Luxury Shave Croaps for her

Shave croaps are a wonderful alternative to shave creams or gels. 

Think a lotion that lathers a bit that you shave with that encourages the hair to stand up just a bit.  This is accomplished by adding kaolin clay to the mix.

Directions: Place a small amount in the palm of your hand and add just a bit of water to it.  Bring to a lather in your hand. Rub across the area (legs, underarms,ect) you are going to shave.  Once the area is covered shave as usual and rinse off, enjoy!  

Ingredients: aloe vera juice, water, coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, kaolin clay, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, castor oil, stearic acid, vegetable glycerin, fragrance oil, mica powder, sugar, silk protein, Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (and) Propylene Glycol (preservative)

This product does contain water and aloe juice which means I need to include a preservative (Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (and) Propylene Glycol).

So why did I pick the ingredients I did?

First off I created a whipped soap paste using: water, coconut oil, palm oil, stearic acid, and olive oil plus the lye, sugar, and silk protein.  This helps create the lather.Coconut oil, castor oil, palm oil, and sugar are specifically used for lather. Olive oil offers some hydration qualities.  The lye is consumed during the soaping process and the water is used in this paste that is the base.  The silk gives a silky feel to the product.

Aloe vera juice and vegetable glycerin are used for their wonderful moisturizing and hydrating properties.  Kaolin clay is an exfolient.  Stearic acid adds additional structure and moisture.  

Just a shave croap does not have any fragrance or mica powder used.
