I have had the stick for some time now and really think its a great soap. I received the sensitive cream as a sample with an order from Spain. I transferred it to a bowl and let it dry out for a few weeks. Finally tried it today. This is remarkable cream. Overall i am very pleased with the LaToja lineup.
I love the regular cream in combination with the excellent AS. My tube of sensitive is still waiting but I had a sniff right now and to me it is slightly sweet and soapy whereas the regular is fresh/aquatic soapy. Neither is overwhelmingly strong but there is a discernible difference.
Sensitive formulations usually omit fragrance ingredients that are more prone to sensitizing reactions, and often have less overall fragrance additives.
Roughly half of men who shave have sensitive skin, it's not surprising since shaving disrupts the barrier function of the skin, particularly so if you shave daily. Skin with a weakened barrier function is going to allow more sensitizing chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin, potentially triggering innate immunity and inflammatory reactions. So that's why these types of products are a thing at all.
Happy to have received my tube of la toja (regular) today. Very impressed that the tube has a built in metal seal with a special puncture tool on the outside of the cap. The scent is spot on to the aftershave. Can’t wait to try it out.
