Easy Homemade Shaving Butter
Skip the conventional options and make your own DIY Shaving Butter! With only four ingredients, this homemade shaving butter is simple, effective, and all-natural.
Servings: 1 small jar
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil measured solid
- 1 tbs aloe gel
- 3 drops tea tree essential oil
- 3 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
- In a heat-safe jar, melt the shea butter and coconut oil on the stove over a rolling boil.
- Remove from the stove and stir in the aloe gel. Let cool just a minute or two and add in the essential oils.
- Pour into a jar, let it sit to cool fully and then place it into the fridge to firm up.
- Once firm, remove from the fridge and leave at room temperature to use.
- Makes one small jar.
- Note: because there is a liquid in this shaving butter recipe, it is best stored in the fridge, so it does not go rancid.
Notes
Because there is a gel in the shaving butter it will not last as long as one without. Be sure not get excessive water into the jar and to use up the recipe within a couple of weeks.
