Ingredients
Shea Butter
Shea butter is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, which help in boosting skin’s moisture and elasticity.
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.
Bergamot Rind
Bergamot rind, or bergamot peel, is a type of citrus fruit that is commonly used in skin care products. It is known for its refreshing, uplifting scent and its ability to promote healthy, radiant skin. Bergamot rind is rich in antioxidants, which can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors and prevent premature skin aging.
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.

Pacific Shaving Co. created this all-natural shave cream that does double duty as a skincare Swiss Army Knife and shaving cream. While it’s on the pricier side, you only need a tiny amount for each shave. And while it may not lather like a traditional shaving gel, the formula is just as effective at helping you achieve a smooth, close shave.
