Coconut oil is derived from the fruit of the coconut palm and is known for its numerous skin care benefits, including hydration and nourishment. Coconut oil is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, making it a good choice for men with acne-prone skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E helps protect skin from free radical damage and ultraviolet radiation that can cause premature aging. It can also help keep skin cells healthy and promote healing and reducing inflammation.
Olive Oil
Olive oil provides deep hydration and nourishment, reducing dryness and irritation caused by shaving.
Aloe
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.
