Taconic is made with organic honey. It it the honey that you see slightly pooling on top of the cream. The cream itself is made of healthy ingredients, and therefore the cream has a natural (un-bleached) color. A very quick stir with a coffee stirrer or snipped of q-tip, will re-mix the cream nicely. Don't worry, the shaving cream is not harmed when it arrives like such. It will whip into a wonderful, creamy and slick lather, and will give a great shave. The tequila lime is lightly scented (not super strong lime or tequila for that matter), but will smell slightly stronger when applied to your face for shaving.
