Hi, Anne Marie, two things: One, I'm so glad to see you giving vocal instructions vs. music. You are so talented and experienced and have so much to offer new, moderate and veteran soapers. I have learned so much from you over the years and still do. Two, I still recommend goggles for your rebatch due to my unfortunate and PAINFUL experience. A few years ago I made hot process and wore goggles. After the long cook (it's now soap, you know) I didn't wear them to mold it. Tapping it down, a piece flew up and hit me in the eye: ouch times one thousand! Even well cured soap burns the eyes, plus hot process/rebatch soap is very hot so it burns your eyes twice. Thanks for another GREAT video!
I agree. Especialy hot process that (let's face it) sometimes the PH could be still high after the cooking procss. I am taking off the gloves but never the goggles and I told your story in my channel so that other soapers will do the same .
Wow, what a lesson and this video is from two years ago, which is when I first started to experiment with soap making, body butters, etc....not at the level of CP yet, but getting there. Thank you, Annmarie, I bought your book "Pure Soapmaking". I am so busy watching your videos I haven't gotten to the book, but I will, I must. You are so informative. I have watched many other DIY videos, but I keep coming back to you. You're easy to listen to. Your illustrations are excellent. I bought a kit from you for my guy customers and it sold out! One of my customers like what I made from your ingredients that he threw away all of his store bought shaving products...! Wow! Thank you, Bramble Berry...will be buying more from you and will keep learning--from you.
Yay!! I love this style of video so much more than the fast 4 minute ones. Much more personal and easier to follow along with. FYI your new style looks GREAT Anne Marie! Especially love the hair👌💕
Just made this today! super fun, but you were not kidding when you said you had a baby! It turned into a mad dash to get enough water in there and the fragrance so it wouldn't burn on our gas stove. A lot of laughs and now our house smells amazing with the daisy chain fragrance
I love how Anne-Marie always acts like she is talking to small businesses who want to learn to make soap and not a middle school student who suddenly discovered soap making and LOVES it and is really good at it.... Cause is my case, that’s exactly who she’s talking to.
Love the videos! My question..if I made a batch of cold process soap yesterday, how soon can I grate and rebatch? Wondering if I still have to wait 4-6 weeks. Thank you!
Shauna Rabinowitz try it in a crockpot instead of the direct heat method. So much easier. And you can add additional liquid if you would like. Keeping in mind like Ann-Marie said, the more liquid, the longer it may take to get hard. And also remember that Anne-Marie is an enormously talented soap maker. So don’t get discouraged that your first attempt was not as great as hers. You can definitely use the rebatch method...you got this 😊
soap there are no melt and pour soap bases that have strawberry seeds in it. You have to add it in yourself. A lot of websites have honey melt and pour base including brambleberry
I have learned so much with your channel, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us, I have a question: Can I do mountain top style I think that is the name, to make them looks nicer?
When you popped the soap out of its mold and it landed on the loose petals I thought "uh Oh. Oh wait, that is going to look pretty!" Then you said it too! I thought that was funny!
I was wondering if you could create a video on best ways to clean supplies that have been in contact with essential oils. :) I am always worried about cross-contaminating smells from one product one day and onto another product the next.
Can you rebatch soap just for color? I have a batch that of soap with fragrance that turned brown and I would like to make it lighter. What are my chances of adding titanium dioxide?
Rebatch soap is also made from hot process scraps. I hot process because I can add my milks, fragrance, color or superfat at the end of cook after lye is no longer so active and won't affect them or destroy them in the process. It's soooo hard to find information for we hot processors. 😕 But I do find info here that I can use❤
Its cheaper yet you can fancy it up live in a small town no store here carries lye or cocoa butter & a few extra supplies so I am going to take store soap bars give it a try....
I didn’t know about rebatch 😱 wonderful got to know that. So I have a question: I’ve watching a lot of videos os cold process and some soapmakers use plastic container so which is the best glass or plastic is fine ?
We have a variety of dried flowers and botanicals that work well on rebatch, here's a link: www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/ingredients/additives-and-lye/botanicals?start=12&sz=12
Danza somática no they are not. The essential oil or fragrance oil would only be effected if you actually reach the boiling point of the essential/fragrance oil. Which would be pretty unlikely. Hope that helps 😊
Cassidy Mason rebatching is the perfect solution to a soap that seized on you. It’s really about your only option actually. There are some pretty advanced techniques you can do with a seized soap. But rebatching is definitely your best solution for a seized soap. Hope that helps 😊
Hello! I am getting ready to #BrambleOn and had a question. I have an RO system (Reverse Osmosis) at home. Is this okay to use vs. Distilled water? Thank you!
Good afternoon. Please tell me you decorate soap Butch with flowers. When storing flowers can deteriorate or to become damaged by mold? Or flowers remain unchanged? Thank you in advance
Hi I found ur channel & have been watching some videos to learn how to make soaps & rebatches but I’m a little stuck 😅 I warmed up some old cold process soap & put the mold in the fridge in hopes it would speed up the process. It looked lovely but then it started to sweat & one of them melted so I placed the sweaty ones back in the fridge & now I’m stuck 🙈
Love your videos! I am planning on starting a soap making business soon but I am currently just making them as gifts. I was looking for the various labels from your channle/projects and noticed they have been taken down....can you please repost them all? Thank you!
Hi! I bought your beginner cold process kit, and I have LOVED it. Made some great soaps so far. But I had one batch that just would. not. harden. I feel sure I weighed everything correctly, so I'm not sure what happened. Would rebatching work on a soap that never quite hardened? I *hate* the idea of it going to waste. Thanks! 😊
Great question! Soft soap is usually caused by an incorrect balance of lye and oils. You can try using a dry bar of soap and add it to your soft batch at a larger ratio.
@@bramble-berryI had the same issue but I used more soft oils than hard, it hardened a tad but I can press my finger into the soap. If I rebatch and add sodium lactate will that help?
Can you rebatch / shred your soaps if they get a gel consistency ? It's a cold process soap. Something went wrong with temperature during drying I guess. I'm afraid while I shred the soap its going to be sticky.
Something went wrong I am guess it's coz the coconut oil that I used was not hard at the room temperature (new brand ) I tried so the soap turned out soft even after a week. Given the conditions in my place the soap is normally hard the next day. Can I rebatch this soap to make a new soap?
I've tried reboot hung 3 x and it comes out lovely soap but I don't use SL, and I have been using milk and I see others who soap with milk and it comes out crumbly, but creamy and soft.??? Any ideas why it won't stick together?? Thanks Anne Marie
Hi Ann Marie! This may be a stupid question, but I am new to soap making (waiting for my bramble berry order as we speak). Can you use the rebatch shreds in cold process soap to end up looking like confetti inside the soap?
Fruit could go rancid and ruin your soap, so that is not recommended. You can put flowers into the soap instead of on top, but like she said, the flowers will eventually (sometimes quickly) turn brown, so you will lose all the beautiful color. That's why she put them on top.
Can I rebatch cold processed soap that i added too much activated charcoal powder to and now the bubbles are light black? It’s not bad, just unattractive when using. The soap is at 6 wks cured and I don’t want to give away as gifts because the bubbles turn a light black. Is rebatching the answer?
I'm new to making m&p....ik it's not co, but I'm curious to know what are the inches you cut in? & how many lbs or oz of soap do you use for that type of loaf? I love your videos btw thanks
This particular project is actually rebatch soap. Here is an awesome informational blog post about the different soapmaking techniques: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/pros-cons-of-soapmaking-methods-cold-process-melt-pour-hot-process-and-rebatch/ We used the 10" silicone loaf mold for this recipe. www.brambleberry.com/10-Silicone-Loaf-Mold--P5199.aspx
So I'm guessing that to deliberately make a batch of soap purely for re batching it would best not to have colour or fragrance in? Unless you want, say a pink coloured bar of soap? Also I know you mentioned it at the beginning, but if you made the original soap, say 2 days prior, then made the re batch soap, once it is unmoulded it is ready to use? Don't have to wait 4-6 weeks?
Hello... I tried already to rebatch 3 times and por any reason my soap never get melt completely no mater how much water I added. Do you know why this happend??
We made some soap about 2 something it is 5:00 and it is hard. We did a triple batch so we tripled everything. We used canola, olive oil, and coconut oil and lavender. We are worried about this. We are new at trying this. We have it in the garage and it’s hot out there
In this recipe our 45 ounces of rebatch filled our 50 ounce soap mold, so I would recommend adding about 1 ounce of shredded rebatch extra per 10 ounces to get a full mold.
Hi soap queen and anyone who can help me! 😀 im super new to this. I made some cold process about a week and a half ago, but it doesnt smell like my fragance anymore. I diluted my essential oil into carrier oil and then added it to my soap, so I’m thinkin either i didnt have to dilute my essencial oil or it needed more drops. Anyways, my real question was, can I rebatch this just now or do I need to wait the 4 to 6 weeks of curing before rebatching?
AB gale it takes a lot of eo to scent soap. if you think about it why would you put it in a carrier oil? the whole batch IS a carrier oil. I dont have sufficient $$ to use eos to scent soap. Pricey.
I've tried rebatching twice and both times failed miserably. The first was too soft and never set up after eight weeks in the mold, and the second became crumbly and left holes in the mold. I've made several dozen successful batches of cold process so I don't know why rebatching is the thing I just cannot do...
No, rebatching is different from making hot process soap. Usually you would choose to rebatch because you have left-over soap bits and pieces from some projects, or you didn't like the way a particular batch turned out. Contrary to what she said, you can start with cold-processed soap or hot-processed soap. Simply shred, melt, and spoon it into the mold.

