SHIELD: Post-Shave Balm
The ultimate solution for post-shave redness, visible irritation, razor bumps, dryness, or skin sensitivity from repeated close shaving. This concentrated botanical after-shave balm is crafted to help calm the appearance of irritation, support the skin barrier, and leave skin feeling steady, hydrated, smooth, and comfortable without heaviness or clogged pores.

Especially supportive for daily shaving routines and environments where close, consistent grooming is required, SHIELD is thoughtfully formulated for skin prone to visible irritation after shaving, including tightly curled beard hair and melanin-rich skin where razor bumps and sensitivity are more commonly experienced. With a clean, non-greasy finish and subtle herbal scent from whole-plant infusions, SHIELD is suitable for both women and men. Net 2 ounces in a keepsake walnut container.

Why You’ll Love It:

Helps calm the appearance of post-shave redness and irritation
Supports skin comfort in areas prone to visible razor bumps
Reduces the feeling of dryness or tightness after shaving
Supports the skin barrier during repeated, close shaving routines
EO-free to minimize risk of additional sensitivity

Texture & Scent:

Texture: Soft-set balm that melts quickly on contact and absorbs cleanly without leaving shine or residue

Scent: Subtle herbal warmth from whole-plant infusions; no added fragrance

Crafted With Intention:

SHIELD is formulated with traditionally calming and skin-supportive botanicals, including calendula, plantain, chamomile, and marshmallow root, slowly infused into nourishing oils. Goat tallow and shea butter provide skin-identical lipids that support comfort and resilience, while beeswax and lanolin offer light protection and help maintain skin softness after shaving. This balm is designed to support skin that experiences frequent shaving and benefits from steady, daily care.

BALANCE: daily calming and balancing skin moisturizer for oily/combination skin

Together, these balms support a simple, botanical approach to daily care and recovery.

Pumpkin short rib ravioli is a delicious pasta dish that is perfect for fall by combining the savory flavors of braised short ribs with the sweet, earthy taste of pumpkin. The ravioli are made from fresh pasta dough filled with a mixture of tender, shredded short ribs that have been cooked low and slow in broth with herbs and spices, and pureed pumpkin for added creaminess and flavor. For the Pasta: 2 cups flour 1 tsp salt 4 egg yolks 1/2 pumpkin purée For the Short Ribs: 1 lb beef short ribs S&P 1 tbsp butter 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tbsp tomato paste 2 cups dry red wine 2 cups beef stock For the ribs: 1. Generously season ribs with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, melt tbsp of butter and sear each side of ribs to form a nice crust, about 3 mins each side. Remove from pot and set aside. 2. Add onions and garlic to beef drippings in the pot and sauté until translucent, about 4 mins. Add 1 tbsp tomato paste and stir into onions, letting it caramelize and slightly stick to the pan, around 4 mins. 3. Add red wine and gently scrape bits from the bottom of the pan, add beef stock and return ribs to the pot. Cover with a lid and bake for 2.5-3 hrs. Ribs should fall off the bone and be very tender. Shred with a knife and fork and spoon juices over the beef to keep moist. For the pasta: 1.On a clean surface, pile your flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs + pumpkin. Using a fork, carefully drag the inside ring of flour into the center and mix to gradually incorporate all flour. Use a dough cutter or your hands to knead as dough begins to form. 2. Once dough is completely mixed, cut in two parts and begin rolling both pieces (individually) on a floured surface (add flour to rolling pin) to as thin as you can get them. 3. Use your ravioli cutter to measure how far you need to space out the filling. Arrange quarter sized amounts of shredded beef evenly spaced on the bottom ravioli sheet. Once full, lay the top sheet over top and stamp out your raviolis. Combine dough scraps and re roll to make more raviolis until you’ve used it all. 5. Boil for about 2-3 minutes and strain. Enjoy!
