Today I made beer soap again, however, this time I used a Irish ale called Smithwick's. I thought the decription on the beer was very interesting and since it was Irish, I bought it.
Listen to this: This brewery in St. Francis Abbey in Kilkenny, Ireland has been in operation since 1710. Smithwick's is Ireland's oldest ale, inspired by John Smithwick's original recipe. This ale delivers a distinctive color, full bodied taste and ultra-smooth finish.
I'm counting on that ultra-smooth finish. :)
I made Sharon's Tranquil Peace but since I used all my shea butter yesterday, I had to use mango butter. I ran the recipe through the lye calc and the lye and water are the same.
I added 1 t. rose clay, 1/2 t. rose hips powder to one layer, .30 sodium lactate since this is a 30 oz. oil recipe. And I topped off the top with luffa sponges that I cut in half.
I used 1.55 total fragrance. 1.1 oz Strawberries and Cream fragrance oil from MMS and .45 oz. Jasmine fragrance oil from Bulk Apothecary.
Recipe:
2.4 oz shea butter
4.8 coconut oil
1.2 avocado oil
12 olive oil
4.8 rice bran
4.8 palm kernel
4.05 lye
9.0 beer
This is superfatted at 5%.
The making video is on Youtube under my name CharityKnitter. I will do the cutting video probably late tonight or tomorrow.
