What's in that product - what did you buy?
There are many posts containing varying viewpoints of ingredients. I don't think anyone has posted photos or explained how certain ingredients are used in their product. (If this has been posted before I was unable to find it.)
I use raw ingredients to make the products I sell and I thought some of you may be interested in what they are. I'm not a photographer by any means but hope these photos and descriptions are of some help. These are random ingredients contained in SCS Shave Creme.
1.) Cosmetic grade Shea Butter. It is a soft butter and will melt at body temperature. Generally white to pale off-white and odorless. I placed an amount double of what you now see on the back of my hand. In the time it took to turn on my camera and change it to macro about one-half of it has melted onto my skin. Shea is a very skin-friendly butter widely known for it's capability of moisturization. This Shea Butter is taken from thenuts produced by the Karite tree in Africa. I purchase Shea Butter in either one or five pound blocks.
2.) Sodium Coco Sulfate. Sodium Coco Sulfate is a "natural" alternative to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in the form of flakes. Sodium Coco Sulfate is obtained from pure coconut oil. As long as you are not sensitive to coconuts or it's derivitives, SCS should be very skin-friently for you. It leaves skin and hair with a conditioned feel. It can be used in shampoos, hand soaps, bath products, shaving creams and medicated ointments. It is especially useful for cream products. I purchase Coco in 50 to 100 pound quantities.
