How To Make Whipped Soap using old Cold Process shreds Rebatch method | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@ivonvalle2683]

You are incredible making something beautiful out of scraps. Like I always say you are the best.

[@marywheeler3555]

I’m a band new soap maker. Matter of fact I’ve only made 2 batches. I’m a little bit of an overachiever so I took on hot process goat milk soap. Both batches seized up. I did watch several videos on rebatching and dove back in. The first batch came out almost looking the same. Then I watched your video while the second batch was melting. You mentioned sodium lactate. No one else did. I ran to the pantry. I found a bottle of sodium lactate! My soap batch not only became fluid enough to get it into the mold but it came out lighter. I can’t thank you enough for your video. You were a soap saver!

[@lauren1779]

I use to make soaps years ago stopped after falling into hard times and depression. Finding inspiration on your channel your soap is beautiful ♥️🌺☀️

[@roseking6681]

I have never rebatched my soap, but after watching your video I’m going to do it.

[@LarBud05]

My new fave phrase “car crash of scent” hahaha 🤣🤣

[@tracyevans4370]

Looks like a cross between chocolate cake and Red Velvet Cake. Yummy! The piping on top is a perfect finishing touch too! Beautiful!!😍

[@jennyprorock]

This would be a great way to make some masculine soaps! Maybe use a dark/midnight blue or even black shade and a strong masculine fragrance oil that would easily mask any leftover fragrances from the scraps. Wouldn't even bother piping on top. Just a rustic, manly bar of soap. It's an idea 🤣

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

I never would have thought to pipe hot process or rebatch soap. Great job, Ellen!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you, these were fun to make!

[@felinelvr27]

I agree

[@ruthcowden1386]

When I saw that red going in I thought we were headed for "meat soap." Nope! It is gorgeous. This is the best rebatch I've seen.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 "meat soap"😂

[@clairewright8153]

Thank you for showing how we can use scrapes of soap and not be wasteful. I remember my grandmother grating small dried bits of soap bars and melting them in hot water to wash woollen jumpers. We used a very plain soap and nothing was wasted in our house. Ps that colour is so pretty.

[@tammythomas6417]

Thank you so much for your videos. Im starting out and am amazed at the help that is offered by successful soap makers.

[@deurbanscents2561]

Now I know what to do with my soap scraps,lol. I hate to waste them. I actually took some of my shavings at work and use it as one time use. Thanks for sharing.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💕 yes! I don't like to waste anything, especially lovely soap shreds 😊

[@lisadegen5158]

I love this video - It really made me laugh when it turned the baby diaper colour! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m so glad you managed to fix it by adding the red in, it turned out lovely 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you!! 😊

[@deathdiablo22]

I watched this super early this morning and it gave me the courage to rebatch a calla lily soap that didn't come out. My soap isn't shredded but I chopped it into smaller chunks. I'm seeing how long it's going to take while watching a movie.

[@leesadexter7187]

The re-batch I made last time looked like a gorgeous granite countertop! Beautiful!

[@vernaharris181]

I know some people don’t like rebatched soap but I think the lather is very luxurious. I love them

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You're right, it always has fantastic lather❣️

[@1maraquepasa]

I love watching your authentic passion for soap making. I love learning from your simple techniques, you are such an inspiration. Keep Rocking!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!

[@1maraquepasa]

@@EllenRuthSoap you're very Welcome. ♥️♥️♥️

[@datbat1]

I'm glad this soap turned out. As you were spooning it into the mold, I thought, "Oh, no! She's made meatloaf!" I should have known you'd pull it off. The color changed to a deep figgy color as it dried, and it looks great. It's hard to make a rebatch look really good, but you did it.

[@GrandmaMarlayne]

Loved the video. I have only done one soap scap rebatch and it turned out awful and I haven't tired it again. I think after this video it will be worth a second try. Thank you!

[@soapsforlove4168]

The brick red is really wonderful. I love whipped rebatch soap.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! I hate to waste any of those wonderful soapy bits😊

[@Southphxgal2023]

I just made some yesterday. I used very little water and about 3/4 can of coconut milk. Turns out great. The same size crockpot you show.

[@laurashearer5155]

This is beautiful. I just tried my first rebatch today and I wish I had seen this video before. I am new to soaping and you are very informative! Thank you!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰💕

[@LittleIowaHomestead]

I enjoyed the whole video ❤️ very pretty soap scrap bars! I enjoy your visiting with us like we are with you 😊 -Shonna

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I feel like I'm chatting with friends🥰

[@tanana2070]

Rustic brick soap! I love it!!

[@cheryl739]

I love the Victorian Rose color it came out. Beautiful! A tip perhaps, I add TD to my initial water to help lighten the batter, so when I add color, I get closer to what I am aiming for. I usually make whipped soaps with my scraps and then felt little animals around the bars, for the little kiddies. They're animals and they float and clean all at once. But love that you piped the top! Love these! 👍💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks Cheryl, that's a great tip! And I love the animal idea💕

[@tilia1719]

Thank you for sharing. Nice informative video.

[@cryingbroken8824]

A *compendium of everything NOT to do when soap making!* Yet somehow she pulled it off and came up with a wonderful soap! 😲😘 And *remained safe* while doing so!!!🙃🙃🙃🥰

[@kellytague2173]

I am right there with you. I think you are doing a great job.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

😊 Thanks!

