A quick glance at the ingredients list on shaving oils in the market will demonstrate that there are big differences in the ingredients used to make them. One key that separates the high from the low quality shaving oils is the base oil.
King of Shaves Alpha Oil Cooling contains Grape seed oil as the base. Many inferior shaving oils use liquid paraffin (such as "liquidium paraffinium"). It is included in many shave oils because it is a very inexpensive product for manufacturers to buy. It is now well established in the skincare industry that liquid paraffin has a tendency to clog pores in the skin and to cause blackhead development.
King of Shaves AlphaOil Cooling has always used Grape seed oil (or "vitis vinifera" seed oil) as a base.
Grape seed oil is used in the cosmetics/grooming industry for it pleasant emollient properties, and for its high content of linoleic acid and vitamin E. In addition, it doesn't block pores or cause blackheads. Grape seed oil is perfect for damaged or stressed tissues as it has regenerative and restructuring qualities that help to control skin moisturization. This makes it an especially optimum choice as the key ingredient in a shaving oil!
King of Shaves AlphaOil Cooling is formulated to soften, moisturize, condition, and protect skin while shaving. AlphaOil is comprised of a blend of the highest quality essential oils combined with the naturally refreshing coolness of menthol and DOES NOT contain soaps, alcohol or dyes. The heavily marketed shaving foams that most people are familiar with regularly include some or all of these in their ingredients. These ingredients rob skin of its natural moisture and can contribute to dry and irritated skin.
King of Shaves AlphaOil Cooling also contains tea tree oil, menthol, aloe, vitamin E, and is suitable for ALL skin types.
No foam formula goes on clear and allows you to see exactly where you are shaving, which is perfect when shaving around mustaches, goatees, and avoiding problem areas.
AlphaOil offers excellent value as you only need a few drops while shaving and the bottle last for up 100 shaves!
Great for the person on the go! Unlike bulky cans, it fits easily in a shaving kit and meets all the TSA carry on restriction guidelines.
