Do All Proraso Shave Creams Have Menthol!

[Tarak83]

I like the performance, scent, and ease of Proraso Green Shave Cream, but I’m finding I’m sensitive to menthol. I do not enjoy the scent of the red. Does the White and Blue have menthol too? Same amount?

What would be an alternative given my menthol issue?

I think green is the only one with menthol.

Red is sandalwood to the maximum power.

Blue reminds me of nivea post shave balm sensitive skin, but maybe not as potent? I've only smelled blue from the end of the open tube a couple of times.

I haven't had white (yet).

I have heard good things about the Proraso Cypress and Vetiver, that is next on my list from Proraso.

The green is the only one with menthol.

The white bowl version does have some menthol, not nearly as much as the green, though. The white tube does not have it. The blue tube does have some menthol in the ingredients list.

These might not be strong enough to bother you. The green also has eucalyptus which is a problem for some people.

Only the green and blue have menthol, currently.
Super Formula white bowl and tube don't have menthol.

You might try Proraso Wood & Spice shave cream!
No menthol!

 

[MntnMan62]

I have Red, Blue, White and Green. The only one with menthol is Green. The others don't. I can't speak for the new single edge line of creams as I haven't tried any of them.

 

[ask4Edge]

Blue has menthol too (red and new white have no menthol).

I'm interested in the ingredients of the new "super formula" Proraso.
Anyone try it yet, and how does it compare?

 

[ask4Edge]

In terms of ingredients, SF is different,
and in terms of lather/performance, a bit better, ime.

 

[Dovo1695]

The white Proraso in the tub does have some menthol, but I found it to be fairly muted. It's really just a hint of menthol really. If you have a chemical sensitivity to menthol though, probably best to avoid.

New SF white jar has no menthol:

Thanks for the info.

@sarimento1
Wood and spice has menthol for sure. There is a slight cooling sensation.
Cypress and vetyver doesn't have any menthol.

 

[ask4Edge]

Only the green and blue have menthol, currently.
Super Formula white bowl and tube don't have menthol.

Addendum:
This applies to the core offerings (green, red, white, blue), vs Single Blade.

on closer inspection, you are totally correct!
but very mild!

Strange question, but I bought a tube of green the other day. Is it normally so runny? It’s an odd consistency, different from any other cream I’ve used.

I think the Proraso creams are fairly thin.....compared to say, Taylor of Old Bond Street.

I stand corrected! The new formula (since 2018?) for Proraso white does not have menthol. The original stuff did, but it was very subtle.
