Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Simple light shave cream that gets the job done and doesn’t break me out. Drys out pretty quickly though so I have to keep reapplying. Doesn’t spread as well as shaving soap does with a brush.

It's nice and foamy and has a pleasant smell, but it always left my skin feeling dry afterwards. Had to switch to an actual gel, instead of a foaming one.
