After Shave Base

After Shave Base is a cosmetic product designed for men to apply on their skin after shaving. It is formulated with soothing and moisturizing ingredients, which work together to reduce inflammation, calm razor burn, and nourish the skin. The base also helps to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin looking healthy and hydrated. After Shave Base comes in gel form that can be scented with fragrance to leave a pleasant and invigorating sensation on the skin.

Our Aftershave Gel Base is amazing as is but it can also be fully customized by adding one of our Great Scents or Additives that we carry. The after shave base has a cloudy translucence color, which can turn opaque or almost white when fragrance is added. If you plan to add fragrance to this base, we recommend choosing clean, minty, or herbal scents, as they blend well with the menthol already in this product.

Key Features of After Shave Base:

• Characteristics: Cloudy ice looking, semi-viscous gel
• Colorant: Please note that we will not add colorant to this formula.
• Directions for use: About a quarter size dollop is enough to sooth and moisturize your face.
• Fragrance Load: 0.5% Fragrance load or less recommended for leave on facial products. Be sure to test each fragrance for compatibility.
• Adding Fragrance Oil: The addition of oil may cloud your Aftershave Gel even more than it already is. We recommend you leave Gel unscented or use Poly 20 Solubilizer with your Fragrance to minimize cloudiness. See Mixing Instructions for more details.
• INCI: Deionized Water, SD Alcohol 40B, Caprylic-Capric Triglycerides, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Methicone, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate-VP Copolymer, Cetearyl Alcohol, Allantoin, Menthol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Mixing Instructions:

A solubilizer, like Polysorbate 20, can be used to help maintain translucence after adding fragrance oil. We recommend premixing the solubilizer with your fragrance before adding them to your base. Start with 1:1 ratio, adding more solubilizer until base is semi-translucent again. Fragrance load is 0.3%-0.5%

Hand mix base with spatula in a bowl to prevent incorporating too much air. Can be mixed at room temperature. Mix in your additives slowly, stirring until fully incorporated and uniform.
