Shaving Cream

This Hamol Shaving Cream, sold in a 60 ml tube for the Syrian market, blends a water base with coconut oil, cottonseed oil and glycerin to create a lubricating, moisturizing lather. The formula is stabilized by stearic acid and includes alkali agents (potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate) that generate the foam, as well as menthol and witch‑hazel extract for a cooling, astringent sensation. While the emollient oils and witch‑hazel can soothe the skin, the high pH from the hydroxides and the menthol fragrance may irritate very sensitive or compromised skin, so a patch test is advisable.
