DIY Shaving Cream Recipe Using Non-Toxic Chemicals

Blog· Entertainment

About a year ago, I started noticing an abundance of articles online about becoming “toxic-free” to “eliminate chemicals” from my home. This was completely foreign to me because I just bought what ever I wanted and never thought twice about how it was impacting my or my family’s life. After digging around and doing more research, I made the decision to start making more conscience decisions about what I was buying and how it was impacting my health.

I am not completely toxic and chemical free and I love a bunch of food that I probably shouldn’t be putting into my body but I have slowly started changing my lifestyle to a more healthy one. Making my own products has quickly become one of my favorite things to do. One thing that I’ve been wanting to make was homemade shaving cream and I loved the way it turned out so I had to share the recipe!
DIY Shaving Cream Using Non Toxic Ingredients

DIY Shaving Cream Recipe Using Non-Toxic Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup castile soap
  • 1/4 cup cocoa butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup sweet almond oil
  • 5 drops essential oils of choice (I chose lavender – you can add more or less depending on how strong you want your shaving cream to smell)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 3/4 cups warm water
  • 16 oz foam container

Directions:

Take a sauce pan and fill half with water. In that sauce pan, put a glass measuring up with the cocoa butter inside (you’re making a double broiler). Once the cocoa butter starts melting add the soap, honey and sweet almond oil. Add the essential oils after you take the ingredients off of the stove. Pour your mixture into the foam container and add water to fill. Now shake, shake, shake til all ingredients are well combined. Give your container a pump and you should have homemade shaving cream! Your skin will thank you later.

If you don’t have those ingredients handy, they are all very accessible through Amazon. DIY Shaving CreamEven though I like to make many of my own products, there are a few that I don’t skimp out on – razors are one of them. I started buying my husband Schick® Hydro for a couple reasons. He has to shave often since his facial hair grows so fast. Since he is shaving multiple times a week, we have been on the hunt for a great razor that can keep up with the demands of his needs.  Schick® Hydro Razor

We found that the  Schick® Hydro was best because it’s a dermatologist-tested razor system that handles great with sensitive skin, and it has an exclusive technology that hydrates throughout each shave.  The Schick Hydro® 5 Sensitive Razor features five Ultra Glide® blades and patented skin guards that help protect sensitive skin.

    What a great idea. And of course non-toxic is the only way to go! I may make this for my hubby who uses a manual shaver.

    That’s so neat! It really does look like real shaving cream. I’ll have to try this sometime.

    What a creative natural alternative to regular, chemical-filled shaving cream. It looks like this would work just as well as the “real thing!”

    Non-toxic shaving cream is very good for men and women also. From now I want to use this shaving cream always. Thanks for this issue.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
