Archaic Alchemy Mictlan Aftershave Balm 100ml

Product Overview

Archaic Alchemy Mictlan Aftershave Balm is a 100ml post-shave balm formulated with witch hazel water, glycerin, shea butter, mango butter, allantoin, and menthol. Its blend of humectants and emollients helps retain moisture and soften the skin after shaving, while menthol contributes a cooling sensation.

Mictlan takes its inspiration from Mictlán, the underworld in Mexica tradition. The manufacturer's story centers on the soul's long journey toward rest in the presence of Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacíhuatl.

Quick Take

A fragranced aftershave balm combining shea and mango butters with glycerin and allantoin for skin conditioning. Choose Mictlan if you prefer a balm format and enjoy the cooling sensation of menthol.

Scent

Mictlan contains fragrance. Archaic Alchemy references natural essential oils, molecules, and flower extracts in the accompanying fragrance information, but does not provide individual scent notes or a fragrance pyramid in the supplied description.

A Word from the Manufacturer

After a long four-year journey through the regions of the underworld, the deceased completed their journey to Mictlán. They passed away, releasing their soul, “el tonalli,” thus achieving the longed-for rest in the presence of the Lord and Lady of Death, Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacíhuatl, rulers of the underworld, who spoke the following words:

“Your sorrows are over; go now and sleep your mortal sleep.”

Directions for Use

After shaving, rinse your face and gently pat dry. Apply a small amount of balm to the shaved area and massage gently into the skin, avoiding contact with the eyes. Follow any additional directions on the product packaging.
