GUINNESS BASE – The Return of a Legend
After three years, it’s finally back.
Our original Guinness Base became a cult favorite the moment it launched — a water-free formulation built entirely on the richness of Guinness Beer. Ever since production stopped, people have searched for it, asked for it, and traded for whatever jars remained in collectors’ hands.
And after three years of constant requests…
We finally couldn’t resist.
GUINNESS Base returns — faithful to the original concept, but rebuilt and elevated for modern performance.
Just like the first release, this formula contains zero water.
Instead, the full liquid phase is 100% Guinness Beer, now enhanced with Aloe Vera Leaf Water Extract to deliver soothing hydration and a smoother post-shave finish. The beer contributes natural proteins, sugars, and minerals that dramatically enhance lather density and stability, while aloe improves glide and skin comfort.
A firmer croap by design, GUINNESS Base loads quickly and cleanly, creating an ultra-dense, creamy lather with minimal effort — no blooming required.
No shortcuts.
No compromise.
Just the legendary base you’ve been asking us to bring back — perfected.
What to Expect
Beer-enriched, ultra-dense lather with heavy cushion
Elite slickness, even on water-only passes
Soothed, hydrated post-shave feel from aloe + premium oils
A formula enriched with:
Guinness Beer • Squalane • Jojoba Oil • Abyssinian Oil • MCT Oil • Aloe Vera Extract • Panthenol • Silk Protein • Lanolin
GUINNESS Base delivers a luxurious, traditional-meets-modern shaving experience with unmistakable character.
THE PROCESS
Created through the hot process method, this base allows us to incorporate skincare-focused ingredients — including Squalane, Jojoba, MCT Oil, Abyssinian Oil, Panthenol, Silk Protein, and Aloe Vera Extract — after saponification, preserving their natural benefits.
And just like its original release, no water is used during production.
The formula is built entirely on Guinness Beer, enriched with Aloe Vera Leaf Water Extract, improving lather structure, glide, moisture retention, and skin recovery.
Beer naturally boosts foam strength, creaminess, and stability due to its sugars and proteins.
Aloe adds soothing, hydrating performance for comfort throughout the shave.
The result is a base that honors its original identity — and enhances it in every measurable way.

For Optimal Lather and Maximum Performance
Load the brush for about 10 seconds — this base picks up product quickly.
Lather in a bowl or directly on the face, gradually adding water.
This base loves hydration — more water = thicker, slipperier, creamier lather.
GUINNESS Base has excellent water retention, allowing you to fine-tune the lather’s texture and density.
For optimal performance, add water generously.
Scent Strength Indicator
The Scent Meter Label beneath the jar reflects fragrance strength after lathering, not from the unmelted soap.
