Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons almond oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 1 tablespoon cucumber juice
- 3 tablespoons witch hazel
- 3 drops Carrot oil

Method
- Make the cucumber juice using a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, place half a peeled cucumber into a blender and mix well. Pour this into a jug through a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Set aside.
- Melt the cocoa butter in a glass pyrex jug placed into a small pan of simmering water.
- Once the cocoa butter has melted, remove from the heat and mix in the almond and avocado oils and the witch hazel.
- Stir this mixture well then add the cucumber juice, carrot and lavender oils and mix well again.
- Pour this mixture into a sterilized glass jar.
- Cover tightly and label the product, including the date.
- Shake the jar well before each use then stir with fingertips applying it to the skin ready for shaving.
- Please note, as this recipe contains fresh cucumber it will need to be stored in the refrigerator and should be kept no longer than 2 weeks.
