Frequently Asked Questions

All of our soaps are handmade (with love) in individual batches using the Cold Process method of soap making, including saponified oils, skin safe mica or natural clay, and high quality essential or fragrance oils.  They are then allowed to cure for four weeks on drying racks to ensure you get a harder and longer lasting bar of soap. Our balms, butters, and massage candles all include our hop infused oil. We take the time to make our own infused oil using the very same hops that are used to brew the PNW beer you love. See below for specific details on the process.

What is Beer Soap?

 Whereas natural soap making uses distilled water to mix with sodium hydroxide for the process of saponification (the chemical reaction that makes soap), we use boiled down craft beer. This method rids the beer of alcohol and carbonation, while leaving all the beneficial components from the hops and yeast for skin greatness. Beer soap also has a great lather!

How Natural are Your Products?

A majority of our products are 100% natural, using only beer, saponified oils and/or butters, and essential oils. Others may have high quality fragrance oil or a skin safe colorant. All soaps are paraben free. We use palm oil from a supplier that is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an organization that supports sustainable palm oil production. For more information visit their website here.

More about Hop Oil.

We infuse the oils in our candles, balms, butters, salves, and other products with the same Pacific Northwest hops used in your favorite craft beers! Hops provide numerous skincare benefits, including reducing inflammation, enhancing skin hydration and texture, and offering antibacterial and antifungal properties. They also have a soothing effect that calms dry and irritated skin. Overall, hops are a versatile and beneficial ingredient, enhancing skin health and appearance in a variety of ways.
