What's new

The US's answer to Creightons?

Earlier I reviewed the new Pacific Shaving Company's Shave cream.

Here is the link to my review with the ingredients list:

When scanning over the ingredients, I noticed they were essentially the same as the ingredients for the Vintage Blades and Classic Shaving creams. I was curious about who actually makes these creams for the different companies and I think I may have found the answer.

I believe it's a company called Nectarine, who supplies private label bath and body products for a variety of companies:

Organic Smooth-Shave Cream w/White Tea & Shea Butter
Perfect for men's beards and women's legs, this brushless shave cream is both custom-scentable and 71% Certified Organic! The Shea butter rich formula keeps skin smooth and supple. Full of highly effective Certified Organic soothers, moisturizers and anti-oxidants — aloe, sunflower oil, white and green teas, lavender, sweet almond and comfrey — skin will transform into its own best defense against harsh environmental factors, while staying soft and bump free!


I also found some other companies that I believe are using Nectarine as a supplier:

Not trying to disparage any of these companies for outsourcing their cream production as I think the product (if I am correct in thinking they are all the same and made by Nectarine) is a very good one, but thought some of you might find this of interest. I guess this is a similar situation as Creighton's manufacturing creams for the 3 Ts and others.
 
Nice work. I agree that outsourcing isn't bad per se until "home-grown" becomes a major part of the company's marketing pitch. Then it smells an awful lot like lying... or maybe just like marketing. :tongue_sm
