Making Whipped Soap Using Old Cold Process Soap Shreds - Rebatch & Embeds | Ellen Ruth Soap

I'm using up all my soap shreds left over from beveling batches and batches of soap. This is a "no -waste" way to make every ounce of soap count 😉 I'm whipping some, and making soap ball embeds with some.. #nowaste #soap #homemadesoap
I love to create good for you, handcrafted soaps using the cold process method of soap making.

You should try adding a tub of whole sale supplies plus whipped soap base to it next time and a tea spoon or to of glycerin and a pound of top of sugar and make a whipped sugar scrub. Out of your shreds. I personally just add my scraps to hot water jug. Shake couple times a day when it’s fully dissolved I wash laundry been doing this for years love it.

[@TheLoveweaver]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

[@midnightsoapworks6525]

Ellen- I whipped my rebatch soap and put it into a jar and I’ve been using it as shave cream in the shower lol

[@bback4078]

This is really cool to learn! I had wondered if cold process soap could be melted down!

[@AnoushBotanical]

You have a peaceful demeanor and are very patient... Your turquoise color is indeed quite beautiful too. ~ Unfamiliar with your technique and container yet thought possibly once poured, slip the mold into a warm oven to address the soft log. Bars, if still soft, could also be "baked" to firm up as well. Time will solve all and you succeeded in the no waste mission. ~ Happy Soaping!

[@AGee2217]

Those confetti soap balls are such a good idea.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

They're fun because they're all different 😀

[@maxineromero7873]

the soap balls add a splash of color, very nice

[@ruefeee]

OMGosh!! Your idea is brilliant.... I had no idea I could use milk to hydrate rebatched soap and not to mention those beautiful gold embeds, super awesome soap, turned out magnificent 👌

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰 thank you. Next time I'll use less liquid, but it was a fun way to recycle the shreds.

[@AromaDelightBeautyCareProducts]

Everything came out so gorgeous!

[@susanravella6261]

Wow! Fun way to reuse scraps and make them good as new! Do we need any preservatives when adding milk to this?

Thankyou so much for sharing this recipe and ideas, as I'm fairly new to CP soaping I have quite alot of ugly soap and shreds and this would be wonderful to try

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You're welcome. Just don't add as much liquid as I did...🤣

[@ThankGodImAnAetheist]

I am surprised this is cold process soap

[@tamikad3535]

Thanks. My idea is to make like a whipped soap from scraps like you did here, add possibly a whipped oil and whip it in, then add salt to make my version of like a whipped emulsifying scrub? I'm new to diy beauty so I have no experience with emulsifyers etc. My only concern is how the soap and oil will react to eachother in this way but I will see.

[@brookiebakerie]

Those look like Ferrero Rocher candies. Haha.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Darn it. I did a rebatch and I used a manual mash potatoe tool. This seems so much better and easier.....

[@relaxwithdy-asmr4318]

Thank you very much💕 this video came perfect. I have s lot of soap to recycle from my videos💕💕💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! Just don't add as much liquid as I did, I think it will be even better next time with less fluid added😉

[@relaxwithdy-asmr4318]

After I saw this video I tried to recycle my soap and it didn't work 😁 I don't have the cooker you have. How can 8 smelt it without this cooker? Thank you for your advice in advance

[@relaxwithdy-asmr4318]

I did. I watched the video 5 times before I started😁 the problem is the soap doesn't melt😁

[@EllenRuthSoap]

@@relaxwithdy-asmr4318 I've seen people use a double boiler, or even put the soap shavings and liquid, in a large zip-lock bag and float it in simmering water to melt it.?. You can usually find used crock-pots at a thrift store for for super cheap.?.

[@relaxwithdy-asmr4318]

I will try first with the zip bag💕💕 if it doesn't work, then I will buy the cooker💕💕 thank you very much for answering

[@christineclarke1739]

If some of your shavings are fresh do you need to wait 4 weeks after rebatching before you can use it.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Good question! No, because I'm "cooking" it in the crock pot, so it's fully saponified and thru gel phase...

[@yasminelaradi9132]

@@EllenRuthSoap hi Ellen I love watching your videos 😊 I use my shavings in confetti soap, but you actually did something really interesting 💕 I have a question. If possible, could you tell me how much liquid you used per pound of shavings? Thank you in advance. 🌹

[@Bellessentials]

I love this idea! Love how the soap bars came out! How much fragrance did you add?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I actually didn't end up adding any fragrance, it still had a nice overall scent from all the scraps😉

[@faithjett8687]

I love rebatching and yours came out beautiful. I was wondering, do you add all the ingredients of your shreds to the the bar ingredient label?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't sell my rebatch soaps, so I haven't had to label them... They are for friends and family😉

[@juliecutrer3137]

Quick question.......I know you mixed the color with oil but I’ve heard it can be mixed also with water with a little sugar in it. I’m scared it will be too oily if I use oil. And also, shouldn’t I use some type of liquid when it starts to melt the shavings? It just seems easier to start mixing, like it makes It “juicy”.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you can mix it with water. Just really watch the amount of liquid, this batch was way too wet, I shouldn’t have added quite so much liquid...

[@valerietripp2434]

Hi Ellen! I know its been 2 years sice you made this video, however its hands down one of the best ones I have seen on rebatch! I do have a quick question. Could I not whip as much and just pour into a mold? I have rebatched soap many times but it never turnes out smooth as you know. I was just curious if you could use this same method. Thank you in advance!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I have seen other soapers whip CP soap batter and it's awesome!

[@valerietripp2434]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much!

[@valbakke]

Can you use a different liquid than coconut milk?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Absolutely! I think you could get really creative with it!😉

[@valbakke]

@@EllenRuthSoap thanks! How much liquid per lb of soap scraps should be used? My soap was made last spring /summer. I tried 2 oz of liquid per lb and it wasn't enough at all. The soap never got smooth. This time I want to try goats milk as the liquid.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

@@valbakke I've read articles that say you can use up to 5-8 oz per lb of soap, depending on how old and dry it is. I was using 5 oz per lb, and it was too wet for me.?. If it's not melting smooth, you can always add liquid as you go to soften it up...

[@ElisaAllen]

Did she say she added 5oz or 10oz

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It's approx. 5 oz or less of liquid per lb of shreds

[@shannelarbuckle1253]

This is completely different to what I thought it was going to be, this is just a rebatch

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yup, just rebatch. I love to recycle all those shavings.

How do you label the ingredients on something like this with so many different soap recipes mixed together?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's why I don't market these, too many different ingredients. They're just for friends and family.

[@victorvillevixen]

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you for responding.

[@emilyfleischmann]

How long did it take for the bars to really harden up? Once that happened, did they still float?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It took several days to get them slicable, and another week after that to really firm up... Yes, they still float😁

[@justaddlivingwater]

I've Rebatched twice and it comes out crumbly. Is it because I tried to whip and it already had milk or too hot in the crock pot??

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a good question, and I'm not sure of the answer. Did you use sodium lactate? That might help...

[@beautifuldreamer8803]

What does the floating soap mean?

It means that you've incorporated enough air during the whip so it floats in the water... I don't do it often, but whipped soap is fun.

[@beautifuldreamer8803]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks.

[@tigerlilley]

Hello. With the sodium lactate, do you still add this if the soap already was made with sodium lactate in it?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it helps make it smoother and more fluid in the rebatch.
