!
