MoisturizingPanthenol, Methyl gluceth-20 + 9 moreWorks well
“Unlike many other shaving foams, our formula has natural ingredients, like aloe and cucumber, that hydrate and refresh your skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Silybum marianum extract, Tocopheryl acetate + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (silybum marianum extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