Hi, Anne Marie, two things: One, I'm so glad to see you giving vocal instructions vs. music. You are so talented and experienced and have so much to offer new, moderate and veteran soapers. I have learned so much from you over the years and still do. Two, I still recommend goggles for your rebatch due to my unfortunate and PAINFUL experience. A few years ago I made hot process and wore goggles. After the long cook (it's now soap, you know) I didn't wear them to mold it. Tapping it down, a piece flew up and hit me in the eye: ouch times one thousand! Even well cured soap burns the eyes, plus hot process/rebatch soap is very hot so it burns your eyes twice. Thanks for another GREAT video!
I agree. Especialy hot process that (let's face it) sometimes the PH could be still high after the cooking procss. I am taking off the gloves but never the goggles and I told your story in my channel so that other soapers will do the same .
I hope you're healed up. That's good advise!!!
8:05 it looks like mashed potatoes! This video was cool, I didn't know you could rebatch soap. I'm not a soap maker but I love watching your videos.
Wow, what a lesson and this video is from two years ago, which is when I first started to experiment with soap making, body butters, etc....not at the level of CP yet, but getting there. Thank you, Annmarie, I bought your book "Pure Soapmaking". I am so busy watching your videos I haven't gotten to the book, but I will, I must. You are so informative. I have watched many other DIY videos, but I keep coming back to you. You're easy to listen to. Your illustrations are excellent. I bought a kit from you for my guy customers and it sold out!

