Here's how to swap to non-toxic aftershaves:
Aftershave is applied directly to freshly shaved skin, which is more absorbent than usual due to micro-cuts and open pores. This means ingredients absorb more easily, making the formulation especially important. Welpr focuses on what aftershave is made of — the base ingredients, how it's scented, and what preservatives are used.
Check the aftershave products you currently own by scanning their ingredient labels with the Welpr Personal Care and Cosmetic Scanner. The scanner will flag ingredients that don't meet Welpr's standards, like synthetic fragrance, harsh preservatives, or endocrine disruptors.
If you're not ready to replace your aftershave right away, a few small adjustments can reduce how much your skin absorbs. This is especially worth doing if your current product contains synthetic fragrance or ingredients that were flagged by the scanner.
Look for aftershaves with simple, short ingredient lists built around soothing plant-based ingredients like aloe, witch hazel, or natural oils. Fragrance-free is the best starting point, and if scented, it should use essential oils or plant extracts rather than synthetic fragrance.
