I would say this:
Aftershave: alcohol-based, but not as bracing as some alcohol splashes. Also has glycerin, witch hazel, and aloe to nourish, as well as botanicals to further fight redness.
Toner: Witch hazel and aloe-based, and shares the same botanicals that the aftershave uses. A trace amount of alcohol from the botanicals, but nothing that's really noticeable. Also has lanolin for extra moisturization. Customers have compared it to a luxury version of the Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave Balm.
Salves: Shea butter-based (around 30%) so they are very moisturizing, really good for dry skin, although not exclusively. Also has an equal amount of witch hazel to fight redness, plus aloe, glycerin, lanolin, avocado oil and coconut oil. Some who suffer from acne have found that the comedogenic properties of coconut oil to be disagreeable, but other than that, it's in a small amount so to not adversely affect the skin.
And, of course, I am biased in my assessment, so I welcome anyone to chime in!

Okay, Marko, that has to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen or heard. hawns, I'm not sure I would suggest this to you for use in an advertising campaign.

Why choose? Do what I did and buy them all - some days you want the alcohol in the aftershave, and some days you need the nourishment of the toner and then there are those days, mostly in the winter where you just need the salve.

Awesome! I'm really glad to hear that it worked out so well for you. Thank you very much! Hopefully you enjoy your other endeavors, as well!
After Colbeck comes out, I will try to make it a point to restock as many of the samples as possible, but at the moment I'm afraid there are more than a few that are out of stock. I think, however, there's at least one thing in each scent, at least.