I love these videos. They are so calming right before bed. I love her voice. Thank you! 💖
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Great video! I’ve done an alternating cut of knife, then serrated cutter. Each bar has one side smooth, and the other side is ridged.
Yay!! I love this style of video so much more than the fast 4 minute ones. Much more personal and easier to follow along with.
FYI your new style looks GREAT Anne Marie! Especially love the hair👌💕
Just made this today! super fun, but you were not kidding when you said you had a baby! It turned into a mad dash to get enough water in there and the fragrance so it wouldn't burn on our gas stove. A lot of laughs and now our house smells amazing with the daisy chain fragrance
I've been watching so many soap making videos untill I'm dreaming make soap.
I love the flowers and it is a great idea for when you need extra soap for a gift.
Yaaayyy.. Been waiting new video from you for ages 😍.
Love the new you and the set!
Thanks for thr video! I always add yogurt to my rebatch soap, same as my hot process soap cause it helps the batter a lot.
Great demonstration I really enjoyed watching!
Love rebatch! it works so great for Rustic Soaps. My fave.
I love your new Daisy Chain fragrance!
Im thankful for longer videos! I hope you decide to make them weekly like you used too.
I love her! ❤️
I love how Anne-Marie always acts like she is talking to small businesses who want to learn to make soap and not a middle school student who suddenly discovered soap making and LOVES it and is really good at it....
Cause is my case, that’s exactly who she’s talking to.
Wish your current rebatch was sheaded, but love that BB offers rebatch. Trying to get back into soapmaking after a 15 year hiatus.
Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Great video!!! loving all the butters used
Thank you so much for sharing this. I want to try a hand at soap making and this video was very informative!
Love the videos! My question..if I made a batch of cold process soap yesterday, how soon can I grate and rebatch? Wondering if I still have to wait 4-6 weeks. Thank you!
Great video, I wish you would make them more often, I always learn something new. Thanks for sharing.
We tried this and did not have the success that you showed. I wish it was as easy as you made it look!
Shauna Rabinowitz try it in a crockpot instead of the direct heat method. So much easier. And you can add additional liquid if you would like. Keeping in mind like Ann-Marie said, the more liquid, the longer it may take to get hard. And also remember that Anne-Marie is an enormously talented soap maker. So don’t get discouraged that your first attempt was not as great as hers. You can definitely use the rebatch method...you got this 😊
somehow you reminded me about Meredith Grey of the series Grey's Anatomy :D
Great...another project to start! Thank you Ann-Marie! LOL
Your hair cut looks fantastic, by the way!
Beautiful as always 😍
I love your videos, so informative!😀
This may be a silly question - does the soap you are rebatching have to go through the 4-6 curing process before you can use it for rebatching?
This almost like the only soaping I've ever done, except I shred down soap scraps to melt then whip when it's cooled some to use for the laundry.
I love it!
very nice madmazeel
I love your videos and I'm a soap maker to
Does anyone have any suggestions of melt and pour soaps that has strawberry seeds in it or any soaps that are made with a honey melt and pour base.
soap there are no melt and pour soap bases that have strawberry seeds in it. You have to add it in yourself. A lot of websites have honey melt and pour base including brambleberry

