Shaving Cream - What Lurks Inside?

As I started research personal care products I wasn’t only interested in products that I use but products that I buy for my boys and my husband. I was really surprised that almost all commerically available shaving gels and creams are super toxic. Your skin is vulnerable during shaving. You’ve applied warm water to soften the hairs, which opens your pores, allowing more of whatever is resting on the surface of your skin to sink deeper into it. Then you shave, exfoliating the outer layer and revealing new, fresh skin underneath that is more tender and vulnerable to the elements outside—including your shaving cream and aftershave lotions. Many chemicals to be avoided at all costs. Instead, choose a shave soap, perhaps something that contains coconut oil which will give you a little lather. Please do your research.
