Then there are the chemicals such as Sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulphate . These are the foaming agents in grooming products and they have been linked to irritations , dermatitis and more . Parabens ( preservatives ) have been linked to lowering in testosterone levels and Phthalates are linked to Asthma , cancer and other health problems .
Take some time , Ladies & Gentlemen and look at the label and review your products before putting them in the shopping basket or certainly on your body .
The good news is that there are a plethora of brands that are now combating the lack of Green Grooming and leading the charge in both the ethical , sustainable and ecologically friendly Male Grooming Products . We have chosen a few brands that stand out for us .
Gentleman Hack - Ecological Shaving
Swap the multi-blade razor with their expensive heads for a Safety Razor with double-edged safety razor blades . Yes , you will have to take your time over your shave and yes , there will be a little bit of up front cost for the handle but then after that a packet of blades can last you a very long time for a minimal cost .
We recommend Thomas Clipper for the handle but the blades you can pick up for as little as £ 7 /$ 10 for 100 blades and we would be surprised if you got through those in a good couple of years !
Bulldog
Is the daddy on the block , the first company to be approved on Humane Cosmetics Standards by Cruelty Free International . The products are not tested on animals nor derive any ingredients from Animals making them Vegan friendly . Naturally , they are free from all those nasty chemicals and to top it all they are affordable !
