No heat rebatch soap - Recycling old soap scraps into new soap easily

[@tellervo.]

DISCLAIMER: This way of rebatching is not for fixing soaps that have issues. This is a way to recycle perfectly good soap scraps if you don’t like the normal rebatching method❤

[@elistyle82]

No lye needed for the recycling?

[@denaturalseeker]

Could I use this method if I want to add more superfat in my soap? since my CP soap feels too dry for my skin

[@tiffanygrimsely14]

That extra oil is superfatting your soap causing an overload of oil in your soap rendering your soap super soft.

[@LadyGecko]

@@elistyle82 - No, you still need to use Lye because this isn't real "rebatching" in which you use heat to melt the soap, it's a technique known as Confetti Soap.

[@LadyGecko]

@@denaturalseeker - Yes and no. You can add more SuperFat to the oil portion, but not to the shredded soap.

I recently made soap like this but I put my melted oils and soap shreds in a Vitamix blender to pulverize it all. Then I transferred the oil/shreds mixture to a big bowl and added my lye water. It turned out great!

Using the Vitamix sounds like a good idea - I was thinking that my stick blender would probably burn out. Did you heat your oils much or just melt them? Thanks.

I have followed your technique with a batch that I found not superfatted enough. I used 30% of the oils weight in rebatch soap and superfatted to desire the fresh batter recipe and it went incredibly well and in the final product we couldn t identify the rebatched soap. They perfectly melted with the soap batter that was basically the same but more superfatted. I really thank you for saving my soaps!!!! ❤❤

Another wonderful video. 😊I do rebatching for my soaps that well didn't exactly go as planned in the pretty department and I do love my crockpot. I will say for those who don't exactly like the chunky consistency must try cutting very small in size or you will have large chunks that will not melt down properly. I enjoy the look of a chunky rebatch crockpot soap because of the natural look of it the rocky element that it gives makes me think if nature itself which is the direction all of my soaps lean towards among all of my other items I carry. A double boiler works well too if you have enough patience.

Hi Sara, I have a question regarding your calculations. You mentioned that we could use our regular cp soap recipe and add 30% of our shredded soap for this method; although not stated, I’m assuming we are to deduct the 30% we’re adding from the TOW of the new soap recipe? So, 70% new soap oils + 30% shredded old soap= 100% ? Am I correct in my assumption? Otherwise, there’s no way to calculate for the mold we’re using. Thank you!

[@ljc675]

Beautiful video and I thought the soap looked lovely. Just a slight concern with it being called rebatch rather than confetti soap. People often use rebatch to fix a soap that went wrong, we often see advice given in forums to people who have maybe accidentally left out an oil so their soap is lye heavy, they're told to rebatch it and add in the missing oil. Or a soap seized so ended up a mess or even with lye pockets in it. In these cases using that 'wrong soap' with this method wouldn't be safe as a full hot method to melt everything down (and add in the extra oil if necessary) would be needed to correct that. I know that's probably not the type of soap you were aiming at, but the term rebatch would imply to less experienced soapers that this was an acceptable method for solving those problems when it wouldn't. I hope you don't mind my comment. I do think it was a beautiful soap

[@tellervo.]

Thank you for your comment. I understand, however I don’t see why rebatching good soap couldn’t also be called rebatching. This is obviously not the method to use with lye heavy soap, I will add a disclaimer on that. I don’t think this is a confetti soap since the end product is very different. People often wonder what they could do with perfectly good leftover soap and this video is for those people❤

That extra oil is superfatting your soap causing an overload of oil in your soap rendering your soap super soft.

[@LadyGecko]

@@tellervo. - Folks rebatch "good" soap all the time, it isn't always about fixing a soap that has too much or too little Lye. Maybe soap has lost it's scent or the colorant faded, morphed or just didn't turn out the way you wanted. And it isn't always about fixing anything either...you can actually buy pre-shredded unscented, uncolored soap (BrambleBerry sells regular and goat milk shreds). It's a great alternative for folks who don't want to hassle with Sodium Hydroxide, but also don't want to make M&P. But in order to 'rebatch' a soap...you have to remelt it. You do this by first grating the soap into shreds, putting it in a slow cooker or double-boiler on the stove, adding liquid...usually Distilled Water, and applying heat. All you did was grate the soap and then added the shreds to CP Soap...that's called "Confetti Soap". Confetti Soap refers to bars that contain shreds of previously made batches. And as with Rebatch, it has evolved...it's gone from folks recycling their trimmings and putting it in a white soap to using it as a design element. A few months back I made a soap to resemble Brach's Neapolitan Coconut Sundaes. To replicate the 'coconut', I made a small batch of unscented white soap and shredded it and then added to each layer. I've seen white soap used in blue to make 'snow', or in black soap to make 'stars'. And you don't have to use 'shreds' to make a Confetti Soap...you can simply chop up a soap into different size bits/chunks, or cut it into different size squares or chop up extruded soap dough. Now I do agree that the end product looks different. Hot Process/Rebatched Soap has a very unique appearance, which is why I was so quick to click on your like...your 'rebatch' looked like Cold Process Soap and so I thought you had invented some new process. But once I saw you add the shredded soap to a new batch of soap, I knew it wasn't. And even though you used the same dark colorant and stick blended the shreds, you can still see them in your soap...it's just the nature of the beast.

Lovely soap. I hope you mind me asking a question. In your example of how to calculate…. 1000 grams add 30% of oil weight. Is this 300 grams added to the 1000 grams, making the total amount of batter 1300 grams or is the 300 grams subtracted from the 1000 grams which would end up being the following; 700 grams of oil and 300 grams of shredded soap. Please forgive, I am fairly new at soap making. I really enjoy watching your videos.
