Shaving Cream

A natural - and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Free - shaving cream designed to give you the best shave of your life!

After working closely with our clients to formulate the perfect shaving cream, we've finally got it! Our recipe combines the best qualities of our top-notch shaving soap with the comfort and convenience of a smooth, effective cream. And we did it all without using the synthetic ingredients found in large-batch, commercial creams!

It's all in here: moisturizers, ingredients to protect your skin, ingredients to help heal your skin, exfoliants, lubricants, ingredients to provide an effective and long-lasting lather, and of course ingredients to give you the closest, most comfortable shave you've ever had.

This is shaving perfection!

To use, apply to face and neck (or whatever you want to shave). If desired, create a lather first with a moist shaving brush or fingers. Shave normally and rinse. No need to wash your face afterwards, our shaving cream is full of ingredients that are great for your skin.

As with anything you put on your skin, discontinue use if rash or irritation develops.

Propylene Glycol [source: maize plant], Diazolidinyl Urea [source: petroleum, natural mineral deposits], Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate [source: natural mineral deposits, petroleum, maize plant] These three are used in very small amounts as a vegan preservative. Without them you'd have to refrigerate your shaving cream to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. But who wants to use ice-cold shave cream?
