When you make soap, it is a combination of oils, lye and a liquid. We have played around with milk, tea and of course water, but beer? Well, why not. Beer actually provides some amazing health benefits on top of all the other good stuff you get from using homemade bar soap.
- Hops, an ingredient in beer, contains skin softening amino acids which can sooth irritated and inflamed skin.
- The yeast in beer adds an antibacterial agent, great for acne.
- Beer also contains vitamin B and other essential vitamins that further moisturize and protect the skin.
- You can use beer soap in place of shampoo. The B vitamins repair and restore the look of your hair.
- The frothy lather of beer soap will give an extra close shave while moisturizing.
Simply put, beer soap is awesome and here to stay. Try some of our homemade beer soap, using many STL local brews. If you are a local brew, contact us about getting your beer in our soaps too.
