It is much more advantageous to buy soap bar than shower gel, you will agree. This one is more economical, lasts much longer and in the majority of cases, is much milder for the skin.

The only problem is when you have almost finished the soap.

There are always broken pieces that we do not know what to do. Instead of throwing them away, we suggest recycling them into a new soap. You can also use this method with candle wax. Fantastic, isn’t it?

Here is what you will need:

  • Soap leftover
  • Mold shaper

Steps:

  • Cook in the double boiler with a large saucepan and a smaller one. You can also use a bowl.
  • Put all your leftover soap on a low heat. Let them melt.
  • Once they are made liquid, put them in a mold.
  • Let it cool down. To speed up the process of your new soaps, put it in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • Unmold your soaps.

 

You can also test this method with the candles

  • Take the wax and remove the wick.
  • Melt remaining wax in a bain-marie. Add drops of essential oil to perfume your wax.
  • Once the wax is melted, pour it into a container (a candle jar or a cup, for example).
  • Add the wick.
