Which beers are used in LBE soaps?
Belgian beer is used in LBE beer soaps, which are formulated with two considerations :
- beer – determines the soap attributes (scent, colour, additives and sometimes the name)
- oil composition – determines for which skin type the soap is made for (see blog article ‘ingredients’)
If you want to turn your favourite beer or home brew into soaps, contact us. 1 bottle of 25cl or 33cl can give 1-3 kg of soap.
LBE uses currently the following criteria to select beers used in our soaps.
- Light / blonde / white / ambrée (light in colour, SRM* 1 <=20) – Essentials E soaps
- Dark / brune (darker in colour, SRM up to 40) – Sudoras soaps
- Lambic / fruité (addition of fruit or other flavor) – Fruitas soaps.
