Making Island Haze: cold process beer soap 🍻

Join me as I tackle our first cold process beer soap 🥰 Things are slow (sales wise) so we figured we’d support a local business and use their product in one of our soaps. Note to future self: beer accelerates soap batter hahaha
Let us know in the comments if you’ve done a beer soap 😊 #coldprocesssoap #beer #beer #handmade

Amazing!!!

As the oils and lye solution mix together the chemical change starts to thicken the ‘batter’. You’ll often hear soap makers refer to ‘trace’ which is when you dribble the batter over itself and it leaves a trail. Some additives can speed this up e.g. fragrances, clays, alcohol, micas, etc. By far the most fast moving additive I’ve used is pine tar!!! It accelerates so much you can actually get away with just using a whisk instead of a stick blender 😁
