Is Cremo Sandalwood Shave Cream fragrance-free?

The brand does not market it as fragrance free. The label lists these scent ingredients: Fragrance.

Is the cetearyl alcohol in this formula drying?

No. Cetearyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens a formula. It isn't the drying alcohol (ethanol) people try to avoid.

What it is

Cremo Sandalwood Shave Cream is the brand’s original concentrated formula with a woody sandalwood scent. Cremo says the formula is the same as its original cream.

Key ingredients

How to use

Splash your face with water for about 30 seconds. Squeeze out an almond-sized amount and spread a thin coat over wet skin; it doesn’t need to lather. Shave with any blade, adding a little water if the cream starts to feel tacky.

Who should be careful

The label lists fragrance, so this isn’t a choice for anyone avoiding scented shave products. Cremo makes a separate Sensitive Skin cream without synthetic fragrance, though it does contain essential oils.

What the brand claims

Cremo says it gives the same slick, close shave as the Original. Its page also mentions essential oils and anti-inflammatory ingredients, but the recorded list shows fragrance rather than named essential oils, and the page doesn’t say which ingredient is anti-inflammatory.
