The Body Shop Maca Root Shaving Cream

In a continuation of our coverage of the launch of The Body Shop’s Maca Root line of products, including our review of the first product in the line, we’re back with a look at the For Men Maca Root Shave Cream.
With the Maca Root Shave Cream, you can experience a closer shave with a rich, skin-softening cream that protects his skin from nicks, cuts and irritation. Here are the highlights:
* Peruvian maca root and creatine energize and help boost skin vitality.
* Community Trade Brazil nut oil and Community Trade sesame oil moisturize and soften skin.
* Community Trade aloe vera soothes and hydrates sensitive skin.

What we like about it:
* It works. Like The Body Shop's previous shaving creams, it's thick and luxurious, making for a creamy shave. It lathers very well and provides great lubrication. Skin actually feels more hydrated after using it, which was a nice treat.
* The products use fair trade Brazil nut oil to sooth skin, aloe vera, sesame oil, and other key nourishing ingredients.
* And best of all, the featured ingredient is maca, the “super food of the Andes,”. The maca root, dense with essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, was first used by the Inca more than 2,000 years ago for energy and endurance. This history now loves on in shave oil form.
