Method

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine ⅓ cup shea butter and ⅓ cup coconut oil. Stir until melted. Transfer mixture to heat-safe bowl. Add ¼ cup sweet almond oil, 10 drops lavender essential oil, and 5 drops peppermint essential oil. Stir to combine.

Chill mixture in refrigerator until solid. Using a hand mixer, beat until creamy. Transfer to container. Store in a cool, dry place. Shave cream should keep for one month. *Always test in a small area, as your skin may be sensitive to essential oils. Since the recipe contains no soap, it will not lather, but will melt on your skin as you apply.
