Making Beer Soap
I've been wanting to make beer soap for awhile now.
I was a bit hesitant because I didn't want to
go to all the work of boiling the beer, then freezing
it before I could use it.
Well, thanks to Cathy on 'Soaping 101' I found
out I can skip one step with another for less hassle
and then freeze the beer.
So...what is that step?
Eliminating the boiling! Just pour it in a container, and let
the beer go flat on it's own!
If you boil the beer you not only will flatten it,
but you'll also take out a lot of the good stuff for your skin out of it!
And you will never be able to boil all the alcohol out of it anyway.
I call this bar: Vanilla Sudz
the beer I used
Before I go any further I have a disclaimer here:
I am a born again Christian and I do not
drink Alcohol of any kind. But as you can see
I do use it in my soaps! >smiles<
For the oils I used:
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Shea Butter
Grapeseed Oil
and Sunflower Oil
along with the beer I used Coconut oil,
and Almond oil.
I froze all the liquid before I added the
Sodium Hydroxide.
I also added some Kaolin Clay for 'slip'.
The fragrance oil I used was a combo of
French Vanilla & Sandalwood.
Titanium Dioxide was added to color some of the soap
for contrast.
Here is my video.
Thanks for stopping by!
Life is good!
