Benefit of beer soap

[elitenaildesign]

Getting ready to make my soap for my nail clients and thought a beer soap sounding intriguing for the guys that work at my salon. Just wondered if there was a benefit to using beer or if it was just for label factor. What kind of scents or EO's work with beer?

I really liked the beer soap that I have made. Have various types of beer that I'm wanting to try as well. The sugars in the beer help make a nice bubbly bar. And, it feels nice on the skin as well.

Brambleberry has some beer type scents that smell very nice. I just got them and haven't had a chance to try them in soap yet. The are Honey Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Pumpkin Lager and Raspberry Porter. I have used a Ceder blend, a Lime blend and a Mint blend in the beer soaps that I have made. The beer smell doesn't really come through. Although, I have not tried a dark stout yet so not sure about that. I think you could use just about any fragrance you want. I've been grabbing beers that have certain ingredients, like orange, strawberry or cherry and matching it with a fragrance that I have.

I really like beer soaps and will continue to make them. And, they do appeal to the men.

I have made beer soaps with Brambleberry's Pumpkin Lager and their Oatmeal Stout. They are both very nice. Men love them. Used Lage and Stout beer respectively.

I made my beer soap to use as shampoo. I like it!
