If you have sensitive skin or are prone to razor burns, then you would probably find it difficult or painful to shave some parts of your body safely. It is especially so if you are going to shave the tender skin of your armpits and legs, and one wrong move can result in redness, irritation, and in worst cases, cuts.

To prevent these mishaps from happening, you will need shaving creams that are friendly to women with sensitive skin. Many of these are made from natural, organic ingredients, including aloe and Shea butter. Some of them are even free of fragrances for added comfort.

With all things said, here are the seven best shaving creams for women with sensitive skin:

1. EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream (Lavender)
