From Madisyn of the Free People blog, the DIY project is intended to give legs a smoother shave. The homemade shaving cream consists of ingredients such as organic coconut oil, [organic shea butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shea-butter-hand), liquid castile soap and the essential oil of your choice (Madisyn used lavender). While the concoction would be safe to put on a male's face, he should probably avoid using it if he has acne prone or [sensitive skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-flex-5-sensitive-razor). While the all-natural lather is moisturizing, the shea butter could cause facial skin to break out and too much essential oil could be irritating for those with fragrance sensitivities. You will also need a stand mixer or hand-held mixer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Natural Beauty Products:** The trend of using all-natural ingredients in beauty products creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the cosmetic industry. - **DIY Personal Care Products:** The trend of creating homemade personal care products presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the home goods industry. - **Organic Skincare:** The trend of using organic and natural ingredients in skincare products creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the skincare industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can explore opportunities to develop all-natural products for sensitive skin types. - **Home Goods:** The home goods industry can explore opportunities to develop DIY kits for creating personal care products at home. - **Skincare:** The skincare industry can explore opportunities to create more organic and natural products to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Decadent Shaving Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whipped-shave-cream.md) - [Antioxidant-Rich Shaving Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proraso-shaving-cream.md) - [Gentle Facial Shaving Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oilplaning.md) - [Hydrating Shaving Elixirs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caldera-lab-the-smooth.md) - [Tropically Scented Shaving Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-waters-shave-oil.md) - [Convenient Moisturizing Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisture-razor.md) - [Multi-Functional Shave Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shave-oil.md) - [Intimate Shaving Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maude.md) - [High-Quality Shaving Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-shaving-products.md)