[@empathicone21]

Ellen Ruth, you commented, when you were adding coloring, that you could use some help, suggestions. I will say, you did a fine job! Rebatching seems to be somewhat about the adventure that comes with the process. I will share what I used to do with rebatched scrap soap . 1. I would add no color or scent. Make it into a loaf. Cut into chunks, squares or whatever shape. A) Then use in a complimentary new batch. Such as: a) make into mudroom soap bars, usually square or at least thick. These are great to wash hands, soap a rag to wipe off mud or dirt from boots. Or soap up a scrub brush to clean mudroom stuff, buckets, garden tools, etc. 2. I would make into coffee garden soap bars. Add thick dark instant coffee, for scent & color Or add scent & color to resemble coffee. Coffee grounds are a great addition. 3. Make into a activated charcoal bar soap color it gray, black, or other color with a swirl. Thank you. This turned out beautifully!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for the great ideas!

[@botanicalwaters]

You are TOP NOTCH in every category‼️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks!

[@lherringe]

I just came across this video because I've only recently heard about hot process soap, but now I'll be diving into all your videos 😊 If you do another batch at some point you could colour and scent it really deep chocolate brown and it would look like chocolate mousse! Yum

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Welcome! Oh, I love the chocolate mousse idea, I'll keep that in mind😘

[@berniebee1290]

I LIKE THE LOOK

[@lauriesorenson3172]

Watching soap vids is so relaxing. Thank you. You are a good teacher. God bless.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@RHPutri]

It looked like brownies to me❤

[@jcortese3300]

I think these look cute -- you can make a sage green one and a steel blue one and they'll all be sort of Wedgwood porcelain colored.

[@ruthportway5198]

Hi, Ellen Ruth, I am Ruth Ellen and I really enjoyed your video tfs

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Hi Ruth Ellen (great name 😉) thank you 💕

[@highstandards6226]

Last time I rebatched, my eldest daughter's stepchildren wanted some personalized soaps, so I gave them their choice/s...the girls chose "Elmo" molds and a hot cinnamon fragrance, but wanted it whipped...🙄 hubby and the one poor son of the bunch want something much more manly...so went with an evergreen scent and a a very light green, again well whipped, and THAT came out smelling like original Irish Spring scented with all the same tints of green and white streaks as that same original bar..and was sliced into squared bars, even better, having been whipped, they were allowed to cure for another extra 2 weeks given the weather gremlins that inhabit Southern Ontario...that particular soap rebatch ended up sealing the edges super well and DID actually float! Which all involved enjoyed, at least long enough to learn to get the bars out of the water and draining FAST! BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT MELTS JUST AS FAST AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARS down the drain...and despite Nanna's notes can't be easily replicated...so they were out of luck as far as replacement...🤷‍♀️😘 not intentional, but lesson well learned. And honestly, went a long way to keeping their natural grandmothers in a much less threatened frame of mind.👏👏🤷‍♀️🤪 and their natural MOTHER too. Sometimes being too good at the strangest things can wreak havoc for the oddest of reasons. My daughter actually thanked me for NOT warning them about the soap melting if not properly taken care of! I couldn't have, I didn't know either! Apparently "mom" was not entirely at ease with the new dynamic...and that was making for a few rough waves at times..between ALL members of the family.🥺

[@DeborahKeeney-mg3ft]

Anxious to try this!

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

Great to see the whole rebatch process including tips...and piping on top just elevates an ordinary soap bar into a pretty one! Great idea thank you for sharing 💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

Gorgeous. Thank you.

Great use of those soap scraps, isn't it exciting to create by re-using? This is beautiful, well done

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I don't like to waste💕

[@RedElephantAlly]

Those are actually very nice. I tried to rebatch some scraps that had a lot of purple in it. Oh they turned out terrible, lol! It’s just one of those things you gotta keep working at. 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! Yes, rebatch is different every time..😅

I have watched your videos many time now and you always amaze me in soap making. I have not tried CP from scratch, but I just ordered a bag of Rebatch from a vendor that I have used in the past. I think I will try your method of whipping to make some bars. If the whipping method is not for making bar soap, please let me know. Love this idea, thank you!💖💖🥰

[@tammyjohnson9505]

Hahahahahaha You my dear are absolutely delightful to watch. With that fourth addition of colorant I was laughing right along with you. And viola beautiful soap!!!! And found my brain had already started writing a commercial to promote you and you floating soaps along with childhood flashback of searching all through the bathwater trying to find the soap. Lol

So clever and simple. Thank you. I am so glad someone else does things like this. Step by step and wings it - sorta! I really enjoyed this video. The scent? Not so much. I’m not a fan of cinnamon, I know, I know. I would have done apricot danish!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 🥰. Apricot Danish sounds great!

[@carrielehman5189]

Really nice! :) I have seen rebatch soaps before, but never any that are whipped smooth. Love this idea and will keep it in mind for my scraps and other CP soap batches that might not work out in a way I would want them to. Thank you for sharing your work and great ideas! As a beginner, I appreciate your videos so very much!

[@cindiallen5529]

when you mix green & pink scraps to rebatch - it turns the batter to ugly brown! I usually try not to mix those color scraps with the main bucket saved - and if there are any chunks of either color just remove 1 before starting to cook! Your soaps are always looking good Ellen - love your videos
