DIY Whipped Shaving Cream!

DIY Whipped Shaving Cream!

For the guys out there looking for some DIYS to try, here’s a recipe to create a homemade shaving cream which is great because you know what ingredients are going in it and you can customize the scent to your liking!

What You Need:
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil (4 oz)
  • 1/2 cup shea butter (4 oz)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Double Boiler
  • 20 drops of your favorite fragrance oil. We recommend: Amberwood Moss, Coconut Sandalwood or Warm Rustic Woods! (How many drops you want to use will depend on how strongly you want the shaving cream to smell. I would start with 20 and go from there)
Instructions:
  1. In a double boiler,* add in the coconut oil and shea butter – break the shea butter up into smaller pieces before adding it so that it melts faster.
  2. Once everything is melted, transfer to a large bowl and stir in the olive oil.
  3. Place in the fridge and leave there until everything has solidified – it doesn’t have to be hard, just no longer liquid-y – kind of like softened butter.
  4. Once it has solidified, transfer to the stand mixer bowl (or use a hand mixer and leave it in the same bowl) and whip for about three minutes, or until stiff peaks form.
  5. As you are whipping the shaving cream, add the fragrance oils. You can stop this process periodically and rub a little bit of the cream on your skin to test the scent level and decide whether or not to add more fragrance oil.
  6. Transfer to an airtight jar and store in your bathroom! Enjoy the best shaving experience ever!
**To assemble a double boiler, fill a medium pot with a few inches of water. Place on the stove over high heat and place a glass bowl on top of the pot. The bottom of the glass bowl should not be touching the top of the water – if it is, then your water level is too high and you need to pour some out. Bring the water to a simmer, and it will gently melt your ingredients that are in the glass bowl.* This recipe makes about 2 cups.
