Volcanic glass forged under pressure, cooled in darkness, sharp enough to cut. This after shave balm for men was made in that spirit — dark, precise and entirely uncompromising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shave is only half the story. What you put on after matters just as much — and most after shave balms don’t come close to doing the job properly. Obsidian is a vegan after shave balm for men that was made to change that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormulated with a skin-first ingredient philosophy and fragranced with the dark, smoky leather accord of Obsidian, this post shave balm for men soothes, repairs and nourishes in equal measure — leaving the skin calm, hydrated and genuinely cared for. No sting. No tightness. Just skin that feels as good as it looks — and a fragrance that lingers long after the razor has been set down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ingredients — And Why They Matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most well-researched active ingredients in skincare. At 5%, niacinamide visibly reduces redness and post-shave irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, minimises the appearance of pores, and helps even skin tone over time. It is the ingredient your post shave balm routine has been missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1% Allantoin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gentle, clinically proven skin-soother derived from botanical sources. Allantoin accelerates skin cell renewal, calms razor burn and irritation on contact, and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable immediately after shaving. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoswellia carterii (Frankincense) Resin Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most prized ingredients in natural skincare. Frankincense oil has well-documented anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerating properties, helping to calm post-shave redness and support healthy, resilient skin over time. Its ancient, resinous character also sits beautifully alongside Obsidian’s dark, smoky fragrance accord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaprylic\/Capric Triglyceride (Light Coconut Oil)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lightweight, fast-absorbing emollient derived from coconut. It delivers deep hydration without greasiness, leaving the skin soft and comfortable without any residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitis vinifera (Grapeseed) Seed Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich in linoleic acid and antioxidants, grapeseed oil is one of the lightest and most skin-compatible oils available. It absorbs quickly, supports the skin barrier and helps protect against environmental stressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA powerful antioxidant that soothes, protects and conditions the skin. Vitamin E helps neutralise free radicals, supports healing and keeps the skin feeling nourished throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlycerine (Veg)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA humectant that draws moisture into the skin and locks it in. Glycerine keeps the skin hydrated and supple long after the after shave balm has been applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragranced with Obsidian — a dark, smoky leather fragrance of rare intensity. Cardamom opens with a warm, spiced brightness that is immediately arresting. The heart deepens into leather — dry, animalic and unmistakably masculine — with jasmine sambac adding a rich, heady floral darkness that is neither sweet nor soft. The base settles into amber, moss and patchouli: deep, earthy and enduring. This is a fragrance that does not ask for attention. It commands it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardamom  |  \u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather, Jasmine Sambac  |  \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber, Moss, Patchouli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete the Obsidian Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the full Obsidian grooming ritual, layer with the rest of the collection:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/obsidian-vegan-shave-cream-luxury-shave-butter\" title=\"Obsidian Vegan Shave Cream by Hazel Glow\"\u003eObsidian Vegan Shave Cream\u003c\/a\u003e — a richly cushioning shave butter with the full dark Obsidian fragrance accord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/obsidian-vegan-leather-eau-de-parfum-for-men-luxury-mens-cologne\" title=\"Obsidian Vegan Leather Eau de Parfum by Hazel Glow\"\u003eObsidian Eau de Parfum\u003c\/a\u003e — the full-size fragrance, for all-day dark leather intensity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for an after shave balm for men that genuinely works on the skin, not just the senses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitive, reactive or dry skin that benefits from niacinamide and allantoin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMen who appreciate dark, smoky leather fragrances with genuine depth and presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGifting — \u003cstrong\u003efather of the groom gift\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efather of the bride gift\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egroomsmen gifts\u003c\/strong\u003e, birthday and Christmas gifts for him, stocking fillers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan and clean beauty advocates who won’t compromise on quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVegan · Cruelty-Free · Paraben-Free · 5% Niacinamide · 1% Allantoin · Frankincense Oil · Handcrafted in the UK by Hazel Glow\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hazel Glow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54408579088730,"sku":"HG-ASB-OBS-50","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8722\/4410\/files\/Obsidian_AFter_Shave_Balm_by_Hazel_Glow.jpg?v=1783758898","url":"https:\/\/www.hazelglow.co.uk\/products\/obsidian-vegan-after-shave-balm-for-men-niacinamide","provider":"Hazel Glow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
