Turn Old Soap into New Soap (Partial Rebatch Soapmaking Method)

All soapmakers have a box or tray of it somewhere... old soap that's lost its color or scent, or is just too small or ugly to sell. It's still good soap, though! And you can use (or disguise) it in a new batch of cold process soap using the partial rebatch method. I've shared it here step by step using the recipe below. However, you can use many other soap recipes as a base for this method, so make sure to listen to the tips I share so you can use it in your own unique way!
