Beer soap is popular and renowned for its frothy lather and reputed benefits for the skin. It is made with beer in place of water. I personally don’t like to drink beer, but I use it in a couple of food recipes and heard good things about its use as an ingredient in soap. So this is my first beer soap! I made it with my usual shea butter recipe and it does seem to have a more frothy lather. The carbonation and alcohol in the beer is removed by boiling before the lye is added to it. This gives a well behaved soap that can be poured into beautiful swirls. In this video, soap weaving is used to pour lines into a soap mold in a way that resembles foliage splays. Then, the soap is planed to provide veneers. These veneers are cut into strips and woven just like a basket to make a beautiful “container” for the foliage.Ingredients: Saponified Organic Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Olive oil, Beer, Jojoba Oil and Coffee Essential Oils, soap colorants and real silk.See how this soap was made:
