I used Guinness, a classic even in soaps. The beer lends the soap lots of precious antioxidants, proteins and sugars that contribute to a rich and conditioning lather. Cocoa powder increases the elasticity of the skin, detoxifies and gives the soap a nice brown color. The essential oil blend is earthy and spicy yet sweet, thanks to the strong accents of cinnamon and clove essential oils and the sweetness of the beer and cocoa. The temptation to taste it is real! A highly conditioning soap, for the whole body, including the scalp!
