- Soothing action: The soothing properties of PlantSil help calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation. It is particularly suitable for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
- Rich and creamy foam: PlantSil helps create a dense and stable foam, which envelops the hair and facilitates shaving.
- Skin protection: PlantSil helps protect the skin from external agents, such as wind and cold, which can cause dryness and irritation.
- Natural origin: PlantSil is a plant-based ingredient, safe and respectful of the environment.
Scent: Woody Fougère
Discover a scent that embodies the perfect balance between freshness, depth and warmth. It opens with a sparkling and luminous explosion of bergamot, orange, lemon and grapefruit, which gives an immediate sensation of energy and vitality.
The heart reveals itself with an enveloping and sophisticated soul, thanks to the aromatic nuances of lavender that blend harmoniously with the depth of patchouli, the velvety touch of cashmere wood and the intense elegance of guaiac wood.
The fragrance finally settles on a warm and sensual base, where ambergris combines with the rich nuances of cedar wood, the resinous sweetness of myrrh and the enveloping caress of vanilla.
This woody fougère fragrance is an olfactory journey that seduces the senses, evoking the image of a wild and lush nature, but at the same time sophisticated and irresistible.

Usage advice
Saponificio Varesino formulations contain active ingredients that, in order to give the best perfomance, need to solubilize and/or melt. The maximum performance can be obtained in this way:
- cover the soap surface with a thin veil of hot water for a few minutes. The quantity of water needed may vary depending on your water hardness and the rate of humidity of the soap, a correct quantity is when the whole soap surface is covered by water,
- soak a badger shaving brush (being it the best performer when it comes to water absorbing),
- rinse it well and then pour the thin veil of water that bloomed the soap on the knot, and then start loading (20-30 seconds),
- face/bowl lather without adding water.
