Origin of La Beer Epoque

We offer Belgian Beer Soaps

Beer + La Belle Epoque = La Beer Epoque.  Both are pride of Belgium.

Wonders of beer soap:

1.Beer soap is a natural soap (cold process), it cleans and moisturise skin at the same time.

2.Beer soaps do not smell beer, depending on the beer, it carries a sweet malty scent.

3.Hops in beer give added values – antimicrobial & skin-conditioning – to your skin.

4.Beer soaps lather abundantly, and hence clean efficiently.

5.Suds of handmade soaps can be easily rinsed off your skin, easier than that of commercial soaps.

Beer soap is not only a natural soap product for your daily use, but it also bears a national spirit.

Looking for a gift that represents Belgium ? Why not a Belgian beer soap.

Our slogans are :

More than a beer, more than a soap!

Mousse like Belgian beers!

Hello! Bonjour!

Belgian Beer Soaps made in Brussels

My name is Amy Lam. I make soaps simply because it’s an excellent product, and I love studying and making them.

I am the creator of Ka Lab, owner of La Beer Epoque®, a small soap making business set up in the heart of Brussels. I am a certified Savonnier (France).

Training in France. I was cutting a SOAP slab!

Previously I was a dress-maker of 20 years of experience. I’m specialised in making bags and pouches.

My family started in Brussels in 2003. We left Belgium 5 years later and now we are re-settled back in Brussels and started the savonnerie project in 2019.

My previous living abroad experience opened up my vision to soap making. Prior to creating beer soaps, I have tested and documented over 200 soap recipes. Some of them were used in the two lines of smaller scale handmade soaps I created previously, one in Shanghai, and one in Riyadh.

I have also conducted soap-making workshops to teens and adults.

Besides La Beer Epoque Belgian beer soaps, I also continue to experience soap in other forms – art soaps, personalised soaps, hot-process soaps and even soap accessories.

Good Manufacturing Practice in cosmetics

Making artisan soaps does not mean that there is no modern management.

About sewing

Soap accessories

If sewing is my first, then soap-making is my second life.
All the textile soap companions offered by La Beer Epoque® are designed and sewn by myself in the sewing room located in the basement of my soap workshop. All fabrics and labels are sourced in Europe.
Soap accessories

I like to experience different fabrics and possibilities to increase the ‘mobility’ of natural products, that you can carry it with you organically. Therefore, you’ll find soap accessories fit for travel use in our webshop.

 

I’m specialised in making purses and pouches.  S