Can you rebatch soap just for color? I have a batch that of soap with fragrance that turned brown and I would like to make it lighter. What are my chances of adding titanium dioxide?
I have failed soap with many small bubble in. Could I rebatch it when the soap just made yesterday and not fully cured?
Anne Marie! Its beautiful to see your face again, thank you so much :)
Also I am about to rebatch some castile soap, wish me luck!
Rebatch soap is also made from hot process scraps.

Can I add sodium lactate to rebatch soap
Can I add liquid vegetable glycerin instead of water to make the soap more moisturizing?
I didn’t know about rebatch 😱 wonderful got to know that. So I have a question: I’ve watching a lot of videos os cold process and some soapmakers use plastic container so which is the best glass or plastic is fine ?

And by the way..what about the essential oils already added? Are they going faceted By temperature..?
Danza somática no they are not. The essential oil or fragrance oil would only be effected if you actually reach the boiling point of the essential/fragrance oil. Which would be pretty unlikely. Hope that helps 😊
Can anyone tell me if rebatch would be an acceptable solution for seized cold process soap?
Cassidy Mason rebatching is the perfect solution to a soap that seized on you. It’s really about your only option actually. There are some pretty advanced techniques you can do with a seized soap. But rebatching is definitely your best solution for a seized soap. Hope that helps 😊
Could the rebatching give smooth texture in failed soap?
I love it! What are some essential oils I can use too replace the daisy fragrance to keep the soap all natural and still smell floral?
Lisa my suggestion would be something like peony, chamomile or iris essential oils.
Hello! I am getting ready to #BrambleOn and had a question. I have an RO system (Reverse Osmosis) at home. Is this okay to use vs. Distilled water? Thank you!

