We started creating beer soap as an appreciation of the fantastic qualities that real ale holds. Beer isn't just for drinking!
Beer contains hops, which are well known for their relaxing and skin conditioning properties. Hops also provide many other excellent skin benefits including soothing irritated skin and the polyphenols account for its anti-bacterial and preservative effects.
We use different beers for each soap, straight from the barrel to the bar. Dependent upon the beer that we use, the amounts and types of hops, malts, and fruits used when brewing the beer, the colour will differ and this creates a rainbow of natural shades of soap. The beer produces the creamiest lather and creates a small rich bubble which feels luxurious on the skin. All these properties are naturally found in beer! The alcohol from the beer does not remain in the soap after the soap making
process and the ‘beery’ scent is removed during curing leaving behind all the natural skin conditioning properties.
Our soaps are made with natural oils and butters such as Pure Olive oil, Unrefined Cocoa and Shea Butter and coconut oil. All products are vegan- friendly and we never test any ingredients on animals or use animal products. We use the highest quality essential and fragrance oils, which help to bring the unique characteristics of each beer.
