Most men aren’t going to trade in the regular razor and shaving cream for an epilator (ouch!), and there’s probably not a depilatory cream on the market that would recommend even if it seemed like something men would want to use.
A lot of the ingredients in your typical drugstore shaving cream have been linked to cancer (like TEA and DEA) and hormone disruptions. You don’t have to give up the razor as your hair removal method of choice, but do choose safer natural ingredients.
You could make your own shaving cream. For example:
4 Tbsp unrefined, raw shea butter
4 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil
3 Tbsp sweet almond oil or olive oil
6-7 drops of the essential oils of your choice (totally optional, but they smell great, and you could use a citrus or peppermint scent to help wake you up in the morning)
Melt the shea butter and coconut oil at a low temperature in a double-boiler, then add the sweet almond or olive oil and stir it up.
Pour it into a large bowl and let it firm up in the refrigerator. Then use a mixer to whip it up into a consistency more like that of a shaving cream. Store it in an airtight container.
