Fluffy Shaving Butter Recipe

Jump to Recipe

If you’ve never tried making your own shaving butter before… omg you’re about to fall in love.

This shaving butter is creamy, soft, and leaves your skin feeling so smooth without that tight or dry feeling that regular shaving creams give. Honestly, It’s one of those recipes that looks complicated but is actually super easy.

I love using this on my legs because it gives such a silky finish, and since it’s made with natural oils and butters, it feels way more moisturizing than anything store-bought. Plus, you can customize the scent with any essential oil blend you want.

Shaving Butter Recipe:

This recipe makes 3–4 ounces.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons carrier oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons cocoa butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons liquid Castile soap
• 12 drops essential oils

Instructions

1. Melt the oils

In a double boiler, melt the carrier oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter together over low heat until completely liquid.

2. Let it cool

Remove from heat and place the mixture in the fridge for about 20–30 minutes, just until it starts to firm up.

3. Add the scent

Add your essential oils directly into the Castile soap and mix.

4. Whip it up

Once the butter mixture is slightly solid, add in the Castile soap and whip with a hand mixer until light, fluffy, and creamy.

5. Store

Transfer to a jar or airtight container. Keep it somewhere cool and dry.

Notes

• This shaving butter will lasts you around 3–4 months.
• If your home runs warm, keep it in the fridge to maintain the texture.
• Any carrier oil works (jojoba, almond, grapeseed, etc.).
• Use any essential oils you love!
