This bar has all the deliciousness - and nutrition - of a Bloody Mary! Actually, it's more of a Michelada - a Bloody Mary with a cerveza! That's right! A beer base (and not just any old beer, mind you! Nope! We sourced a special Mexican Lager, Pour Favor, from our friends down at Hugger Mugger Brewing Co. in Sanford, NC...cuz a true Michelada is made with a real Mexican lager!) pairs up with a fresh tomato puree (from our own homegrown tomatoes) for a vitamin packed treat for your face! True #skinfood!
Ingredient Spotlight:
- Beer contains malt and hops, which include proteins that nourish and promote your skin barrier. Historically too, people have used beer soap recipes to freshen their skin and reduce the risks of topical skin conditions. More recent studies have shown that the yeast in beer can aid in the process of fighting acne, and skin inflammations, and controlling oil production, making this suitable for those of you with oily and irritated skin. Beer soaps ideally help you maintain your skin’s pH levels and allow your skin a sense of freshness, smoothness, and nourishment.
- Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that can repair damaged skin and restore its natural, healthy glow. The inclusion of tomato puree offers its acidic and astringent properties and make it an excellent ingredient for oily and acne prone skin. Antioxidant-rich tomato seed oil offers a luxurious addition of beauty bolstering properties.
- Richly moisturizing kokum butter and ultra creamy avocado butter bring deep hydration properties.
- A thin layer of ground nettles offers a bounty of skincare benes, acting as natural astringent, regulates natural sebum production, tightens and firms the skin, and accelerates the healing process of wounds.
- Moroccan red clay provides extra skin nourishment and soothing properties while also detoxifying and drawing out impurities.
Delicate notes of juicy ripe tomatoes, lime and basil complement this farm fresh bar!
MAKERS NOTE: We can't promise, nor do we make any claims that our botanical bars will provide you with any of these skin benefits. The science is still undecided on whether any botanical benefits survive the saponification process. We just hope that you enjoy the love, care and #plantmagic that we pour into our soap!

Handmade soaps need to breathe! We recommend storing your soap on a slatted or free draining soap dish so that it can air dry in between uses.
- Remove botanical toppings prior to use.
- Don't allow your soap to sit in a puddle of water.
- Use a wash cloth, loofah or soap saver bag to extend the life of your soap bar.
- Use your soap bar within one year of purchase. I know they're pretty to look at, but they're intended to be used so enjoy them! :)
- Store unused soap out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity conditions.
- You may experience colored lather with dark or brightly colored bars; however, no permanent staining should occur.
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs
- Soaps are for external use only & are not edible
