Description
The olfactory family of Asterios is: Woody – Aromatic – Leather. The fragrance opens with top notes of birch pitch and green notes; middle notes are leather notes and notes of white woods (birch-cedar); the base notes are animalic and woody with some animal musk and oak mushio. This olfactory pyramid goes well with the chosen character Asterios the “Minotaur” a monster half man and half bull, son of Minos, king of Crete, and of Pasiphae. The Minotaur represents the instinctive and bestial part of the human mind, just as the chosen fragrance embodies the true Alpha male.
The production of this shaving soap involves the separate saponification of the oils / fats / butters according to their function, starting from the raw materials and therefore not using “semi-finished pellets”. Two doughs are created:
- the first mixture is the one that contains the fats for the foam and therefore the supporting structure of the shaving soap
- the second is the one that has the task of giving our skin all the nourishing and soothing benefits of fats.
Once the two mixtures are obtained, they are mixed for two hours in a sort of mixer at a controlled temperature and at low rotation speeds, to avoid any mechanical stress to the soap. All this procedure is done to respect the raw materials used to the maximum and obtain all the benefits on our skin.
List some properties of the fats used in this soap:
Olive Oil : 100% pure cold-pressed organic oil.

Shea Butter : the butter used is of Premium quality, i.e. raw / raw butter from organic farming, is rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E which fights free radicals and facilitates the micro-circulation of the blood on the surface of the epidermis, and vitamin A which prevents and fights wrinkles, but also eczema, dermatitis and helps to heal skin marks.
Coconut oil: the oil used in this soap is also obtained from organic farming, 100% pure and cold pressed. Its function is to soften the skin and help keep it hydrated, thus counteracting the loss of elasticity.
