Whenever I have enough left over soap chunks from other soap recipes I mix them into a new soap batch at trace so that you end up with new "confetti" soaps.
I've done this a few times to recycle left over soap chunks from other recipes and normally keep these soaps for myself or give some to friends. However this last time I had a lot of chunks and ended up making 20 confetti soaps. Since none of the chunks were blue, I made a blue base scented with ylang ylang. Because some of the chunks were from pumice soap, I've also added pumice to the blue base.
I'm wondering if I should consider selling some as 20 for myself and friends is a lot. Who else sells confetti soaps like this and do customers like them?
By the way I figured out a trick to end up with just the right amount of batter to fill a mold with the recycled chunks in it, I simply weigh the chunks I'll be adding to the recipe, and substract that weight from the batch size I'd normally make to fill that mold, it fills the mold exactly and I use silicone molds because these are salt soaps.
Thanks
