Hand milled soap
My blog is supposed to be about how to make handcrafted soap so I suppose I should write about some things I do. I have always looked at rebatching soap and never tried it until I had a batch of soap that went wrong. So instead of throwing it away I hand grated it down into a crock pot and added my missing ingredient.(coconut oil) I wasn't sure how that was going to turn out so I was skeptical. I had fun doing this and it was easy and a good arm workout lol. Here is the result I call it a rock. I added pumice and pink clay to the mix and voila
So cool !!! To the grated soap I added coconut water to the crock pot of grated soap I wasn't sure how much at first so I added it slowly in. Then as it melted I added my coconut then I added in activated charcoal and the pink clay. When it was melted to like a thick sauce I said it's gotta be ready and I poured it into milk containers ( I love the half pint size ones) they are already waxed lined, I'm repurposing them, and they make a nice squarish bar of soap. Rustic.
I let these sit in the molds for almost a week I had to remove them to see the result. They were pretty soft I thought oh no good but thought maybe if I cut them they will cure faster to get the extra moisture out of them and after two weeks they hardened right up. Bubbly, soft and scrubby. I got so excited about this that I'm doing it again with some older bars of soap that I just didn't like and revamping them up. The new batch is wild blueberry I can't wait to see the result of this one !
