John Masters Organics Eucalyptus & Agave 2-in-1 Face Wash & Shave Foam 177ml

Eucalyptus & Agave Face Wash & Shave Foam

This unique concentrated shave product pumps out a luxurious creamy foam with the fresh aroma of eucalyptus and lavender. The plant-based surfactants rinse clean, leaving skin smooth and softened. Witch hazel leaf water and willow bark extract lend anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits that protect skin from the irritation commonly experienced post-shave.

Three mild surfactants form the base: decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, and sodium lauroyl glutamate. All are readily biodegradable and produced from plant material through completely clean processes, so they contain no solvent residues.

Aloe vera leaf juice comes from a succulent plant with a long history of traditional use in protecting the skin. High in polysaccharides, which form chemical bonds with water, it creates a shield that holds in moisture. Organic saccharomyces/Agave americana leaf ferment filtrate has a similar effect, containing natural plant sugars such as fructose that attract water and lock it in to the skin, as well as promoting collagen synthesis, creating overall healthier skin.

A third succulent extract, Opuntia ficus-indica stem extract from the prickly pear or nopal, is a highly effective moisturizing and soothing ingredient. High in essential amino acids, vitamins, anti-oxidants, and polysaccharides, it provides long-lasting hydration, calms dry and sensitive skin, and protects from environmental damage.

A complex of certified organic algae and rice extracts delivers perceivable firming properties as well as substantive hydration and moisturizing benefits. The effects leave the skin smooth and supple. Centella asiatica, otherwise known as gotu kola, is wound healing and acts on collagen to help prevent wrinkles and firm the skin. White tea leaf delivers antioxidant benefits.

Witch hazel is especially beneficial for men’s skin, which tends to be oily and impure, as is black willow bark extract. With its influence on the shedding of dead skin cells due to the presence of active salicins, salix nigra has a smoothing and restorative effect on dry, chapped, and problem skin, including a reduction of the fine lines, wrinkles, and weathered appearance.

Its tannins contribute antioxidants, as well. Leuconostoc/Radish root ferment filtrate is a peptide used in preserving cosmetic formulas that is also effective as a topical antimicrobial when addressing problem skin.

The organic eucalyptus oil in this product is sourced from a family business in Australia, where the tree is native. The oil is naturally cooling and antibacterial, its aroma stimulating and expansive. Gentle lavender flower water, a byproduct of the distillation of lavender essential oil, is cooling, hydrating, and balancing. Its scent relaxes the mind.

Use: After moistening skin, pump a generous amount into hands. Apply to face and neck and shave as usual.
