Overview

What it is

This product is a shaving gel designed to prepare the skin and hair for a smoother shaving experience. It is suited for all skin types and aims to minimize shaving-related skin issues such as nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs by moisturizing and softening beard hairs.

Key ingredients and their functions

Glycerin - humectant
Allantoin - skin conditioning agent
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract - moisturizer
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water - astringent
Glyceryl Polymethacrylate - film-former
Menthol - cooling agent
Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract - antioxidant
Camphor - soothing agent

How it works

The shaving gel works by creating a barrier on the skin that aids in reducing friction during shaving. Glycerin serves as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, while Allantoin and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract help soothe and moisturize. Witch Hazel acts as an astringent, possibly tightening the skin for a closer shave. Menthol provides a cooling sensation. The formulation also includes Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, which helps form a film over the skin, contributing to a smoother glide of the razor. Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract may offer antioxidant properties, and Camphor could deliver a soothing effect, aiming to improve the skin's appearance during and after shaving.
