ABOUT MARIE VERONIQUE
Marie-Veronique Nadeau is a chemist who founded Marie Veronique in 2002. An inventor at heart who suffered from teenage acne, she was moved to create her own products when she could find nothing on the market that was clean and effective to address her rosacea. From there, she went on to develop a line for acne and was one of the first to formulate a non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen. She continues to lead the way towards safe yet effective skincare, determined to move an industry ensconced in hype into the realm of science. She is a trained esthetician, holds degrees in Math and Science, and is a former high school chemistry teacher. She collaborates with her daughter, Jay Nadeau, physicist and bio-medical engineer, to carefully choose each ingredient in her products to solve real skin issues and address the causes of aging at the source.
Our vision at Marie Veronique is to deliver superior, non-toxic skincare drawing on nature’s genius and the brain of science through innovative formulations. Achieving optimal skin health and healing real skin issues drive us to produce safe products that truly work.

A gentle lather smooths + softens hair follicles with BLACK WILLOW BARK.
This foaming shaving oil coats the skin with a light lather high in essential fatty acids to create a smooth shaving surface. Willow bark extract contains salicylic acid which penetrates deep into the hair follicle to soften hair, which allows the razor to glide easily across the skin. A slick glide reduces the risk of irritation, razor bumps or ingrown hairs, and diminishes the appearance of folliculitis (aka razor rash), a common side effect of shaving that results in small red bumps around hair follicles.
Creates a smooth surface for an effective shave
Reduces risk of razor bumps, folliculitis and irritation caused by shaving
Leaves skin soft, smooth and clear
WILLOW BARK A beta hydroxy acid that decongests pores by dissolving compacted sebum and other debris in cells.
SUNFLOWER SEED OIL Crucial to proper barrier function, this polyunsaturated fat is high in omega 6 essential fatty acids which thin sebum and ensure a smooth application to the skin’s surface.
DECYL GLUCOSIDE A gentle non-ionic surfactant that creates suds without sulfates. Non-irritating to even sensitive skin types.

Helps prevent acne from shaving
I am relatively new to Marie Veronique, but have so far been overjoyed with the results from the Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion (first retinol *ever* to not give me any irritation!) and my skin is responding well so far to the C-Therapy Serum, the Barrier Restore serum, and the B3 Soothing Serum. I was excited for this shaving oil because I have fairly sensitive skin (I can only shave once a week-ish) and am always looking for something to soothe and make the experience a calmer one. Unfortunately, this oil is wreaking havoc on my skin and potentially undoing some of the benefits of the abovementioned products. First, I need to use many times more than the instructions say to get a decent foam going against a pretty scant beard (if I don't, my blade immediately nicks my skin) and the three times I've used it have resulted in small breakouts on my cheeks and upper lip, and general irritation at the neck. My skin is also rather dry and tense at the end of the shave (the opposite of how my skin feels when I apply my other MV products). The ingredients are wonderful, as they are with all MV products, so I'm not really sure why this is causing such issues. Fortunately it isn't as expensive as the other MV products, but $35+ is still an investment in a teeny bottle of shaving oil. This in no way discourages me from continued use of other MV products, but this was a disappointment.
Very little goes a long way !
