Description of Shaving Soap:
Van Yulay’s makes a croap shaving soap. It is not a cream nor a hard puck. It is in between soft & hard.
Van Yulay whips up into a yogurt like cream lather in just a few minutes. Enjoy a rich and creamy protective lather with skin protective loaded with enriched vitamins and amino acids. We make each soap with your skin in mind. Ph balanced to have a smooth and irritation free shave. Each soap is piped in beautifully in an 8 oz. container.
How to use:
Soak your shave brush in a bowl or cup filled with hot water for a few minutes before your shave. Apply a warm, damp towel to your face (or splash face with warm water) to prep your face for shaving. Apply another hot towel to your face for a few seconds. After the brush has soaked, gently squeeze out excess water, still leaving the brush mostly wet. Apply the brush to the soap in fast, repeated circular motions to coat the brush bristles well. Shave and rinse face thoroughly with cool water. For an optimal experience, finish with Van Yulay After Shave Splash then followed with your After-Shave Balm by Van Yulay.
Shaving Soap Contents:
- Tallow – has been used as an effective skincare ingredient for centuries! As your skin need all vitamins to replenish the daily lives, tallow has Vitamin A, D, E and K, as well as Omega – fatty acids.
- Emu Oil – contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, therefore it is able to easily penetrate the skin’s barriers for deep moisturization. When compared to other types of oil, emu oil had 2-4 times greater penetration of the skin. These effects show that emu oil is able to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin extremely effectively.
- Silk Amino Acids – is a unique silk peptide and one of the best at reducing fine lines and other signs of aging. Keeping moisture locked in and harsh conditions out, leaving skin protected and well-nourished.
- Babassu Oil is an antioxidant and will help destroy the free radicals that cause premature aging and cancer. The oil is naturally anti-inflammatory and is often used to treat skin conditions such as eczema.
- Coconut Fatty Acid – excellent lathering and conditioning when used in shave soap.
- Bentonite Clay – Gives an extra creaminess and silkiness to the shave soap. Generally, white clay’s natural absorbing, detoxifying and exfoliating properties makes it an indispensable ingredient in shaving products.

The concept of of forbidden fruit started with Adam and Eve when they were banished from the Garden and we have to work for everything since. . See Genesis 3 17-24.
So, Van Yulay is doing a “Pin Up Girls” series and Monica ran a name and create a scent for one of the labels. It was a girl picking an Apple.. Myself and @sefertonshaves came up with the winning combo. The scent is : Apple, Tea Rose, Vanilla, Lavender, Geosim, Musk, Lychee, Plum, Turkish Rose, Sandalwood, Spiced Mahogany and Cocobolo Wood
And the name: Forbidden Fruit !!!
Right out of the tub , Apple, vanilla and the Roses hit you. Then the plum and the rest of the scents follow nicely. This is a croap as ar the majority of Monica’s soaps. This lathered up quick with the scent even more explosive on the fruit and vanilla side. Not an overpowering rose experience but enough to make you step back and say “There is rose in that “. It rounds out the scent.
The lather went on really smooth feeling .
After the 3rd pass and a little clean up , I was BBS. The splash had a little more fruit and rose to it. Monica has some great ingredients in her splashed that make applying it very soothing , which made for a great end.
