DIY Shaving Cream
I am sure you will love this DIY shaving cream recipe, just as much as the guys in my family do. It is budget-friendly, fantastic for sensitive skin without any harmful chemicals, and delivers a very smooth shave.
Servings 10 oz
Cost $5
Ingredients
- 2 ½ oz shea butter, at room temperature
- 2 ½ oz coconut oil
- 3 TBSP castile soap, unscented
- 3 TBSP jojoba oil
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a small glass bowl or the top part of double boiler.
- Over low heat and in a small saucepan or the bottom of double boiler, bring some water to a boil.
- Set the bowl with the ingredients over the boiling water and let the butters melt. Stir occasionally.
- Transfer bowl to the refrigerator until this mixture has become a bit more solid.
- Remove from the refrigerator. Either with a hand blender or in a stand mixer, whip this mixture for 3 minutes. It should be fluffy and lighter in color.
- Fill it into a glass jar or another pretty jar. I recommend you write “shaving cream” and the date on a product label and attach it to the jar.
Notes
- keep your homemade shaving cream in an airtight container in a cool and dry spot
- use a clean spatula or spoon to scoop out the shaving cream
- a little bit goes a long way
- you can add all your favorite essential oils if you like
