Activated Charcoal Guinness Beer Soap | Unscented detox Bar for Face and Body
Activated Charcoal Guinness Beer Soap | Unscented detox Bar for Face and Body
By replacing water with authentic Guinness Draught, we’ve created a bar that is exceptionally moisturizing and rich in antioxidants.
This isn't just soap; it’s a functional skincare treatment. The activated charcoal acts as a molecular magnet, pulling dirt, oil, and environmental pollutants from your pores, while the Guinness hops and barley soothe and condition the skin so it never feels "stripped" or dry.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Our primary base for a gentle, conditioning wash that keeps skin supple.
• Coconut Oil: The "cleansing powerhouse" that creates those big, satisfying bubbles and ensures a deep clean.
• Raw Shea Butter: We added a generous helping of Shea to provide a "super-fatted" finish, leaving a protective, moisturizing barrier on the skin.
• Castor Oil: The secret weapon for beer soaps. It acts as a natural foam stabilizer, making the Guinness lather even thicker, creamier, and more "marshmallow-like."
The Active Additives
• Authentic Guinness Stout: Replaces water in the saponification process, infusing the bar with B vitamins, minerals, and skin-softening amino acids from hops and barley.
• Activated Charcoal: Provides the deep, obsidian colour and medicinal-grade detoxification to draw out impurities from pores.
Why You’ll Love It
Deep Detoxification: Activated charcoal acts like a magnet to pull toxins, dirt, and excess oil from deep within the pores.
• The "Black Velvet" Look: A stunning, naturally jet-black bar that looks sophisticated in any bathroom.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Provides a smooth, clean feel without the harshness of synthetic scrubs.
• Triple-Threat Ingredients: Combines the amino acids of Hops, the vitamins of Barley, and the purifying power of Carbon.
Scent Profile
The sugars and grains survive the saponification process to create a very specific, subtle, and "earthy" base. The smell is very faint.
Why Beer Soap?
It’s not just a novelty; it’s a skincare powerhouse. The hops in Guinness contain skin-softening amino acids that help soothe irritation, while the brewer's yeast acts as a natural antibacterial agent.
Size
Bars weigh approximately 116g (4.10oz). because bars are hand cut, there will be a slight difference from bar to bar.

Organic Shea Butter |
It is rich in fatty acids that mimic the skin's natural lipids, sealing in moisture without feeling greasy. High levels of Vitamins A and E promote cell regeneration and help soften rough patches (ideal for elbows and knuckles). |

Castor Oil |
Acts as a natural humectant to draw moisture to the skin and turns the Guinness proteins into a thick, marshmallow-like foam. |

Beer is naturally rich in B vitamins (like B2, B3, B6, and B12) and biotin. Skin Barrier: Vitamin B helps the skin retain moisture and supports the natural lipid barrier, |

Activated Charcoal |
Provides the deep, obsidian colour while acting as a vacuum for your pores—pulling out toxins and environmental pollutants. |

⚠️ Product Cautions
• For External Use Only: While the bar may look and smell great, this bar is for skin application only. Do not ingest.
• Patch Test Recommended: If you have sensitive skin or allergies, we recommend performing a small patch test on your inner forearm before full-body use.
• Surface Safety: Because this soap contains natural oils, it may make your tub or shower floor slightly slippery. Use caution when stepping in and out.
Care Instructions
Because this soap is made the old-fashioned way, it’s a little different than the "big brand" bars. This bar contains natural glycerin, which attracts moisture. To extend the life of your soap, always use a draining soap dish and allow the bar to dry completely between uses.
Storage: Not using it yet? Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
