Shaving soaps and shaving creams without a fragrance

Why are unscented shaving products better for your skin?

Just like many care products, shaving products are also perfumed. In our webshop you will find a variety of shaving soaps and shaving creams with the most exotic and exciting scents. There is a scent available for every nose.

We regularly speak to customers who have sensitive skin and are allergic to specific fragrances. These can be annoying allergic skin irritations, such as red spots or burning sensations. People usually experience these irritations immediately after use, sometimes only after a few days. In this case, shaving is torture. You can imagine that shaving with a razor over irritated skin is no fun.

Shaving products with and without fragrances

What exactly are those fragrance ingredients? In many cases this concerns synthetic compound fragrances. The manufacturer purchases these components or produces them himself. A small amount is often enough to give the shaving product its own scent. The manufacturer is legally obliged to mention this on the label as an ingredient. You will often see 'Parfum' or 'Fragrance' on the label.

Some artisanal brands, such as Meissner Tremonia and Biolijf, do not use ready-made fragrances. These products are therefore not perfumed. The scent of the shaving soap or after shave balm comes from the added essential oils. So they are not synthetic fragrance ingredients. If you add pure natural lavender oil to shaving cream, this shaving cream will naturally smell of lavender. Or if you add mint oil to the after shave balm, this balm will have a mint scent.

But what if you hate odors? Or if you are hypersensitive to the added perfume or fragrance ingredients? Perhaps you are allergic to the various (synthetic) fragrances? Then you often have a problem with regular shaving products in retail. Fortunately, you will have no problem with us. Because we also sell many neutral, unscented to lightly scented care and shaving products.
