Product Information

Noxzema ( / n ɒ k ˈ s iː m ə/ nok- SEE-mə) [1] is a brand of skin cleanser marketed by Unilever. Since 1914, [2] it was sold in a small cobalt blue jar; but is now sold in a blue plastic jar. Noxzema contains camphor, menthol, phenol and eucalyptus, among other ingredients. Originally developed as a sunburn remedy, it is a type of cold cream or vanishing cream (so named because it disappears after being left on for a few minutes) which is used as a facial cleanser and make-up remover. Noxzema Perfect Shaving Cream is the ideal way to get your skin ready for a comfortable shave, it also moisturizes and tones the skin and helps prevent reddening. The formula is enriched with Hyaluronic acid that helps to regenerate the skin, Allantoin, with a moisturizing and soothing effect, and Vitamin E, with it's notable antioxidant properties. It contains NO silicones, mineral oils or parabens, making it especially suitable for the most sensitive skin. Dermatologically tested. Sunburn: It gives immediate relief to the skin reddening by the sun and calms the burning sensation. In this section, we’ll take a closer look at the key ingredients used in Noxzema skin care products. As you’ll see, the brand uses many ingredients that may do more harm than good for your skin, including denatured alcohol, seed oils high in unsaturated fats, and synthetic fragrance blends. The Noxzema Moisturizing Cleansing Cream is very similar to the Original Cleansing Cream, with the main difference being the addition of glycerin to this formula. Glycerin is a humectant that helps to keep the skin hydrated.

a b Angela Taylor (April 14, 1972). "1914 to Now: The Little Blue jar's Story". The New York Times. While salicylic acid is the active ingredient in the Noxzema Anti Blemish Pads, these pads contain an extremely high concentration of denatured alcohol. The problem with this type of alcohol is that, at first, it seems like it’s benefitting the skin. Initially, alcohol gives products a immediately degreases the skin, helping to control shine and dry out blemishes. Unfortunately, this is a short term benefit. With long term use, denatured alcohol can lead to excessive skin dryness, irritation, and even disruption of the skin barrier. In fact, alcohol can dry out the skin so much that the skin will produce more oil over time to compensate for the dryness. This can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. For this reason, we don’t recommend Noxzema Anti Blemish Pads for treating acne. Noxzema Anti Blemish Pads are formulated for the treatment of acne. They are claimed to help clear pores, treat current pimple breakouts, and help prevent future ones, leaving you with smooth, soft, refreshed skin. However, as you’ll learn in the next section, the Noxzema pads have the potential to cause excessive skin dryness and make acne worse. In 1989 Procter & Gamble acquired the brand as part of the acquisition of Noxell. Alberto-Culver bought the rights to the brand in 2008 from Procter & Gamble [12] and operated the line of skin-care products [13] until Alberto-Culver was acquired by Unilever in 2010. [14] In October 2014, the Noxzema brand in Greece changed its ownership from Procter & Gamble to a domestic company, Sarantis, for €8.7 million. [15] Advertising [ edit ]Formerly called Bacteria Fighting Cleanser, this Noxzema face wash has a rich, creamy formula to clean deep down and help eliminate pore clogging impurities such as dirt and makeup, and remove oil-created shine. Many of these foams also contain mineral oils which are again not good for the skin. Natural oils found in creams and soaps are, but not mineral oils. When it comes to buying a lubricant for our face, for the purposes of wet shaving, then we have a few choices: If you haven't used a shaving foam like this before, then our buying guide should really help you out.

