Vegan Shave Butter

1 tbsp cocoa butter
1/2 tbsp unrefined coconut oil
1/2 tbsp sweet almond oil
1 tbsp Dessert Essence fragrance free body wash

Place cocoa butter and coconut oil in a pyrex measuring cup. Over medium heat, place pyrex in a steamer and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in sweet almond oil. Place in freezer for 20 minutes to set. Once mixture is frozen on the edges and still liquid in the middle, whip mixture together with a spoon. Mix in body wash until well incorporated. Transfer mixture to a 2 ounce plastic bottle with a disc cap for easy dispensing. Makes 1 travel/trial size bottle of shave butter.

To use, on damp skin distribute a small amount of product for each section to be shaved, cleaning razor between sections. No sticky feeling from shaving with body butter alone and no stinging feeling from shaving with body wash alone. Body butter can be heavy and too moisturizing but body wash keeps body butter from sticking to skin while body butter easily glides over skin and keeps skin from drying out.
