Mysterium Serum LTD. Holiday Gift Pack | Advanced Fragrance & Alcohol Free Aftershave Balm & Body Soap

Introducing the Ultimate Holiday Gift Pack: The Mysterium Serum LTD. Travel Collection!

So yeah, this happened. Blame (or thank) Brian D. Foley! 

Finally, more options for our Mysterium Serum Aftershave Soother! With always offering about 70 scents on tap here at PAA, adding matching Mysterium Serum to the mix would really slow us down...but of course it would be EPIC to pull off, and maybe someday! For now, we hope you will accept our humble little assortment of our top 3 original scents: John Frum, Future Fiction, and Atomic Age Bay Rum!

I also got kinda artsy with the label design in a self spoofing kinda way. I figured if we were gonna offer a vinyl, travel, holiday-type gift kit, it needed this kinda touch. I also thought it might be fun to do an equally as sterile write up you typically find for this sort of thing in a catalog:

This holiday season, give the gift of skin nirvana with our exclusive Mysterium Serum LTD. Travel Collection, a luxurious, limited-edition set that combines our most popular fragrances in a compact, travel-ready & gift perfect package! Perfect for the Shave Cadet on the go, this kit comes complete with three Limited Edition, 2-ounce bottles of Mysterium Serum, a bar of our fan-favorite John Frum Body Soap, and a sleek, reusable vinyl dopp kit that makes packing a breeze.

Reusable Travel Dopp Thing?

What sets this dopp kit apart? Its transparent design, allowing you to find exactly what you need without digging through a jumble of toiletries, a game-changer for quick trips and overnight stays. It’s not just functional; it’s water resistant, and a thoughtful addition to anyone’s travel essentials. Inside, you’ll find our legendary Mysterium Serum, renowned for its soothing, hydrating, and fast-absorbing properties. Formulated with advanced, natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, and shea butter, this post-shave balm is the ultimate recovery for freshly shaven skin: silky smooth, never greasy, and always nourishing.

This special holiday kit also includes our signature John Frum Body Soap, designed to invigorate and "man-pamper" the skin while delivering a scent that inspires adventure. Combined with the three limited-edition Mysterium Serums, this gift pack offers a complete self-care experience that’s as indulgent as it is practical.

Don’t wait, this limited-edition collection is as fleeting as a winter snowfall!

Behold, the most Advanced, Fragrance & Alcohol Free, Postshave Balm Ever!

"This stuff is on a whole new level. Please keep this in the core of your offerings!" - Andrew Whitfield, Customer

But What's inside Doug, what really sets this apart?

Great question! As with all our formulations, it's really about the synergistic effects of the choice ingredients used. So put on your reading glasses and get ready to really dig into this cocktail of EPIC!

Hyaluronic Acid: As we age, skin moisture can drop significantly, which makes the skin lose elasticity and expose the signs of aging on the skin. Hyaluronic acid, like glycerin, is also a humectant and plays a critical role in skin hydration with its unique ability to hold in moisture (1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid). Hyaluronic acid also can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity—relative to the season and the climate.  This can help keep your skin looking fresh, hydrated, and healthy all year round'!

Deep thought went into this Moisturizing Monster

Hyaluronic Acid comes in low and high molecular weights which can have slightly different results on the skin. Higher weight Hyaluronic Acid molecules are larger in size so will sit on the skin surface and attract moisture from the atmosphere, while lower weight Hyaluronic Acid is a smaller molecule that can penetrate the skin to help make it appear more plump and hydrate. That said, Mysterium Serum contains lower weight Hyaluronic Acid so as not to leave a greasy, heavy on the skin feel.

And this is just some of the magic that is Hyaluronic Acid, truly a superstar when it comes to skin food!

Next we have...

Allantoin: is considered an ultra effective moisturizing ingredient both its gentle, and non-irritating qualities make it an excellent addition to for those with sensitive skin.  

In performing its hydrating functions, the outer layer of skin our epidermis, synthesises a very large number of proteins and oils (lipids) that are naturally found in the stratum corneum.  This is called keratinisation.

Allantoin is clever, in that it actually can promote balance in the stratum corneum, this is the reason that allantoin is known for leaving skin feeling smooth.

Pea Extract: Is rich in protein, and it also contains essential amino acids, calcium, iron and potassium. In addition, this extract has vitamin B6, folate and vitamin C, all three of which are excellent at helping the skin stay moisturized and healthy looking.  

