A natural shaving cream or a natural shaving cream alternative like this Dr. Bronner's Organic Shaving Soap can help moisturize and nourish your skin, while also protecting it from your very sharp razor, too. Plus, naturally derived shaving creams have ingredients that are chemical-free, so you’re not putting harsh chemicals on your skin every time you go to shave.

If you can’t tell by its name alone, shaving cream is a self-care product that protects and moisturizes your skin when you use a razor to have hair off your body. It softens your hair and lathers it up to create a protective barrier between your skin and the razor blade. Why’s this important? Well, if you’ve ever gotten razor burn or cut yourself trying to shave without shaving cream, then you’re no stranger to the idea of shaving cream. The cream helps protect your most sensitive areas like armpits and knees, so you can get your smoothest shave without worrying — even when you’re in a hurry.
Some people wonder if shaving cream is worth it, and we think it is — you can’t put a price on protecting your skin from a razor. For the best eco-friendly products, shop all shaving creams and razors on Grove.
It may be an old wives’ tale that shaving cream can help with sunburn. The reality is that using shaving cream for sunburns can help cool and reduce swelling, but it can’t help heal your burn. If you’re looking for products that will heal sunburns quicker than on its own, we recommend trying Badger Balm Aloe Vera Gel or Badger Balm After Sun Balm, both available on Grove for Grove members. You can also shop all sunscreen and sun care to protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays before it gets burned.
Keep in mind, even though shaving cream for sunburns isn’t the proper go-to for healing, many people still do use it to help with the swelling and extreme heat you can feel on your skin. If you’re looking for a quick cooldown and don’t have aloe vera products at home, you can use shaving cream until you get a proper care product for your burn.
