Aloe is a powerful and incredibly versatile skin care ingredient. It's packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental damage. Aloe also helps to soothe irritated and inflamed skin, making it ideal for men who suffer from razor burn or other irritations caused by shaving.

Coconut Acid

Coconut Acid is a popular ingredient in men's skincare, known for its cleansing and exfoliating properties. Derived from coconut oil, this natural acid helps to gently remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. It also helps to hydrate and protect the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Ideal for those with dull, congested, or rough skin.
