- Price: $5.49
- Size: 4 oz.
- Uses: Shaving Cream/ Shave Lotion.
- Amount Of Product Used For It To Be Effective: Very little, less than a dime size per leg.
- First Impression: Small package for the price, but nice packaging for Aubrey Organics, clean and fresh looking... I wish I could say the same for some of their other products.
- Texture: Perfect consistency... silky, smooth and luxurious. Rich, but not greasy or sticky. Easy to rinse off. Sooo nice!
- Scent: Pomegranate... fruity and pleasant.
- How Long I've Used It: Everytime I've showered for the past month.
Results: Very close shave, razor glides easily and smoothly. It gives you a nice thin layer and I love how moisturizing it is. - Easy To Find And Where?: Found it at Whole Foods, but I didn't see the same scent on Aubrey's Website. Maybe the Pomegranate's a Whole Foods exclusive? Aubrey Organics and Amazon had other scents available though.
- Aquired: Purchased with my own money.
- Sample, Trial, Travel Sizes?: I don't think they offer any. They should though!
- EWG's Skin Deep - Cosmetic Safety Database Rating: 3
- Product This Will Be Replacing: EOS Eveloution Of Smooth Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream in Pomegranate Raspberry (the pink one).
- EWG's Skin Deep - Cosmetic Safety Database Rating for EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream in Pomegranate Raspberry: 6 (I had to type it in...).
- Verdict: I would totally buy it again! This is by far- the best natural shaving cream I have ever used! My skin felt awesome after using it. No razor burn or bumps! It's a miracle LOL. I've used Alba, Kiss My Face, Trader Joe's Brand, Aveda, Origins and several other conventional ones in the past. I love that it smells girly and not like a health food store, and the packaging is nice too.
- UPDATE 10.08.10: I'm really happy to announce that I've been consistantly using this product since May 2010! This is my all-time fave shaving cream! I have tried the Pomegranate (which I thinks was a WF's exclusive, and my favorite scent... but mine in NJ doesn't have it anymore), the Orange Cream, the Toasted Almond, and the Raspberry Honey... I think that's all of them. The Raspberry Honey is my second Favorite! I happen to like very girly, berry scented things. So, YAY for something safe that works really well! :) xoxo
