I was inspired by DeeAnna’s blog to collect soap scraps left from over 10 years ago and try the salting out process. I was very surprised by the results of a smooth batter that could be poured. If I had two batches going at the same time I could have swirled the colors together. It is unlike any re-batched soap I ever made long ago.
I think the difference may be that the soap curds were still moist all the way through, so they melted completely. Or perhaps the sodium lactate made a difference? Has anyone else tried DeeAnna’s method for salting out scraps or failed soap batches?
I unmolded the soap in the pic too soon, so a little stuck in the mold, but you can see the results, including fine detail. The guest soap from a silicone mold worked perfectly. I used chromium green for coloring and linden blossom fragrance.
