What's in this DIY Shaving Cream recipe?
Castille Soap
- biodegradable and nontoxic olive oil liquid soap often used as a base in natural soap formulations such as this shaving cream
Vegetable Glycerine
- clear colorless and odorless. Glycerine aids in retaining skin's moisture.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
- this mostly medium-chain triglyceride coconut oil is highly saturated, has antioxidative effects, and remains liquid at even cooler room temperatures. It is very stable and not prone to rancidity as many oils are, thus this nourishing oil has a very long shelf life. It is my go to choice for most homemade beauty products these days.
Lavender Essential Oil
- Besides the lovely soothing scent, it is also purported to have antiseptic and antifungal properties and has a general healing effect on the skin.
While this lavender scented DIY shaving cream recipe was created with women in mind, men can certainly use it as well. I'll be sharing a version better suited for the guys pretty soon though.
