How to Swap to Non-Toxic razors:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic razors:
What to know about razors
Razors move directly across your skin, often on sensitive areas like the face, underarms, and bikini line. What matters most is the material of the blade and any parts that touch your skin. Stainless steel blades and simple designs help reduce unnecessary chemical exposure.
- Lubricating strips often contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or conditioning agents that absorb into micro-exfoliated skin.
- Razors used on the face or large areas of skin deserve higher priority than ones used occasionally.
Check the razors you already use
Most razor packaging doesn’t clearly list materials or coatings, but you can usually find details on the brand’s website. Use the Welpr Personal Care and Cosmetic Scanner for any shaving creams, gels, or aftershaves you pair with your razor.
- Look up your razor model online to see what materials are used in the blade and head — search for the product name plus 'materials.'
- Prioritize checking razors you use on your face or large areas of skin first, since they create more direct contact.
Use your current razor more safely
If you're not ready to switch razors right away, a few small changes can reduce what your skin absorbs during shaving. Freshly shaved skin is especially open to absorbing whatever sits on it.
- Rinse your razor thoroughly before first use to remove any manufacturing residue.
- Follow up with a Welpr Approved moisturizer, oil, or aftershave to support freshly shaved skin.
Choose cleaner replacements
Look for razors made with stainless steel blades and minimal plastic. Safety razors and straight razors are naturally cleaner options since they use bare metal blades with no added coatings or ingredients.
- Skip razors with added coatings, moisture bars, or ingredient-treated blades — choose simple stainless steel designs with minimal plastic.
