Many aftershave lotions contain the same type of alcohol as hospital-grade hand sanitizer. This alcohol kills bacteria, but it stings like salt in a wound, and it's bad for your skin in the long run.
Our post-shave balm is also anti-bacterial, but it's 100% alcohol-free. Think of it as a nourishing juice for your skin – soothing irritation, boosting skin cell repair, and keeping you hydrated and moisturized.
Best of all? Unlike typical aftershaves, it'll actually make your skin healthier if you use it regularly.
Witch Hazel
The witch hazel plant is a spookily effective natural astringent. Its scientifically proven anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties make it an ideal remedy for sensitive skin.
Bonus: witch hazel also fights acne and eczema.
Aloe Vera
Used for medicinal purposes since the time of the Ancient Egyptians, aloe vera is a grease-free hydrator and moisturizer. It's great for oily skin – and its natural healing properties soothe and repair the small, invisible cuts caused by shaving.
Vegetable Glycerin
Derived from plant oils, vegetable glycerin is a natural humectant. It hydrates your skin, improves skin cell function, and accelerates wound healing.
Bonus: a 2016 study showed glycerin to be more effective than any other humectant.
