Formula I comprises ethanol, salicylic acid, propylene glycol, glycerine, fragrance, at least one compound for reducing skin irritation and at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent wherein said non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent is an NSAID drug, a naturally occurring herbal compound containing an anti-inflammatory component or combinations thereof. Formula 11 comprises water, hydrolyzed oat flour, sorbitol, methylparaben, petrolatum, lanolin, cetyl alcohol, sunflower seed oil, stearic acid, propylparaben, triethanoloamine, a preservative, and at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent wherein said non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent is an NSAID drug, a naturally occurring herbal compound containing an anti-inflammatory component or combinations thereof. The formulas have sufficient viscosity to allow the after shave preparation to remain on an affected area of the skin for a sufficient period of time to optimize the skin irritation reduction and anti inflammatory effects on the affected area thus providing local relief from irritation due to PFB.
