Wine in Soap??

[itsmeroro]

Hello - I am new here (hi from CA!) and have been researching soap making using the cold process - I have seen beer as an additive - could someone tell me if I could use wine?? Has anyone done this? Just interested in making a soap for my wine country area... Thanks so much! RoRo

Welcome to our family!!! I don't do CP or HP soap but wine in soap would be interesting! Where in Cali are you? I lived in Modesto for awhile and used to frequent the Gallo winery, we were friends with some of the family.

I've never used it, but it is a common practice I seen many pictures of wine soap. Pair up the liquid real stuff with a wine scented FO and you have a interesting soap. A good one for the V-Day time would be Strawberies & Champaigne FO. Several have it. Use wine in soap is fine!

I've never heard of beer or wine in soap. 8) Anyone have a recipe they'd be willing to share?

Where in California do you live? Did I meet you at a fair? LOL in Suisun? Just wondering if that was you..

Anyway..

It will have to be flat!
Beer soap.. the beer is flat!.. I assume the wine will have to be room temp,and flat.
I think I would do half wine, and half distilled water..

Hmm.. I have wine in the fridge.. I am going to look into that..

Hey Paul, thats a good idea.. scent it with a Wine FO.. since the wine scent wont come out naturally..

So you just use it with your water/lye? I think that would be a neat combination/scent. I'm going to try it on my DH.

[Guest]

Are there any benefits to using beer or wine in soap or is just for the fun of it?

 

[Guest]

I was told beer promotes more lather..

Does anyone know if it keeps any sort of fragrance at all? Or would you indeed have to use the fo to supplement?

( :shock: Surprised Paul has not added margaritta to his soaps.)

did someone mention margarittas????????? Some for me, some for you......more for me, less for you.

Question: where do you find wine FO's??

How do you like the sound of this FO?:

Strawberries & Champagne

A fruity wine, romantic, strawberry champagne fragrance with undernotes of soft florals to bring out the strawberry champagne mix.

It is from Cajun Candles & Supply

Now that I am thinking about it...I have a girlfriend who was (she stopped to go back to school) a wonderful soaper. She did have a wonderful, what she called, a "golden margaritta" soap and body butter. Need to ask her where she got that one.

Me thinks Tab has a margarita soap? Maybe. Check her Etsy shop.
