Hello, ladies! Raise your hands if you shave.
Seriously, shaving one’s legs (and whatever girly parts) is such a pain. And since we can’t magically wake up with satin smooth legs in the morning, the next best thing is to stock up on the best shaving tools like shavers for sensitive skin and shaving creams.
When I was younger, I just shaved with soap. What a disaster. I got razor burns and ingrown hairs. Ugh! I know better now though and have tried different products to find my favorites.
I’m sharing with you my top 5 products with my pick for the best shaving cream for women. Incidentally, I had to update the title to my post because apparently, a lot of the products below are used by men who regularly shave their beards. And boy do they know a lot about shaving!
The Best Shaving Cream for Women
#5: Avalon Organics Cream Shave
I first tried this out because of the lovely packaging and the ingredients. I love organic anything and the fact that it had lavender was a big pull for me to try it. Overall, it was a good buy and I’d be happy to use this again.
Amazon’s Choice for Oganic Shave Cream.
Pros
- Good for those looking for organic products; it has no parabens, pthalates, harmful sulfates, artificial colors or fragrances, and toxic preservatives
- Has good stuff like lavender, chamomile, and green tea; also has beta glucan so that nicks heal faster
- Great for sensitive skin; if you suffer from psoriasis, you can give this a try
- Washes off easily
- Very emollient
Cons
- You need a lot of product for one shave
- One 8 oz. tube of Avalon Organics Nourishing Lavender Moisturizing Cream Shave
- Replenishes and moisturizes skin for an ultra-smooth, comfortable shave
- Certified organic, plant-based formula made with organic botanicals and essential oils

#4: Alba Botanica Moisturizing Cream Shave
I’m not a particular fan of the Alba Botanica brand but I do really like their shaving cream. It does its job well and it smells great!

Cons
- May come a bit spilled if you have this shipped

#3: EOS Tropical Fruit Shave Cream
I love EOS! I can’t say it’s for everybody but it suits my body chemistry. Before I tried their product, I was using a foam-type shaving cream so it was a bit of a change to use a lotion-type, as this one is.
All four variants are the bomb and I had a hard time picking just the one. They leave my bathroom smelling amazing!
Amazon’s Choice for EOS Shaving Cream.
Pros
- Great shaving lotion; just the right thickness
- Glides so smoothly on skin and gives a clean, and moisturized shave
- Recommended for women who are prone to razor burns; great for sensitive skin
- You can shave often with this product without getting the usual damage to your skin
- The dry shaving claim is real
- Comes in four scents: Tropical fruit, Lavender Jasmine, Pomegranate Raspberry, and Vanilla Bliss
Cons
- Not organic, although it IS paraben-free
- Not recommended for women who don’t like scented products
- Leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth
- 24 hour ultra-soothing moisture for wet or dry shaving
- Aloe soothes, moisturizes and heals the skin

#2 : Coochy Rash Free FROSTED CAKE Shave Creme
Some women are absolute nuts for vanilla and while I personally cringe from using anything that smells like vanilla, I admit I’m something of a hypocrite because I love smelling it on other people. If you love sweet scents and need a good shaving cream for your girl parts, this is the product for you!
No products found.
Pros
- Recommended for a close shave in your bikini area and other sensitive girl parts
- Gives a smooth and close shave; very emollient
- Leaves your skin soft, moisturized and smelling like a delicious cupcake baking (FYI, the smell is actually light.)
- Recommended for women who get bumps after shaving (especially if you try the unscented one)
- A small amount goes a long way
Cons
- You can’t lock it back on again once you’ve opened it so if you’re traveling, you can’t bring this bottle along

#1: Cremo Coconut Mango Moisturizing Shave Cream
This is my current pick for the best shaving cream for women. Again, I can’t say this would be everybody’s pick but right now, I love using this product.
Amazon’s Choice For Bikini Shave Gel.
Pros
- Effective and does it’s job; gives a very close shave and saves you from the usual shaving woes like bumps, ingrown hair, and razor burn
- Recommended for women who usually get allergies from personal care products; great for women with sensitive skin
- The mango coconut scent is divine; smells great when shaving in the bathroom and can’t get enough of it (men, in particular, who shave their beards with this product prefer the lavender variant)
- Good for shaving legs, face, and other girly parts
- Goes a long way as you only need an almond sized dollop of product; for your underarm, use a pea-sized dot only
- No residue and washes off easily
Cons
- Needs to be used exactly as directed or it won’t activate and you won’t get the full benefits
- Not organic
Pro tip:
I’m seeing some users who use Cremo without reading the instructions properly and then don’t get a close shave. Follow the directions!
Rub your skin with hot water for 30 seconds or use a hot towel at the sink. Squeeze out an almond-sized dollop and add a few drops of water. Don’t expect a foaming lather. It’s more of a thin film of product. Work it onto your skin and shave.
- ASTONISHINGLY SMOOTH - Cremo shaving cream contains unique molecules that become impossibly slick when mixed with water, so your blade can...
- LOVE THE SHAVE - Our same impossibly slick formula with nourishing aloe, calendula and papaya extract
- QUALITY - Enjoy a clean, comfortable shave while fighting nicks, razor burn and irritation with this shave cream for women
