The long and complex ingredients lists in shaving gels and foams often include toxic chemicals and plastics. They usually contain 80% water, the other 20% ingredients are there to lather, bind and propel out of the can. To name a few, propolene glycol is a humectant frequently found in anti-freeze and brake fluid.  Triethanolamine (TEA) is an emulsifying agent stopping the oil and water from separating but controversially it is a skin irritant often containing formulas linked to cancer. The lathering agent lauryl in Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS) mimics oestrogen (problematic for women) and sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) often hosts a known carcinogen called dioxane. You will also find mineral oil in most shaving creams, a byproduct of petroleum, locking the moisture in by blocking your pores.
