3 Rebatches a la Lilly


Candybee

Recommended Posts

Thanks to TT's post on rebatching soap a la Lilly I was able to reclaim 15 botched soaps and repurpose them.

 

The old soaps I am rebatching may look prettier than the new ones but that is because the batter was so thick with soap shreds that I opted to do fairly simple color schemes for all 3 rebatches.

 

The first is my Ginger Lime pumice scrubs. I made this batch using some 5 lemongrass & lime castile soaps I forgot to add the fragrance to.

 

Here are the results:

Rebatched to a Ginger Lime pumice scrub. Soap in the mold pic.

Cut pics. Sorry the pic quality is so bad. They smell awesome.

The second rebatch is my Mediterranean Fig pumice scrub. I am rebatching these because I forgot to add the pumice! :(

 

Here is one of the 5 I am rebatching:

The 3rd is my Goddess pumice soap. Again I forgot the fragrance for these so am rebatching!

 

One of the original 5 soaps:

Close up. These came out pretty nice too! Love the speckly color mix from the soap shreds!

Nice job on the rebatching. I did some too, but had to push the envelope and try 50% soap shreds to new oils. So, I'm gonna let them set a while to harden up more before I unmold. Actually, what I had wasn't soap "shreds". It was soap "crumbles". I found out what happens when you don't use a stick blender and pour fairly runny. It ends up like crumbly soft sand! After curing for almost 2 weeks, I could take it and break it up into crumbles.  It was actually very interesting...if I broke it up and then continued to massage it, what I ended up with was something almost exactly like playdough!  So If I ever need to sculpt some soap, I'll know how to make the playdough for it (assuming I can replicate what I did the first time).

 

I do see the horse; cool :)
