Thread: Suggestions for 100% organic shaving soaps...

Just wondering what shaving specific soaps are out there that are made with 100% organic ingredients.

For the last few years I've been using Classic Shaving mug soap but my wife clued me in on some not so natural ingredients i.e. titanium dioxide, Cocamidopropyl Hdyroxysultaine (surfactant), etc.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Not a soap as such, but a shave cream, 'Gaia for men' is 100% all natural, works like a charm and is also a 100% Australian product. So even if you live in Europe or the US you can at least say you aren't supporting a sweathouse, slave labour, asian type factory, not that all asian factories are sweat house's but you surely know what I mean. If it wasn't for a little bit of SAD I would even consider using this one exclusively myself.

I've tried Herban Cowboy and Natural Grooming (or something like that). They are both soaps and they are not very good. They smell alright, but don't make a good lather. The lather also dries very quickly on your face, increasing friction.

"Pre de Provence" soap is very nice. I use it often. I don't recognize any weird chemicals on the ingredient list, no parabens, or other major offenders. It has a nice herbal scent, makes a good lather and is reasonably priced. They also make a cream in a tube, but i haven't tried it. I just use the soap.

I can't remember off the top of my head and I'm on my phone so I'm not looking it up right now, but iirc Mama Bear has a good selection if organic stuff.

I have Mama Bears Organic Soap pucks and I am very pleased with them and their service.

Maybe Mitchell's Wool Fat ??? If the formula is really as old as it's supposed to be, it shouldn't have too much unpronounceable stuff.

I didn't know this existed: DR Harris Naturals Shaving Soap is is 99% natural, 98% Certified Organic. [I don't know what constitutes the 1-2 % left]

Thanks so much for the responses. I'm going to order up a few pucks of Mama Bears and DR Harris's.

I noticed my post could lead to confusion: The natural DR harris are a different product litterally called: DR Harris Naturals Shaving Soap. All DR Harris do not pretend to be natural.

mama bear or tade- it's French with laurel oil and olive oil i think. i have very sensitive skin and they work great. in general i try to avoid creams b/c they seem to all have more chemicals to keep the bacteria colonies at bay- they tend to itch and irritate.
