We're incredibly honoured to be collaborating with Alex and Frances over at Earth Ale (www.earthale.com). We're using their Spicy Weiss foraged seed beer which is a gloriously fresh summer beer, made with organic and natural ingredients including malt, barley, hops, yeast, and foraged hogweed, alexanders and coriander seed.
They say - "Each year, we forage wild ingredients from the glorious countryside and craggy coastlines of the South of England, and infuse them in a natural brewing process to create seasonal limited-batch recipes." What could be more perfect?! They're pretty funky, with their London-based brewery and bus bar Earth Tap - check them out! They have the same committment to organic, natural ingredients as we do, and we're honoured to use their beer in our specialist limited edition soap batches.
So what did we make?
We've used this incredible brew to whip up a batch of our popular "Beer Soap" - a simple unscented soap that is full of rich caramels and earthy tones, ideal for use on body and face too where the nourishing malts and hops will get to work moisturising and pampering skin of all types. It's topped with spent grains from the brewing process, directly from Earth Ale brewery inside an old chocolate factory in North London.
Available in large bars and mini bars, these limited edition bars are available now in our Etsy Shop and from Earth Ale directly.
Beer Soap is a luxury soap that lathers beautifully with a light malty scent. It makes an ideal gift for him, but can be used by the whole family! We cook the alcohol out before using it for soap-making, and reduce it down to a concentrated beer syrup to ensure that each bar is packed full of nutrients and minerals which are good for your skin.
This soap has been certified by an independent toxicologist, chemist and scientist. NOTHING ARTIFICIAL: NO preservatives, additives, fragrances, parabens, SLS.
We use the finest natural ingredients that are full of essential vitamins and minerals to help boost the skin’s natural balance.
ONLY THE GOOD STUFF: beer reduction, natural oatmeal and spent grain, vitamin-rich avocado oil, moisturising shea butter, cleansing castor oil, vitamin-rich olive oil. restorative coconut oil and Vitamin-E packed responsibly-sourced palm oil.
This fragrance-free soap is smooth and clean, and is ideal for delicate skin. It is topped with a light sprinkling of exfoliating oats. Because each bar is made entirely by hand, soap colour and shape vary slightly from bar to bar. They are completely natural: traditionally made, rough cut, cured for six weeks or more, and hand packaged in brown paper to order.
Each large bar weighs a minimum of 110g.
WINNER: REAL ECO AWARDS 2019: Judge’s verdict: “The soap smelled really nice but not overpowering – very natural and uplifting. I liked that it doesn’t turn into mush in the shower and keeps its shape. It left my skin feeling clean but not dry. The packaging was good too – simple and small.” Juliet
