Celebrating National Mens Grooming Day

What is National Men’s Grooming Day all about?

On Friday 15th August 2025, men around the world will mark National Men’s Grooming Day, an annual occasion dedicated to making grooming a simple, confident and every part of life. It was first introduced in 2007 by American Crew, the day was designed to encourage men to “upgrade their grooming game” and to start seeing it less as vanity and more as a form of self-care and respect.

Over the years, men’s grooming routines have become more intensive, evolving from a shower, shave and deodorant to a more detailed routine including facial cleansers, moisturisers and hair and beard oils.I’t grown into a global conversation that blends personal wellness, professional presence and modern masculinity.

Scott Bader perspective and approach

We at Scott Bader Personal Care believe that the future of men’s grooming must strike the perfect balance between conscious innovation, performance and responsibility. Our products have been developed in such way so they are equally effective, easy to use and made with integrity. Hence why our portfolio offers bio-based silicone alternatives to guarantee performance without compromise on aspects like sensory appeal, efficacy and multi-functionality.
