Dona shave gel is a System Jo product and is available in many scents: Acai, Blue lotus, Mangosteen, Camu camu, Pomegranate, and Goji berry. I ordered pomegranate. This is my first try with any Dona products and the first time wasn't that great, but I sucked it up and tried again. This shave gel can be used on any part of the body. After my second use, I applied some lotion and baby powder, and didn't have a problem with shave bumps or rashes, and I always use a sharp razor.

Sodium Cocoamphoacetate- Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Sodium Cocoamphopropionate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate and Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate cleans the skin and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that these substances can be rinsed away. They also increase foaming capacity or stabilize foams. These ingredients enhance the appearance and feel of hair, by increasing hair body, suppleness, or sheen, or by improving the texture of hair that has been damaged physically or by chemical treatment.

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine- It has uses as a foam booster, viscosity builder, and an antistatic agent (which is great if you use it in your hair to tone down fly aways). Patch tests with human subjects to cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine had a positive allergic reaction. Source- Wikipedia
Zea Mays(corn) Propanediol- Propanediol helps form the base for our deodorants. Sodium stearate is the ingredient that causes these products to “gel” or take on a form that is more viscous or solid. Once suspended in a gel, the other ingredients in these products can be properly applied in the manner consumers expect. Risk-Propanediol is considered a safe and appropriate ingredient not just for cosmetic products, but also for ingested products like food.
