Do we have to buy conventional shaving foam to get good results when we shave?
Absolutely not! It's often uneconomical and contains a lot of synthetic additives, surfactants, pH-adjusting chemicals, and PEG compounds that can be contaminated with potentially toxic impurities like 1,4-dioxane.
Instead, you can shave with an organic, completely natural liquid soap or an organic bar soap. Simple, right?
For those of you who have dry skin and want something moisturizing, we're sharing a simple recipe today for a shaving cream you can make at home.
It becomes a moisturizing cream with creamy lather that works really well.
The wonderful thing about making your own shaving cream is that you know for sure it's 100% organic and natural!
DIY Recipe: Natural Shaving Cream
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp organic, cold-pressed almond oil or jojoba oil
– 0.5 dl shea butter
– 0.5 dl coconut oil
– 2 tbsp liquid Castille soap
– 5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
How to make it:
1.Gently melt the shea butter and coconut oil together over low heat in a saucepan.
2.Add the oil of your choice and mix well, then remove the saucepan from heat.
3.Pour into a bowl that's large enough for you to whisk in the next step.Place the bowl in the refrigerator until it hardens.
4.Remove from the refrigerator and whisk the cream with a hand mixer until the cream becomes fluffy, this takes about 3 minutes.
5.Now add the liquid soap and continue whisking until everything is well mixed.
6. Transfer the cream directly with a spoon to a clean glass jar that seals tightly.
Tips
If you want to add your own scent to the cream, you can add one or two essential oils - add them before placing the cream in the refrigerator.
This cream lasts quite a long time, but if water gets into it, it can spoil quickly. So always take the cream out of the jar with clean, dry hands or preferably with a wooden spoon. Store the cream in a cool, dry place, such as in a pantry or cool bathroom cabinet.
