Safe Swap alert!
Ever get a red rash after shaving your pits?! While I can’t prove that it’s caused by all the toxins and allergens in shaving creams and shower gels, I personally think it is based off my own experience.
If you’re thinking ‘it’s not that bad’ because you only use it once or twice a week, and it doesn’t sit on your skin, think again. It only takes 26 seconds for a product to be absorbed by your skin.
Some of the highly toxic ingredients to avoid in shaving creams and gels:
Propylene Glycol
PEGs
Petrolatum
Laureth 23
Fragrance
Dye
Phenoxyethanol
Isobutane
Mineral Oil
Ethanolamine family
