Lavender Coconut Aloe Vera Shave Gel

Besides the fact that it gives you a great, smooth shave, it leaves your legs silky, moisturized and conditioned.  Even in the driest winter conditions you probably won’t even need a lotion when you get out of the water.  Another bonus? No weird chemicals on  your body. Finally, you can use essential oils to create any combination you want.. I love lavender which is also known for its skin healing  and soothing properties. Lemongrass, lime, and almond also pair well with coconut. So let’s get started making this homemade shave gel using lavender, coconut oil, and aloe vera!

Ingreients

• 3/4 cup Aloe Vera gel
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 vitamin E capsule
• 10-15 drops essential oil

Directions:

• Heat coconut oil for 15 seconds at a time until almost melted- this usually only takes about 3o seconds total in my microwave.
• Combine aloe vera and coconut oil, stir well until combined.
• Place in an airtight container.  I like to  use plastic since the contents are slippery and it s kept in the wet shower just in case it gets dropped I don’t have to worry about glass. I found this plastic pump bottle at Hobby Lobby for $1.50 and it works perfectly and  just holds the amount the recipe above makes. You can also use this inexpensive pump dispenser.
