Review :Hunter's Aftershave Balm - Jekyll and Hyde Beard Balm from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company
A few weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on the Ultra-Rich Face Moisturiser from The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company. I absolutely loved the product and the philosophy behind it. Recently, I’ve been testing two more items from their men’s skincare range: the Hunter’s Aftershave Balm and the Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm. After using them daily, it’s time to share my experience. For context, I’m 50 years old with normal skin, and I rarely experience irritation.
Hunter's Aftershave Moistering Balm
Now, I know what you’re thinking—why use aftershave balm when I have a beard? Good question! Even with a short beard, I shave my neckline and cheekline every day to keep things tidy. After shaving, applying an aftershave balm is a crucial part of my routine.
The Hunter’s Aftershave Balm comes in a sleek metal tin, which feels premium right from the start. The balm itself is thick, which I prefer—it’s much better than runny aftershave products. The scent is bold and masculine, maybe a bit stronger than I usually go for, but it grew on me as I continued using it. The key ingredients, like French Provencal lavender and organic shea butter, bring anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and deeply moisturizing benefits, making it perfect for cooler autumn weather.
It does take a little longer to absorb, but the rich texture leaves my skin incredibly soft. This balm is particularly great for the colder months, though I’m curious how it will perform in summer. As with all Edinburgh Skincare products, it’s 100% natural and handmade in Scotland. If you’re looking to upgrade your shaving routine with a product that’s kind to your skin and free from artificial ingredients, Hunter’s Aftershave Balm is a fantastic choice. Plus, it has a great name—Hunter’s! Pretty cool, right?
Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm
My morning ritual wouldn’t be complete without a beard balm. Although I have a short beard, the Jekyll & Hyde Natural Beard Balm works wonders. The scent is spot-on—strong and masculine, perfect for starting the day with confidence. It leaves my beard smooth with just a hint of shine, and it also nourishes the skin underneath, which is a big plus.
Like the aftershave balm, the beard balm is made with 100% natural ingredients and is handmade in Scotland. With shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax, this balm provides deep hydration and helps keep your beard looking sharp. Whether you have a short or long beard, this is a great product for keeping everything soft, smooth, and well-groomed.
