Introduction
Shaving products are used on freshly abraded or micro-cut skin, which calls for a more conservative irritancy threshold than a standard rinse-off or leave-on product. Beard oils and balms, by contrast, are assessed as leave-on facial-hair products with their own exposure considerations around the jawline and perioral area. This cosmetic product safety report for beard and shaving cosmetics is designed for products such as beard oil, beard balm, shaving soap, shave cream, shave gel and aftershave.
