The Sudsy Soapery Natural Products™ Creamy Aftershave Balm
When we set out to make a shave balm here at The Sudsy SoaperyNatural Products,™ we searched through many other shave balms and consistently found
that the ingredients in these balms were petroleum based or contained some sort
of chemical that was not naturally derived.
For instance, Emulsifying
Wax is commonly used in balms and lotions to emulsify (combine the water
to oil into a solid state) the formula.
However, most emulsifying wax is petroleum based and although petroleum
has a very low comedogenic rating, it stays on top of the pours creating a
barrier that keeps out air, water and anything else that might help the pores
to breathe healthily.
Other chemicals in aftershave balms and
lotions include:
·
Myristyl
Myristate
·
Diazolidinyl Urea (a formalihyde realaser)
·
Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
·
Peg-12
Dimethicone
Rather than a list that
contained harmful and unnecessary chemicals.
We wanted a list that would provide a useful and natural approach to your
daily shaving routine. We researched
and researched and formulated and re-formulated
trying to find naturally derived ingredients that would emulsify and
preserve our formula.
We started with the base
oils, oils on the face you say? Yes! Oils
on the face! It is the best option you
have and even the ancients used it. In
fact, there is a reference in the Bible, in Psalm 104:15 “And
wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his
face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.”
There are oils that, when used properly, slow down the aging process of
the face, creating a fountain of youth as it were. With
the proper comedogenic rating, oils will moisturize without clogging the pores.
So, we started with Hemp and
Mango oil, two of the “less greasy” oils that allow your pore to breathe
creating an immense moisturizing and skin protecting wonder! Then we added Organic Witch Hazel directly
from one of the leading manufacturers of the products in the world. Witch Hazel is an astringent which shrinks
and constricts body tissue. In short,
it may aid in the bleeding, cuts and abrasions
one might experience during there shave.
To all of this we add
Glycerin that helps moisture retention on the skin and Vitamin E and Grapefruit
Seed Extract to preserve this aftershave balm naturally.
Our purpose here at The
Sudsy Soapery Natural Products™ is to do what others have tried and do it again
thinking about the skin from a healthful and sustainable perspective. This
is why we are presenting to you our natural philosophy as it pertains to our
post shave wonder creamy aftershave balm which comes as a complement to your
shaving routine, free of chemicals!
