The latest soap off my curing rack is one that is packed with goodness! Instead of water, I substituted it with beer. As beer has all kinds of nutrients from the hops and barley malt.

The top layer has activated charcoal, which has the powerful ability to trap inorganic matter and pollutants.  It’s able to absorb thousands of times its own weight in pore-clogging impurities.  So it helps give your skin a nice deep cleansing ability.

The second layer has less charcoal and more of spirulina and rice extract.  Spirulina is an algae that also help detoxifies and is rich in antioxidant agents.  It brings many vitamins and trace elements to benefit the skin.

This bar is scented with sweet and fruity lychee (the popular Asian fruit).  I also added an uplifting scent of tangerine fragrance oil and grapefruit essential oil.  It’s a good way to brighten your day.

The pinkish fruits are the lychee.  Fresh ones are only available a short time each year.  But you can enjoy the lovely scent anytime with this bar of soap!

This soap is also “superfatted” - which in the soap making world it means there are extra skin loving oils in the recipe.  Rice bran oil was the special oil since it’s loaded with Vitamin E and has skin nourishing benefits.

Ingredients:  Sapponified oils of Coconut, Olive, Palm , and Soybean.  Beer, Rice Bran oil, Extracts of rice and Spirulina. Charcoal, grapefruit essential oil, tangerine and lychee fragrance oil.
