Here are the materials you'll need:

  • Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
  • Coconut oil (soft, but not liquid)
  • Liquid castile soap
  • Cocoa butter or shea butter
  • Tea tree oil (alternatively, lavender oil can be used as an alternative)

Step 1: Gently heat 1/4 cup of coconut oil and 2 teaspoons of cocoa butter until melted. Transfer them to a bowl.

Step 2: Add 1/4 cup of castile soap, 2 teaspoons of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, and 2 drops of tea tree oil to the bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the ingredients together. This will create a fluffy, foamy shaving cream. Your shaving cream is now ready to use!

It is best to store the shaving cream in the refrigerator. Over time, the texture may become less fluffy, but it will still be effective. If desired, you can re-whip the shaving cream using a hand mixer.
