Is Cremo Vanilla Orchid Shave Cream fragrance-free?

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

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 Vanilla Orchid Shave Cream is a concentrated shave cream with a soft scent of orchid petals, vanilla and musk. Cremo sells it in its women’s range, but the formula is a standard Cremo concentrated shave cream and works on any skin you shave.

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 the formula becomes slick with water and helps reduce razor irritation. The page gives no clinical figures.
