Diego’s shaving soap recipe
Comments Off
Make this luscious shaving soap for the man in your life. From Aromatics & More.
Diego’s Shaving Soap with Patchouli and Orange
Our wonderful Pre-Milled Soap base consists of Saponified oils of Coconut and Palm and NOTHING ELSE.
This is a very creamy soap that has a nice slip. It leaves the skin feeling very smooth and moisturized with no dry tight feeling. We use100% naturally based ingredients with no strong odour. This is not a formula that is sudsy or foams but it is an excellent cleanser that mixes with dirt and oils to leave a very clean surface.
Formula for 500 grams (approximately 3 cups)

Instructions
- Place your distilled water in a pot and bring the water to a boil.
- Turn the burner off and add Conditioning Emulsifier, Lactic acid, Naturaguard™, glycerin and Jojoba oil.
- Stir ingredients.
- Measure out your Vegetable soap flakes into a mixing bowl. ( I used a stick blender with a bowl attachment. You can use a hand mixer if you like. Be careful it does not splash while mixing.
- Pour the got mixture over the soap flakes and blend till creamy (much like a pudding or frosting).
- Add your fragrance oils and blend in well.
- Put your soap into wide mouth containers and let it cool completely.
- Cap and store till ready to use.
How to use
- Wet skin and apply a small amount of cream. Massage in with the water and shave. You may add more water if needed as you go along.
- Rinse the soap off well.
- It would not be unusual to feel a tingling due to the amount of lactic acid in the formula. If you are not interested in skin rejuvenation you may use just 3% instead of 5%.
