Servings 1 cup
Cost $2
Equipment
- 1 Hand mixer or hand blender
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
- Slightly heat the coconut oil and cocoa butter together in a double boiler so they melt, then put them in a bowl.
- 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.
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.