Can we rebatch a hot process soap?
Yes, you can. You may need to add more water than with a cold process rebatch depending on how long it has been since you made the bars.
Ann Marie never met a fragrance she didn't love
😍

What Im curious about is how melt and pour is different than rebatching?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How old can "fresh" cold process soap be when rebatching?
You can rebatch cold process soap at any time. However, the older the soap the more water you will need to add to your batch.
O que é flor de milho?
Hi Ann Marie! This may be a stupid question, but I am new to soap making (waiting for my bramble berry order as we speak). Can you use the rebatch shreds in cold process soap to end up looking like confetti inside the soap?
Mimi's Weigh Of Life yes you can a lot of soap makers make confetti soap with their soap scraps.
Hello? Rebatch soap isn't ALWAYS made from cold processed soap. I make my rebatch soap with hot processed soap.
Me, too! My guess is that she meant that one should not try to use melt and pour products. Dunno.
Can I put the dry flowers or even ground dried fruit in the soap
Fruit could go rancid and ruin your soap, so that is not recommended. You can put flowers into the soap instead of on top, but like she said, the flowers will eventually (sometimes quickly) turn brown, so you will lose all the beautiful color. That's why she put them on top.
I have a seized batch due to accidentally adding too much sodium lactate, you think I can still rebatch it?
I don't see why not! It is definitely worth a try to see if it will fix it, rather than having to just throw away the batch.
Can I rebatch cold processed soap that i added too much activated charcoal powder to and now the bubbles are light black? It’s not bad, just unattractive when using. The soap is at 6 wks cured and I don’t want to give away as gifts because the bubbles turn a light black. Is rebatching the answer?

We used the 10" silicone loaf mold for this recipe. www.brambleberry.com/10-Silicone-Loaf-Mold--P5199.aspx
I just wonder.
If the cold process soap we use to rebatch have some essential oil, will it be evaporate?
Will we have to add essential oil again?
Anon Lee No it's normally not necessary to add extra essential oil
So I'm guessing that to deliberately make a batch of soap purely for re batching it would best not to have colour or fragrance in? Unless you want, say a pink coloured bar of soap? Also I know you mentioned it at the beginning, but if you made the original soap, say 2 days prior, then made the re batch soap, once it is unmoulded it is ready to use? Don't have to wait 4-6 weeks?

Question I want to make 4lbs so how much of the Luxury should I buy?
In this recipe our 45 ounces of rebatch filled our 50 ounce soap mold, so I would recommend adding about 1 ounce of shredded rebatch extra per 10 ounces to get a full mold.
Because the rebatch is all ready cure, this soap can be use inmediatly?
She answers this on the video
Why you don't use a whisk or manual blender?
Hi soap queen and anyone who can help me! 😀 im super new to this. I made some cold process about a week and a half ago, but it doesnt smell like my fragance anymore. I diluted my essential oil into carrier oil and then added it to my soap, so I’m thinkin either i didnt have to dilute my essencial oil or it needed more drops.

You shoud be using a soap and fragrance calculator for safety and accuracy anyway. BrambleBerry.com has a free one.
I've tried rebatching twice and both times failed miserably. The first was too soft and never set up after eight weeks in the mold, and the second became crumbly and left holes in the mold. I've made several dozen successful batches of cold process so I don't know why rebatching is the thing I just cannot do...
I've seen videos where they add Sodium Lactate. With your Luxury Rebatch Soap, you don't need to add any Sodium Lactate then?
Correct! You do not need to add sodium lactate to any of our rebatch or melt and pour bases.
Hi, did I get it right that this is basicly how to turn cold-process soap to hot-process soap, for the sake of time?
No, rebatching is different from making hot process soap. Usually you would choose to rebatch because you have left-over soap bits and pieces from some projects, or you didn't like the way a particular batch turned out. Contrary to what she said, you can start with cold-processed soap or hot-processed soap. Simply shred, melt, and spoon it into the mold.
Is there any dried flowers that shouldnt be used in soap?? I was told they all turn brown
If you soak your herbs and flowers in water overnight then add them to your batter at light trace they will not turn brown.
Tessie Dobey really! I'll definitely have to try that! Thank you
rebeccabeebe1 did you try it yet? How did it work?
The texture of my rebatch looks like brain... Can I re-rebatch??
I got 10 pounds of both types and none of it has come out great for me either lmao wondering this too. What a waste.
