Sensitive skin is something both men and women deal with – especially in areas of the body we shave regularly. Nobody likes to deal with the red bumps and irritation that can come along with a bad shave.
Fortunately, you can give your skin a treat and help keep it looking and feeling good after shaving with a good DIY Shaving Cream. This soothing chamomile DIY shaving cream uses one of my favorite essential oils – Roman Chamomile oil.
This amazing gift from the earth has a calming effect on the skin, mind and body. So while you’re taking care of your skin, you can also have an aromatic treat for your mind and body too.
If you regularly make your own beauty products, then you probably have all of the ingredients on hand already.

Amazing sharing cream recipe! How long can you store it and use it? Thanks!
Since there aren’t any water-based ingredients in this shaving cream recipe, it should last for at least a few months. However, if water or moisture gets in the jar, or contaminated hands touch it, then that will accelerate the expiration.
I don’t know if you know about this so here goes…..LOL. An easy fix for melting coconut oil is to use 92-degree coconut oil. Soapers use this product in anything that requires coconut oil that might melt in the summer months or a hot environment. Also, add a few drops of Vitamin E or an oil-based preservative of your choice, and I don’t see why this would need to be refrigerated or go rancid for a few months while sitting in the shower. I don’t use coconut oil because it dries out the skin. I use rice bran or sweet almond oil. But, each to her own is the joy of being a maker! I’m still experimenting with my recipe! Oh, what am I saying, I’m never done with a recipe. LOL. I hope this helps ya. I love your blog!!
