In my house, we try to use as many natural household products as possible and that includes cleaning products, soap, deodorant, etc. Buying all of that natural stuff at the store can be costly, but it’s really pretty easy to make most of it at home. Which is why I’m sharing this DIY shaving cream recipe.

My boyfriend had been using a very chemically laden store-bought one, so I told him I would make him some. He wanted it to be just like the ones out of the cans that are nice and fluffy, so I’m glad I was able to “whip” this one up… pun intended!

This will last quite a while in the fridge, I think I’ve had mine last in the fridge for at least 3 weeks, probably more. What my boyfriend does is he keeps a few days worth in a jar in the bathroom for easy access and refills it from the stash in the fridge when it runs out.

Servings: 1 cup
Author: Hannah Healy
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup liquid castile soap
  • 2 tbsp cocoa butter or shea butter
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 drops tea tree oil
Instructions
  1. Slightly heat the coconut oil and cocoa butter together in a double boiler so they melt, then put them in a bowl.
  2. Add the castile soap, baking soda and tea tree oil to the bowl. Then use a hand mixer to whip the ingredients. This will create a nice fluffy foamy shaving cream. You can also use a hand blender, but it may not be as fluffy, but it will still work.

Recipe Notes

It will last a few days unrefrigerated, but it's best to keep it in the fridge. It will harden in the fridge, so make sure you thaw it before using again. After it has been in the fridge it may not be as fluffy as it was to begin with, but it still works as is, and you can always beat it with the hand mixer again.
