So Yummy I Want To Eat It!

EOS' Pomegranate Raspberry Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream smells truly delicious! The cream is soft and smooth but leaves some irritation. If I didn't have such sensitive skin, EOS shave cream would have been a bigger hit in my bathroom!

Use

I would only recommend using this on legs and underarms because it leaves irritation around the bikini area. I must say that any man or woman with "normal" skin will truly enjoy EOS' Ultra moisturizing shave cream. If you have delicate or sensitive skin it can cause minor irritation on the legs and underarms and it will leave major irritation on the bikini area. It could be used on the face but with my irritation experiences on other sensitive areas of the body, I would not recommend it.

Ultra moisturizing is good for any day you need a shave but is especially useful in rushing situations as it can be used dry. It is great for the morning you decide to wear that cute tank-top but have no time to jump in the tub to wet the pits.

The ingredients in the EOS Ultra moist shave cream are:
Water (Eau), Mineral Oil (Huile Minerale), Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Glycol Stearate, Triethanolamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Glucono Delta Lactone, Sodium Benzoate, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Titanium Dioxide (CI77891), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carbomer, Fragrance (Parfum), Disodium EDTA, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter(, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional

If you are allergic or have had bad reactions to any of these products I do not recommend use! I do know that Fragrance (parfum) is usually the culprit in irritating the skin of those with Eczema.
    • Bath / shower

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

EOS' Ultra shave cream has a texture similar to a thin lotion and the pomegranate raspberry scented shave cream has a very light chalky pink color. It is not greasy or sticky but seems more like runny lotion. I like the feeling of this cream but it does not provide a thick enough layer on the skin when shaving. It does run and it will rinse off easily when exposed to splashing because of how thin it is. Because it runs and rinses easily it needs to be reapplied often. The thin runny consistency does come in handy because it does not clog up the razor.

I believe the pump on my bottle is broken because it takes 7-8 pumps to get a sufficient amount of shave cream. It does come out of the pump top easily but 1 pump will not provide enough cream for any part of the body.
    • Creamy
    • Thin

Taste / Aroma

I find the scent of this product is the best aspect of it. It has a very strong scent but not overwhelming, it smells so good that I wish it were edible. It does have a raspberry scent but the scent is not sour enough to be that of a pomegranate. I do not recommend tasting it because it does not taste as yummy as it smells; it tastes more like chemicals unfortunately.
    • Smells good

Performance

One bottle of EOS Ultra moisturizing shave cream lasted me about 2 months. These 2 months consisted of underarm shaving 3-4 times a week and leg shaving every other week.

I was not thrilled with the performance of this product at all. This moisturizing shave cream is very thin and will have to be reapplied during a session of leg shaving. In a wet "splashy" environment, this shave cream does not stick to the skin. There is also a tug and pull feel during shaving which can be uncomfortable.

It did cause irritation on the legs and underarms but that irritation did not compare to the irritation this product caused in my bikini area. If you have sensitive skin DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR BIKINI LINE!
    • Allergy concerns
    • Long lasting
    • Reapply often

Packaging

EOS Shave Cream comes in a 7oz. plastic bottle that seems unnecessarily large. I compared the size of this bottle to the size of my Simply Sensual bottle (which is 8oz.) and EOS is bigger, but with less ounces.


There are also odd ridges on the sides of the bottle, they look like gripping ridges but they do not really fit the hands shape. Even through the bottle is large and odd it is recyclable. Please recycle; lady earth will love you for it!

EOS Shave Cream's bottle is great for travel because it has a cap! With EOS you won’t have to deal with the complicated push down then twist procedure that is common on other pump top bottles. The EOS bottle is not discreet but seems to stand out like a sore thumb! The bottles are large and most of them are brightly colored. I would think that there would be decent directions on a bottle so extravagant but nope. "Pump two or three times. Apply thin layer, shave, touch, and smile." I do not think directions can get any simpler or more minimal than that.
    • Not discreet
    • Recyclable
    • Travel friendly

Experience

The only thing I like about EOS Pomegranate Raspberry Shave Cream, is its smell. The scent of this product makes me wish it was edible. Other than how it smells, EOS didn't work for my sensitive skin.

When I used EOS on my legs, my legs became very dry, bumpy, and itchy. Unfortunately, I had similar reactions when used on my armpits. Along with my armpits being itchy and bumpy, they also became sore because of the high friction area. Even after applying a moisturizing deodorant my poor pits still hurt, but the chaffing did go away. As for my bikini line... it did not work. Irritation began almost instantly and even with moisturizing and exfoliating, the razor bumps lasted for almost 2 weeks. This has been my worst experience with shaving cream and my bikini area.

Right now, the bottle is sitting in my shower, not being used. I may pass it on to a friend but at the same time, I do not want anyone to go through what I went through with this product.
