Abstract
The present invention embraces a shaving composition comprising about 65 to 90% water, about 5 to 25% of a water-soluble surface active foaming agent, and about 0.2 to 2.3%, preferably about 0.3 to about 1.5%, and more preferably about 0.5 to about 1.0%, of cysteamine. Such a shaving composition provides improved shaving comfort when compared to a similar shaving composition without the reducing agent, particularly when utilized in conjunction with a humectant aftershave treatment.
