Like the rest of Gillette's Skin Ultra Sensitive range, this post shaving balm is an aftershave product which helps to protect skin and keep it looking healthy. The non-greasy formulation works into the skin straight away, providing a layer of moisture that provides comfort and relief for just shaved skin. What's more, the inclusion of humectants, such as glycerine, bind water into the upper layers of the skin. The use of emollient oils, like isopropyl isostearate, help to leave skin feeling smooth and comfortable while also helping to keep moisture in the skin.
Vitamins included in the shave balm's formulation
This shaving balm is formulated to assist with moisture replenishment and to help strengthen the skin's natural barrier. Along with an infusion of shea butter and Vitamin E, the Gillette SKIN Ultra Sensitive Shave Balm contains Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, and Panthenol, otherwise known as pro-vitamin B5. Niacinamide helps to strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier while Panthenol helps to hydrate to soothe skin.
Alcohol and dyes ingredients not used
As a aftershave balm that is designed for men who suffer from skin sensitivity, no dyes are included in the formulation. The same goes for the use of alcohol. Both ingredients do not feature in the production of this shave balm, one that's been specifically devised for men who feel they have sensitive skin.
Tested by men with sensitive skin
Gillette has tested the Ultra Sensitive post shave balm on men with sensitive skin. Dermatological tests have been conducted by men who have sensitive skin. This approach helps to ensure the balm performs well, just like the rest of the SKIN Ultra Sensitive range.
Recyclable packaging
Easy to apply thanks to its non-sticky formulation, this aftershave balm also has recyclable packaging. It is easy to recycle because its container can be placed into domestic waste recycling once the tube has been emptied.