DL Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B): Is present in all living cells, which makes it the perfect ingredient for a skin smoothing & moisturizing aftershave balm! This stuff is SUPER PENETRATING; When panthenol is applied to the skin it results in a conversion to pantothenic acid; this acid is readily absorbed by the skin, penetrating deep into the lower layers promoting a healthy looking glow.

Clinical research has found that pantothenic acid not only is not only extremely moisturizing, but when regularly used over a period of four weeks or more it helps to consistently soften freshly shaven skin, making it look healthier and more attractive.

MSM: The abbreviation for methylsulfonylmethane, MSM is found in all living organisms and is formed organically of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur. In the human body, it acts as the “glue” that holds together our amino acid chains – aka the building blocks of all tissues.

Green Tea Extract: Research has established that topical application of green tea extracts have many benefits for improving the appearance of your skin. 

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is one of the active constituents of green tea believed to be responsible for its appearance benefits, both orally and topically.

Green Tea Extract is also gentle and is among the most well researched and impressive ingredients in terms of its many benefits that result in a more moisturized healthier looking appearance...BOOM!

Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO): is made from regular coconut oil – but it’s only a fraction of what coconut oil is (hence the name, of course). While regular coconut oil contains long-chain fatty acids, fractionated coconut oil has had these fatty acids removed via processes called steam distillation and hydrolysis. All that remains now is the medium-chain fatty acids; also called medium-chain triglycerides. This is why fractionated coconut oil is often called MCT oil since it only contains medium-chain fatty acids.

The absence of the long-chain fatty acids makes fractionated coconut oil more stable than regular coconut oil, and also gives it a longer shelf life. It absorbs easily into your skin and doesn’t leave it feeling oily like straight coconut oil. Thus, your face is left feeling soft, but not greasy; the perfect balance for healthy looking skin.

Olive Squalane: Is a high purity vegetable Squalane obtained from Olives. Well known as Nature's Facelift, Olive Squalane is a botanical lipid that mirrors human lipids in molecular structure and weight (scientists found that the skin's sebaceous glands synthesized approximately 10-12% Squalane). The Olive Squalane is the plant-derived alternative to the animal-derived (shark liver oil) of the past. This valuable lipid is extremely compatible with the skin and is safe for all skin types.

The addition of Olive Squalane can:

• Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Softens the appearance of rough-textured skin, leaving no oily residue.
• Highly Stable against oxidation.

Yeah, it pretty much rocks!

Shea Butter:

Shea butter contains Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help keep skin healthy looking. They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin and to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. The Vitamin A in shea butter is important for improving the look of skin conditions, including uneven color and wrinkles. Vitamin F acts as a protector, soothing the appearance of rough, dry or chapped skin, and helps soften dry or damaged hair. 

Shea butter’s unparalleled hydrating property is due to natural moisturizers that are chemically similar to those produced by the body’s own sebaceous glands. Shea butter also contains healthy fatty acids. It is high in unsaponifiables (a type of fat) containing between 7-12%. Shea butter easily penetrates the skin and will not clog pores. Shea butter has powerful moisturizing benefits for the skin. 

Shea butter applications and benefits include the following:

• Excellent daily skin moisturizer for face and body
• Can help reduce the appearance  blemishes and wrinkles
• Use after shaving to reduce razor bumps

And Lastly...

Aloe Vera Juice: Used for a host of purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality.” It's one of the most popular plants to use after prolonged sun exposure to help moisturize dry, sun soaked skin.

Aloe vera is a cactus plant that belongs to the Liliaceae family. It grows in dry climates such as those found in parts of Africa and India.  Aloe leaves secrete a clear gel that when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied topically to soothe skin.

Aloe moisturizes the skin without giving it a greasy feel, so it's perfect for anyone with an oily skin complexion.  Aloe contains over 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid. Bet you didn't know any of that!

That is pretty much it folks!

"This conversation happened today.

“Don’t forget we have to stop by tractor supply to get dog food”

“Ok”

“Also I want to stop by healthy alternatives (a natural health food & care store) to see if they have my moisturizer because i can’t find it anywhere”

“Have you tried my new one (Mysterium Serum)?”

“No.”

Hand her bottle and she reads ingredient list.

“Omg this has everything!”

“Yea its good and just a little costly like $15.”

“Mine cost $45 and it doesnt have hyaluronic acid.”

“You better buy some and support him.”

I then look at her 1.7oz tub and my 4oz tube “this is also a lot more”

“He does a wonderful thing for you guys.”
