The past several months I have been on the hunt for a truly natural, non-toxic shave gel (that I also like), only to continually come up short of my goal. Thankfully, one of my favorite brands, Acure Organics, has recently come out with one and they kindly hooked me up!
So what’s so great about this shaving gel?
Well, first off it’s powered by air, which means no nasty or toxic gasses to worry about. It’s also vegan, gluten free, sulfate free, paraben free, phthalate free, petroleum free, PEG free, cruelty-free, and fragrance and silicone free. Whew!
So how does it work?
Like a dream! It’s not messy, which I love because who wants to waste precious shower time cleaning shaving cream off the shower walls (am I the only one that’s happened to?)? It contains soothing ingredients such as Aloe, Calendula, and Blue Chamomile, has a faint, yummy Cucumber scent, and it’s also extremely moisturizing.
Though the description states that this “foams”, I haven’t experienced that. For me, it comes out as a thick, rich gel that “preps” my legs nicely for shaving. It also makes shaving a lot easier (ie. I don’t nick or cut myself with the razor as easily) and my legs/arms/bikini area are so hydrated and without any irritation.
I like this product so much that I am willing to overlook the use of Phenoxyethanol in its ingredients list (something I don’t normally do)!
Would I purchase this once I run out? Yes. Would I recommend this to friends & family? Hell yes! This stuff rocks!
