Ingredients
- 85 ml (1/3 cup) or 70 g of oat butter or hemp (You can replace these local butters with 60 ml (1/4 cup) of shea butter.)
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) or 60 g of Castile soap
- 13 drops of essential oils of your choice ( organic true lavender, for example) (optional)
- 6 drops of vitamin E (optional)
- pump bottle or 100 ml amber glass jar
So you've shaved, but what next? We have a ready-to-use aftershave lotion right here:
Preparation steps
1. In a bowl, lightly mash the chosen butter into the Castile soap with a fork.
2. Using a hand mixer, mix well until you get a creamy, fluid, uniform mixture (it will thicken a bit over the next 24 hours, and that's normal).
3. Add, if desired, the essential oils and vitamin E. Mix well.
4. Pour into a pump bottle or jar and close.
How to use it
Apply the soap to damp skin and shave as usual, then rinse!
Enjoy the absence of a metal can, aggressive advertising and irritating smell.
