An Aftershave is any kind of liquid, oil, gel, or other substance meant to be put on your body after you shave. Producing your aftershave is not only fun but also gives you control over what goes on your skin.
While the specific benefits may vary depending on the formulation of the aftershave, the overall purpose is to enhance the post-shaving experience by promoting skin health, and minimizing irritation (They do this by clearing your pores of any bacteria that may have been present on your skin after shaving, and by then sealing up those pores to prevent the entry of any additional dirt or bacteria), and providing a pleasant scent. Aftershaves are generally designed to reduce the irritation, razor burn, and bumps caused by shaving.
It is important to note that many Aftershaves are made of unreported ingredients that you may be allergic to or that may cause irritation. So, it's very important to choose aftershaves that will suit your skin type and preferences. A good reason why you must learn how to produce your own Aftershave at home.
Here are the chemicals we have used for the Aftershave formulation:
Ethanol (3 Liters)
Ethanol acts as a solvent, helping to dissolve and blend the various ingredients in the aftershave formula. It ensures that both water-soluble and oil-soluble components mix well. Ethanol also provides an astringent effect when applied to the skin. It can help to tighten the skin by constricting the pores, giving a refreshing sensation after shaving.
Isopropyl Alcohol (1 Liter)
Isopropyl alcohol is a powerful antiseptic that helps to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin, reducing the risk of infection and promoting skin health.
Shaving can create small cuts and abrasions on the skin, which can become infected if not properly disinfected. Isopropyl alcohol helps to clean and disinfect the skin, reducing the risk of infection.
Additionally, Isopropyl alcohol can act as a solvent, helping to dissolve and distribute other ingredients evenly in the aftershave.
Menthol (1 teaspoon)
Menthol is often used in aftershave products because it can help to soothe and cool the skin after shaving. It can also help to reduce the appearance of razor burn and irritation. In addition to its cooling and soothing effects, menthol also has antiseptic properties. This means that it can help to kill bacteria and prevent infection.
Pine Oil (20 mil.)
Pine oil is used in aftershave due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the skin, pine oil helps to soothe razor burn and reduce inflammation. Additionally, pine oil can help to kill bacteria that can cause acne and other skin infections.
Glycerin (25 mil)
Glycerine is widely used in the cosmetic industry as an emollient, solvent, and humectant. Because it is a hygroscopic substance, meaning it attracts water to itself; this property makes it useful in aftershave products, where it helps to keep the skin hydrated and prevent irritation.
Perfume (10 mil or as desired)
Perfume helps to mask the scent of the alcohol in the product, making it more pleasant to use. It can also help to add a pleasant scent to the product. Perfume can also help to stabilize the scent of the aftershave, making it last longer.
The most common reason why Perfume is added to the aftershave is to give the product the desired fragrance. For those in commercial production, this could also be a way to make the brand unique.
Colorant (optional)
Color is added to give the aftershave the desired color. Color gives the product a more appealing look or aesthetic characteristic.
The color added to the aftershave also helps to mask the natural color of the ingredients of the aftershave.
Distilled water or sterile water (1 Liter)
Universal solvent. Ensure distilled water is used or water from a very clean source.
