- 30ml Witch Hazel Exctract
- 3-5 Drops of Glycerin
- a small amount of Allantoin (2-3 x of what fits on the tip of a knife, don't know the english term :-) )
- 5-10 Drops of Alpha-Bisalbolol (this is the main Camomile-Ingredient)
- Essential Oils for scent, what I use is 10 Drops of Bay-Oil (Bay Rum) and 5-7 Drops of Lemongrass
This give to me a very soothing and relaxing aftershave, and as my skin somehow cannot cope with balms I go for the alcohol-based version :-)
