rebatching soap making

Rebatching soap making can be an interesting alternative for those who do not wish to handle lye.

Soap makers state that this method requires less scent (essential or fragrance oils) and that additives retain more of their beneficial properties.

The rebatching soap making method is also referred to as hand-milled soap making.

It begins with soap noodles or soap shavings that havebeen procured at a soap making supplier.

The soap making noodles are heated with some water. Soap noodlesor soap shavings are usually not fully cured and you will need to use safetyprecautions by wearing goggles and gloves.

Certain soap makers will make their own noodles or shavings and store them until they are ready to create their customized soaps.

  • Sharp knife
  • Glass measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • Mixing spoons and wood stirrers
  • Spray bottle (small) with rubbing alcohol

  • Plastic wrap or container.
