Li’tya Pure Australian Botanicals, recently named ‘Best Spa Supplier - Product’ in the Australian Spa Association (ASPA) Spas of Excellence Awards, have added two new products to their men’s grooming range, Kakadu Plum Shave Foam and Kakadu Plum Aftershave Gel.
Marketing their botanical products as ‘spa care from the Australian Dreamtime’, Li’tya – an Aboriginal word meaning ‘of the earth’ – proudly uses a range of organic native Australian ingredients. Both the Kakadu Plum Shave Foam and the Kakadu Plum Aftershave Gel have a pleasant, masculine fragrance that is not at all overpowering like many supermarket bands. And with both of these products, a little goes a long way: you only need about the size of a twenty-cent coin’s worth of either product.
Li’tya Kakadu Plum Shave Foam is different to many other men’s shaving products in that it has more of a creamy texture, and is suitable for sensitive skin. You easily work the foam between your wet fingers to form a light lather that you then apply to your beard and skin. As with most non-aerosol shave foams, it’s best to shave in long, slow strokes to get the closest shave without nicks. The foam provides good coverage and works very well on both light and heavy beard.
Li’tya Kakadu Plum Aftershave Gel is a great way to follow the shave foam. When you first apply the gel it is slightly bracing. Don’t let that put you off, though, because in a couple of moments the cooling and refreshing qualities of the gel kick in with a pleasant, tingling sensation. Most men don’t take the time to follow up with an aftershave gel, but this product is highly recommended to help calm your skin after shaving and to prevent redness.
Guys will enjoy the practicalities of these two shaving products if nothing else! They each come in a classy black tube with a convenient, flip-top lid that makes them easy to stand up at the sink. They are also perfect to take when travelling; the tubes aren’t heavy or bulky, the lids are quite secure and you don’t have to worry about pressurized cans in your carry-on luggage. Best of all, both of these Li’tya products give good value for money in that they last for several months before you need to restock.
Li’tya donates a portion of profits from their products to the Bunjil Foundation, which assists the Indigenous People of Australia, and all of their range comes with the ‘Choose Cruelty Free’ endorsement. This means that you can choose items from their wide range, safe in the knowledge that they don’t test on animals or use any animal by-products, except sustainable items like bees wax, honey and mother of pearl shell.
