So, full of natural goodness, then :?
The front of the box highlights the fact that the cream contains Vitamin E and that it's 'Extra Moisturizing'. And according to the blurb on't box:
" The natural moisturizing ingredient PCA-Na and vitamin E in formulation, moisturize and soften the beard"
It's inexpensive. It's from Turkey. And it's one of the best creams I've used so far.
It wouldn't surprise me if a tube of this stuff was doled out to every inmate at a Turkish gaol. But apart from the lovely lubrication, Arko Regular also provides excellent cushion and leaves the skin (well, mine, anyway) in superb condition -- the three times I've used it, I've not bothered to follow up with a moisturising aftershave.
Very easy to create a quality, lasting lather with this cream too. The scent ain't so bad, either (reminiscent of a weak Paco Rabanne Pour Homme to my sniffer: clean, soapy, pleasant).
£2.45 from Connaught. And I think it performs as well as my £18-something Castle Forbes.
Roll on the day when the Turks take a fancy to the Isle of Man. I'm sure regular supplies of Arko cream to UK high streets could be factored into a fudged UN peace agreement. We get to keep Vulfix, though.
