Seven Potions Shaving Cream

Seven Potions' award-winning shaving cream, made with plant-based ingredients to build a protective lather and keep irritation down. It is a soft cream in a 120ml tub, meant for a brush and bowl rather than the hand.

Performance

The base is a classic stearic and myristic acid cream with coconut acids and vegetable glycerin, softened with shea butter, hydrolysed jojoba esters and blackcurrant seed oil. Seven Potions adds Cardiospermum halicacabum extract, an anti-inflammatory, to help against redness, itch and razor burn.

The maker's method: a dab of cream in a bowl, whipped with a damp brush, then worked onto the face in circles before you shave. Seven Potions does not publish the fragrance notes; the formula uses natural fragrance.
