Soothing Oatmeal & Honey Shave Cream



Formula 

78.9% Distilled Water 

2% Oat Extract (Water soluble)


300 Gram Recipe

236.7 grams Distilled Water

15 grams Glycerin

6 grams  Oat Extract (Water soluble)

6 grams Honeyquat

3 grams Bisabolol

10.5 grams ICE Hair Restore


Directions;

  • In a sanitized container, combine all ingredients in order mixing after each one. If the ingredient is a powder, mix until dissolve. The Colloidal Oatmeal will not full dissolve. 


  • After adding in the ICE Hair Restore immediately mix with an Immersion Blender


  • Check and adjust pH and pour into desired container.

  • I poured mine into a plastic bag to pipe into my bottle. I used this 8 oz bottle 





Benefits of Each Ingredient;

Glycerin - Humectant (hydrates the skin)

Oat Extract - soothing

Honeyquat - Conditioning 

Liquid Germall Plus - Preservative 

Aloe Vera Powder 100x - soothing, hydrating

Colloidal Oatmeal - soothing 

Apricot Kernel Oil - Emollient

Bisabolol - according to lotion crafter “is a naturally occurring active ingredient that accelerates the healing process of skin and protects it from the effects of daily stress.  Known to have anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties”

ICE Hair Restore - this is the main conditioning ingredient that makes this such a wonderful sharing product. This ingredient is meant to be used as a hair conditioner, but hair conditioning ingredients are perfect for shaving products as well because they are cationic. Cationic ingredients are conditioning and have a lot of slip. The slip and conditioning benefits is what makes this also great for shaving. This is also working as the emulsifier for the water and oil. It is also thickening this product creating the creamy consistency.



Substitutes;

Oat Extract - any water soluble botanical extract of choice

Liquid Germall Plus - any water soluble broad spectrum preservative of choice. e.g. Euxyl PE 9010, Opiphen Plus, Euxyl K 903, Euxyl K 900, Preservative Eco, Geogard 221, Just make sure you are adjusting the products pH properly. 

Aloe Vera Powder 100x - aloe vera extract, aloe vera 200x, aloe vera juice/liquid(use instead of water if you use aloe juice or liquid)

Colloidal Oatmeal - leave out and use water

Apricot Kernel Oil - any light oil of choice or emollient ester.

Bisabolol - chamomile extract or you can leave out and use water intstead

ICE Hair Restore - you could use BTMS 50 instead, but you would need to separate the oil and water phase and heat both phases. So it is no longer a cold process product. You would also need to add in a fatty alcohol like Cetyl Alcohol along with the BTMS 50.
