Men have needs too.

Aubrey Organics has completely revamped its entire line of men's products to include hair, skin and facial care. With products ranging from $8 to $22.50, the Men's Stock collection is both affordable and functional. The Ginseng Biotin Hair Care system uses the Chinese herb He Shou Wu to promote healthy hair growth and cedar wood and peppermint oils to stimulate the scalp, along with a natural coconut base that leaves hair smelling lightly fragrant. The Flaxseed Lignan Facial Care system is instilled with organics that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents to keep skin smooth and clean. My favorite offering is the shaving system, which is available in three scents. The face scrub prepares skin gently while the aftershave balm hydrates and the aftershave lotion tightens skin.

Jason Natural Cosmetics has also created a shaving system that works and feels better than almost any I've tried. The 6-in-1 shaving lotion is made with organic aloe vera to lubricate and sooth skin during shaving while the jojoba beads add a fragrance and texture that is unlike typical gels. The 6-in-1 aftershave is made with the same aloe vera base and adds chamomile to sooth and witch hazel to tone. The greaseless formula is absorbed quickly by thirsty skin, leaving only smoothness behind. The best part about the Jason system is that it protects against razor burn by eliminating harsh chemicals that would usually irritate skin after shaving. After using the product several times I never experienced the normal bumps and irritation that we've all come to associate with foamy drug store shave gels and alcohol-based aftershaves.

Also now owned by Jason's corporate parent, Hain Celestial Group, is Zia Natural Skincare, which has just launched a new line of luxurious men's personal care items, such as a fragrance-free face Wash fortified with aloe vera and vitamins A, C and E. The shaving products include algae extracts to aid razor glide and eucalyptus and plantain to treat and soothe skin.
