Amazing Earth Pre Shave Oil contains castor oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil and jojoba oil. These oils are there to soften stubble before shaving so the razor can move more smoothly across the skin. Castor oil gives the blend some cushion, while almond, olive and jojoba help condition both the hair and the skin underneath.
That combination can be useful if shaving leaves your skin feeling scraped, dry or irritated. Amazing Earth Pre Shave Oil is not there to replace your shaving cream, it is there to prep the beard area first. Oils like jojoba and sweet almond are commonly used in pre-shave products because they improve glide and help reduce the rough feel that can come from dragging a razor across dry stubble.
