About Cremo

Cremo makes shave creams, beard care and body wash for men, founded in 2005 around a concentrated shaving cream sold on requiring far less product per shave. Edgewell acquired it in 2020 for $235 million. The purchase gave Edgewell a grooming brand to sell alongside its Schick razors, a pairing its competitors already had.
