Shaving Cream Type-1, as per IS 9740:2018, refers to a lathering shaving cream that is intended to be used with a brush. The cream is formulated to produce a rich, stable lather when worked with water and a shaving brush, helping to soften the beard and provide lubrication during shaving.
This type of shaving cream typically contains:
Soap base or surfactants to generate lather
Humectants and moisturizers to protect and hydrate skin
Emollients to aid glide and reduce friction
Fragrance and optional skin-soothing ingredients
The product should:
Lather easily and richly with a brush
Be stable and smooth in consistency
Provide a protective cushion and lubrication for a close, comfortable shave
Be safe, non-irritating, and easy to rinse off
Testing of lathering shaving cream under IS 9740:2018 ensures the product meets defined safety, performance, and quality standards, making it suitable for consumer use and regulatory compliance.
Assess lathering characteristics including volume, stability, and texture
Determine pH value to ensure it is skin-friendly and non-irritating
Evaluate non-volatile matter content to confirm formulation strength
Verify consistency, spreadability, and rinsability
Check for the presence of heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic, mercury) to ensure safety
Test for microbial contamination (bacterial and fungal limits) for product hygiene
Ensure product stability during storage and usage conditions
Confirm compliance with labeling and packaging requirements as per BIS standards.
