What it does
A 3-in-1 syndet bar designed for body, face, and shaving that uses moisturizing cream instead of traditional soap.
- Syndet technology prevents the epidermal damage associated with alkaline soaps
- Contains sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate for stronger cleansing power
- Crisp aquatic scent profile with mandarin citrus, patchouli, and rosemary
- Dermatologically tested formula to fight skin dryness
- Non-greasy foam that rinses away easily
Ideal for men seeking a simple, affordable upgrade from harsh bar soaps. The main trade-off is that stronger fragrances and artificial dyes may irritate those with very sensitive skin.
