Natural Shaving Cream Recipe

Looking to add more natural, ‘green’ products to your beauty routine and want a silky,

smooth shave that’s chemical-free? Or maybe you get itchy, irritated legs and underarms after using store-bought shaving creams or gels? Your skin is the largest organ in your body, so using skincare products that are healthy, safe, chemical and preservative-free is a great place to start incorporating more healthy, earth-friendly products into your beauty routine. Here is a simple recipe for a rich, moisturising shaving cream that’s fluffy as a cloud, easy to whip up, saves money and will keep your skin happy, healthy, super-smooth and razor bump & itch-free!

Natural Shaving Cream

2/3 cup Shea butter or Shea nut oil

2/3 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup grape seed, almond or olive oil

10-20 drops of lavender, eucalyptus, chamomile, 
lemon or other essential oil. Use your favorite!

2 tablespoons baking soda

optional: contents of 2 vitamin E capsules

How to make:

On low heat, melt the coconut oil and shea butter or oil together, then turn off the heat and

mix in the grapeseed, almond or olive oil.

When ingredients are all melted and mixed, add in 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil.

Put the mixture into the fridge to harden. Once it has solidified, remove it and let it soften a little.

Add the contents of 2 vitamin E capsules, and the baking soda to the mixture, and using an electric hand mixer, beat until it’s super fluffy and light. When it looks good enough to spread on a cupcake, you’re there.

Put it into a nice jar or container, and you’re done! Apply generously to your shaving area, and rinse afterward. Store it in a cool dark area when you’re not using it, and it can keep for up to a month.
