SANTA MARIA NOVELLA

Melograno Before and After Shave Cream

A hydrating and replenishing multi-tasking shaving cream with squalane, shea butter, and skin-softening plant oils.

$58.00

EDITOR’S NOTE

We appreciate a multi-tasker, particularly one that aces all three jobs. Use it to prep, shave, and replenish afterward—the nourishing texture is especially welcome when skin feels tight post-hair removal.

Product details

This rich cream is designed for use before, during, and after shaving. Nourishing squalane and shea butter condition the skin, while borage and evening primrose oils supply replenishing lipids.

Applied before shaving, the cream helps prepare skin and soften the area; used as a shaving foam, it provides slip for the razor; and afterward, it helps restore moisture and comfort.

The irritation-free formula is scented with Santa Maria Novella’s signature Melograno fragrance.

Inside the Formula

Squalane: A lightweight emollient that helps soften skin and support its moisture barrier.
Shea butter: Rich in fatty acids that nourish and condition dry or freshly shaved skin
Borage seed oil: An emollient plant oil rich in essential fatty acids that helps replenish the skin
Evening primrose oil: Helps condition skin and support softness and comfort

how to use

Apply two to three minutes before shaving to soften and prepare the skin.
It can also be used in place of shaving cream to help the razor glide, or applied after shaving to replenish moisture and support the skin barrier.
