| abstract |
A soap-free, brushless non-lathering shaving cream is disclosed, which is endowed with both a potent softening action on the beard hair and emollient and curative action on the skin, characterized in that it comprises, instead of stearic acid and its sodium and triethanolamine salts that are generally used in conventional shaving cream formulations, from 4 to 15% by weight of a long-chain alcohol selected from stearyl, lauryl, cetyl, myristyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. |
