Beer powder is another fun and beneficial additive for soap making! Here’s why it’s a great choice:
Benefits of Beer Powder in Soap:
- Rich, Creamy Lather: The natural sugars in beer help boost lather, giving your soap a creamy, bubbly feel that’s super satisfying to use.
- Skin-Loving Nutrients: Beer (and beer powder) contains vitamins like B-complex and minerals like selenium, potassium, and magnesium, all of which can be nourishing for the skin.
- Antioxidant Boost: Hops in beer contain antioxidants that may help soothe the skin and protect it from environmental stressors.
- Subtle, Earthy Aroma: Beer powder has a mild, earthy scent that can enhance the natural smell of your soap or pair nicely with essential oils like cedarwood, patchouli, or citrus.
- Mild Exfoliation: If the powder isn’t super fine, it can add a slight exfoliating texture, depending on how much you use.
How to Use Beer Powder in Soap:
- Cold Process: Mix it with a bit of your oils or glycerin before adding it at trace to avoid clumping.
- Melt & Pour: Dissolve it in a small amount of warm distilled water or glycerin and stir into the melted base.
- Usage Rate: Start with about 1–3% of your total oil weight and adjust based on your desired effect.
