THE BODY SHOP Maca Root & Aloe Softening Shaving Cream

Softening shaving cream with maca root and aloe for men

A men's shave cream built around maca root for beard-softening power and aloe for skin comfort. The creamy soap-base lather preps coarse hair so the razor glides for a close, smooth shave.

Why Choose It?

• Softens coarse beard: Maca root and a fatty acid soap base prep facial hair so the razor glides for a closer shave.
• Soothes the skin: Aloe, cucumber fruit extract and boswellia gum back the calming, comfort-focused feel.
• Rich creamy lather: A traditional saponified soap base whips into a thick, even lather that cushions every pass.
• Hydrating glide: Glycerin and butylene glycol humectants keep skin feeling comfortable through the shave.

Best For

Smooth shaving on coarse beards and sensitive skin that tends to feel tight or irritated after the razor.

Use as the lather step of a wet shave, after rinsing the face with warm water to soften the beard.

• Wet the face thoroughly with warm water to open pores and soften facial hair.
• Apply a small amount to wet beard with fingertips or a shaving brush.
• Work into a rich, even creamy lather across the shave area.
• Shave with the grain in smooth strokes, rinsing the razor between passes.
• Rinse the face with cool water and pat dry.

Tips

• Follow up with a face moisturiser for men to lock in comfort after the shave.
• For a closer finish on tougher beards, leave the lather on the skin for around a minute before shaving so the maca root has time to soften the hair.
