Foaming Shaving Cream Recipe

With concerns of chemicals in personal care products, such as shaving cream, it’s nice to know there is a completely natural solution. This recipe is perfect for those seeking to eliminate harmful chemicals in their home and have a more natural lifestyle.

The essential oil you choose for your foaming shaving cream will depend on if it’s for ‘her’ or ‘him’ and the aromatherapy benefits you would like to see. Remember, the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils will provide benefits going far beyond just a lovely scent, see ‘olfactory‘ to get an idea of how far-reaching scents can go.

You will need:

• 1 bottle Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base
• Choice of Young Living Essential Oil(s), see choices below
• Water
• Foaming Pump Bottle(s), see link below

5 Steps to Make Your Own All-natural Foaming Shaving Cream

1. In the foaming pump bottle fill the bottle almost 50% way full with water.
2. Then, fill the bottle with the Bath & Shower Gel Base to about 1 inch from the top.
3. Add up to 10 drops of your chosen Young Living essential oil to the foaming pump bottle.
4. Stir well with a chop stick or metal skewer until well blended. You might like to add slightly more water than base because it makes the foam lighter – but use the proportions that you enjoy best.
5. Screw the pump back onto the bottle, label the bottle with the name of the essential oil and that it’s “Shaving Cream” – get festive with the label and add a ribbon if it is to be a gift.

That’s it! Isn’t this simple?