These are metal aerosol cans, filled with pressurised foam and have been around since the 1950's. A surfactant is a chemical product which is engineered to create less friction between two surfaces. In the 1960s the company changed its name to Noxell Corporation, presumably to represent its expansion beyond the core activity for which it had been known. (They were the makers of Cover Girl makeup which was an enormously successful line) Its incredible profits led to Procter & Gamble purchasing the company. Subsequent years proved less successful. The shaving foam was made under licence in Italy and became associated as an Italian product. but the cream was left to fade away. Procter & Gamble looked for a buyer. It eventually fell into the hands of Unilever and in 2013 Unilever relaunched the entire Noxzema line. Beginning in 1920, the cream was produced by Bunting. In 1926, Noxzema Chemical Company broke ground and built a small factory in Baltimore, Maryland at the corner of W. 32 St. & Falls Cliff Rd. [6] In 1926, N.C.C. applied for a trade-mark with the U.S. Patent Office. [7] By 1937, 15 million units were being sold yearly. [8] It can also be used for soothing chapped, sunburned, or otherwise irritated skin; and for getting rid of acne and other blemishes (as it draws dirt out of pores when left on for a few minutes or more). Since the introduction of Noxzema, the brand name has appeared on shaving cream, razors, and skin-cleansing cloths. The main product and its line extensions have been marketed by a series of companies: Noxzema Chemical Company, Noxell Corporation, Procter & Gamble and Alberto-Culver ( Unilever).They don't do that good a job at protecting the skin, and they are also full of chemicals which are not good for your skin. People buy these to squirt some foam on to their face for a quiet shave. Cardona, Mercedes M. (April 26, 1999). "P&G Reclaims Noxzema Franchise with Fitness". Advertising Age . Retrieved June 3, 2021. Noxzema Skin Fitness In this case it is your skin and any form of blade. The problem with that chemical is that it also stops water and moisture getting into the skin. That means the skin gets dehydrated and that is not good for healthy skin.

The original formula for Noxzema was invented by Dr. Francis J. Townsend [3] (1875-?), a physician/druggist by 1900, in Snow Hill, Maryland; by 1910, in Berlin, Maryland; and by 1920, in Ocean City, Maryland. [4] The formula was called "Townsend R22" and referred to commonly as "no-eczema". [5] Dr. Townsend, who practiced near the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, prescribed it as a remedy, mainly to beach resort vacationers who were severely burned by ultraviolet sun rays.

If you are in a hurry and simply want to know which the best options are, then directly below we have provided you with a top 10 list of the best shaving foams available on the UK market. You’ll also find camphor and menthol in the Noxzema skin care products. Upon application, menthol triggers cold sensitive receptors in the skin while camphor stimulates nerve endings sensitive to heat and cold, producing a warm sensation when vigorously applied, or a cool sensation when applied gently. This leads to what the brand calls the “Noxzema tingle”. However, just because a product feels like it’s working doesn’t mean that it actually is. In fact, these two ingredients have the potential to cause skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. Our preferred selection would be a soap, then the cream, then a gel and never the foam. Despite what we think, many UK buyers will buy these cans of foam. The brand’s best selling product is the Noxzema Original Cleansing Cream, a rich cream that can be applied to wet or dry skin to reach deep into pores to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, leaving your skin soft and smooth. The formula contains menthol and camphor, ingredients that lead to the classic “Noxzema tingle”. Noxzema Daily Deep Pore Cleanser also contains salicylic acid as the key ingredient, and, fortunately, this formula does not contain any denatured alcohol. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is commonly used for the treatment of acne, according to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. It easily enters pores and helps to loosen clogged dirt and oil. It also has the ability to dissolve keratin, the protein that acts as a “glue” to keep dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This is effective because dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, leaving it looking dull and also possibly clogging pores.

What Are The Key Noxzema Ingredients? Neff, Jeff (January 28, 2010). "Alberto-Culver to Begin Review for Global Creative, Media Duties". Advertising Age. a b Jacques Kelly (February 14, 2009). "Old Building a Homely Piece of City History". Baltimore Sun.In our opinion, Noxzema products deliver value for money, but take a look at other brands that don’t require you to sacrifice your precious money. The two key ingredients that you’ll find in several Noxzema skin care products — including the Original Cleansing Cream — are linseed oil and soybean oil. The ingredients function as emollients, helping to keep the skin soft and smooth. However, we’d like to point out that both of these oils are rich in linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Unfortunately, PUFAsare very unstable and prone to oxidation, which means they easily go rancid and can lead to the generation of free radicals that can damage our cells and lead to signs of aging. Fortunately, this may not be much of a problem since this is a rinse off product. We’d like to point out that all Noxzema skin care products contain synthetic fragrance ingredients. Even though the brand includes fragrance to create a pleasant smell when consumers use their products, these fragrance ingredients aren’t doing your skin any good. All fragrance ingredients (whether natural or synthetic) impart scent through a volatile reaction, and this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. You may not have an immediate reaction to the fragrance in Noxzema skin care products, but the damage could still be occurring every day. Ultimately, this can cause mild problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term. Where are Noxzema Skin Care Products Sold?
