- Method: Mixer
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 oz mango butter (can substitute shea butter, if desired)
- 2 1/2 oz coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp castile soap (I use peppermint, but any scent will work)
- 2 Tbsp jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or grapeseed oil
Instructions
- Place coconut oil and mango butter in a pot and warm over low heat until melted. You may also use a double-boiler if desired.
- Once melted, allow to cool briefly. Add the oil and soap. Stir to combine.
- If the mixture is cool enough, pour into a mixing bowl. If not, let cool until close to room temperature, before transferring to a bowl. Place in the fridge until completely cool.
- Allow to harden. This could take up to an hour.
- Once hard, remove bowl from fridge. If the mixture is too firm to beat with an electric mixer, allow to soften a little.
- Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture for at least two minutes. If the mixture is not fluffy after two minutes, whip for another minute.
- It will resemble whipped frosting.
- It’s tempting to lick the beaters!
- Cream will vary in volume depending on how long it is whipped.
- Once sufficiently whipped, transfer shaving cream to a container (a 4 to 6 ounce container should work) and close with a lid.
