Jackfir Shave Cream Review: A Fluffy Lather Without Sketchy Ingredients

If you've spent decades begging your dad to wear daily sunscreen like me, then you know that men tend to get a bad rep when it comes to skin care.

You're more likely to find a 2-in-1 shampoo on their countertop posing as a face wash than to find actual face wash—but it's time for a change.

Skin care an essential step to skin longevity for everyone, regardless of gender. Equally important? Finding quality products made without questionable ingredients. Enter: Jackfir.

The sustainable skin care brand offers EWG Verified products formulated with certified organic ingredients.

To make things simple, every offering is tied to specific skin care concerns, such as dry skin, dark spots, or fine lines and wrinkles.

And while I have plenty of praise for the brand's entire ethos, the Jackfir Classic Shave Cream is the perfect intro to the brand.

Let's face it: Sometimes it's impossible to really understand what's actually in your skin care products. Jackfir keeps it simple.

We're also huge fans of Jackfir's transparent ingredient lists. Along with a full formula breakdown, there's an onsite pop-up that delivers a deep dive into every ingredient, from stearic acid to glyceryl caprylate.

We spend a lot of time talking about the best skin care ingredients on mindbodygreen (especially for aging skin). But it's also important to keep track of what a product doesn't contain.

Jackfir's Classic Shave Cream is made without ammonium lauryl sulfate, oxybenzone, parabens, phthalates, SLS, synthetic fragrance, triclosan, formaldehyde, and more.

We tapped our business development associate Sam Burkholder to try out this shaving cream. The 22-year-old has a pretty impressive beard—and we rarely seem him without some stubble.

While it doesn't impact product performance, Burkholder also called out the brand's sustainability efforts. He loved that Jackfir plants a tree for every bottle purchased.
