Beer Soap
Solid Soap · NaOH · 44 g oil load · 5% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
Recipe from Alicia Arroyo. Let beer go flat overnight. Mix beer and water together, measure out for totals and freeze into cubes. Add lye to frozen cubes; Blend and mix oils; Add lye and oils together and stick blend to trace; Add F.O.; Split the batter into colors (disperse mica into 1 tblsp. olive oil). She used red jojoba beads to color part of the batter red. Layer batters in mold (can do a mica/jojoba bead line) and repeat till batter is empty. Swirl top layer. NOTE: citrusy scents accelerate batter. Tap mold and spray with alchohol. Wait 24-48 hours to unmold; cut. Cure 4-6 weeks.
