Ingredients

Every damn ingredient in our shaving products was carefully chosen for its unique skull care properties – but did you know each ingredient has its own pretty epic backstory, too? In fact, all our ingredients have to pass the badass-ery test in order to be included in our line-up.  Don’t believe us? Check it out:

Noni Fruit (Morinda Citrifolia Extract)

Possibly the most epic of all our ingredients, the noni fruit grows on a tree that thrives in freakin’ lava flows! Yeah, you’re gonna want to wash your skull with this stuff. Not only does noni fruit promote collagen repair and healing from skin conditions like eczema and acne, it gets its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, hydrating properties from the POWER OF THE LAVA in which it’s born. (Did we mention this thing grows in lava?!)    

Charcoal Powder

What could possibly be more manly than scrubbing your skull with charcoal? And this stuff ain’t your daddy’s backyard BBQ charcoal, either. The negative charge of our activated charcoal powder works as a high-powered magnet to suck the positively charged toxins, dirt, and oil right out of your pores, leaving your skull clear, clean, and smooth.

Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract)

Admit it – you’ve always wanted a katana. Samurais rank right up there with Jedi knights, in our opinion – and if they used to drink green tea before battle to boost their stamina, then who are we to question their wisdom?! This warrior ingredient fights against free radicals and signs of aging, minimizing sun damage and age spots on your skull.  

Mint (Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil)

If you’re an amorous Greek god, you might just find yourself dating a sprig of mint if you’re not careful – legend has it that Hades’ jealous wife turned one of his flings into the mint plant. We’re not saying your skull will be given immortality by the god of the dead or anything, but the vitamin A found in mint does strengthen skin tissue, reduce oil production, and protect against UV damage, so…yeah, actually we are saying that.

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice)

Aloe plants are hard core. They thrive on droughts and suffocating heat, poor soil and neglect. Don’t you dare try to make life easier on them with a little extra water or fertilizer – they’d rather die out of spite than look like a wuss. Rub some of this bad boy on your skull to soothe, moisturize, and cleanse after shaving.

Açai (Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract)

Like machetes? So do the berry harvesters who climb the 80-foot açai palms while holding their machetes to hack these little powerhouses off from the very top. The crazy high levels of antioxidants in açai berries keep your skull looking youthful, and the copper they contain keeps skin pigmentation even.  

Coffee Seed (Coffea Arabica Seed Extract)

It’s coffee. What’s not to love? Coffee seed oil boosts collagen and elastin, and actually reduces the amount of water that evaporates from your skin to keep your skull maximally hydrated.

Willow Bark (Salix Nigra Bark Extract)

You’ve probably heard that willow bark was the first form of aspirin discovered – but did you know that willows are also known for having the toughest, most tenacious roots, hands down? You can’t keep these trees down – they WILL find a way, no matter what. And the willow bark in our shave gel exfoliates, tightens your pores, and even disinfects your skull with its antibacterial properties.       

Oats (Beta Glucan)

Papa Bear had the right idea eating all that oatmeal, y’all. Oats contain a badass compound called phenol that’s been soothing dry, irritated skin since the ancient Romans first figured it out. Want your skull to have that unmistakable ‘gladiator’ look? Get you some oats, son.

Honey

Grizzly bears love honey, and so will you, when you see how its insanely powerful moisturizing, cleansing and skin-brightening properties rejuvenate your skull.  Heck, ancient Egyptians used to bury jars of honey with their mummies – if it can rejuvenate a mummy’s skull, just imagine how great yours will look!

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana Water)

Native Americans traditionally used witch hazel to treat their skin, and they definitely knew what they were doing – witch hazel is one of the most powerful treatments for acne and oily skin there is, and the polyphenols in witch hazel can even help stop cellular damage that leads to skin cancer.

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa Serrulata Extract)

Betcha didn’t know that saw palmetto berries are known to increase sperm count and maintain prostate health, did ya? Put some of this bad boy on your skull and watch it nourish your scalp with its fatty acids and cleanse the oils right out of your pores.

Grape (Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract)

Grapes may be the main ingredient in one of your favorite adult beverages, but they’ve also got some mad anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging skills. You could splash some wine on your skull, but you’ll smell a lot better using SKULLSKAPE’s vintage.  

Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis Wax)

Joe loves jojoba wax for its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. It’s Joe’s absolute favorite ingredient. Joe doesn’t go a single day without reaping the benefits of jojoba wax. Joe who, you ask? Joe Mama! (Sorry, yes, we know, you don’t pronounce the j in jojoba that way, but c’mon – could you have resisted a Joe Mama joke?!)  

Goji Berry (Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract)

You’ve probably heard of goji berries – but did you know they go by another name, too? Wolfberries. And they give your skull the fierce energy of the wolf with their skin toning and stimulating properties. Grow-wwl. 

Pomegranate (Punica Granatum Fruit Extract)

Don’t tell your wife, but legend has it that the goddess of love, Aphrodite, planted the first pomegranates. You may be letting another woman take care of your skull…but your wife will appreciate the way its antioxidants keep your scalp looking youthful.  

Mangosteen (Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Extract)

This Asian fruit was once so prized that Queen Victoria offered 100 pounds sterling to anyone who would bring her some. And now look at you – you can just rub it on your skull with reckless abandon anytime you want! Living like royalty, man. Your skin actually has enzymes in it that degrade collagen and elastin – and mangosteen fights back to disable those enzymes and keep your skull looking good.  

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Leaf Oil)

For centuries, cinnamon was so lucrative and so intensely fought over that selling even one stick of cinnamon without permission meant death. We braved the dangers to bring it to you so your skull can reap its anti-aging, anti-microbial, and antioxidant benefits. You’re welcome.

Water

Ever heard of the Grand Canyon? Carved out by water. The Hoover Dam? The water it holds back puts 45,000 pounds of pressure per square foot on that sucker. And you’ve watched Deadliest Catch, right? It may sound boring on an ingredients list, but there’s not much that’s more powerful on this earth than water.  

Sea Salt

There’s nothing quite as invigorating as the salt spray of the ocean – but a sea salt skull massage comes in a close second! Exfoliating and moisturizing, sea salt might just give you some of those Aquaman vibes – but without all that ridiculous hair.
