Can you melt this soap and add other ingredients?

Of course! Any soap can be rebatched; this one is no exception and rebatching and straining will get rid of any extraneous material not intended to be there, for example, insufficiently burned plant fibers, sand, pebbles, etc. I have also added it to whole recipes of cold-processed soap with great results.

It can be re-melted and divided, but consistency changes. I was not happy with this product at all and it did not behave like pure soap that we make, either in storage or re-batch. It molds and changes consistency and/or texture. In my experience, best best is to cut it only and use it quickly. Did not hold up well to normal soap storage in a lump or cut.

Yes, it produces soap foam that does not melt. I live in Jacksonville FL, we normally have mild winters. The "snow" produced during my show the previous night is usually their until the next afternoon. The only thing that melts it, is rain.

I am afraid I haven't used it to make soap. Not something I would have thought of, but it is a strong immersion blender and the moving parts are washable, so I can't see why you wouldn't try it for a small amount. It's not of commercial strength.

I don't see why not- I would just mix the formula first completely and then add the breastmilk and mix a bit more. You won't regret buying this- it really comes in handy!

The actual answer is yes you can, but it wouldn't be as helpful. This is already a creamy soap, I've used it before without a brush, it just doesn't work into as great a lather.

Yes, all that you have to do is melt in the microwave, add fragrance and color and pour into your molds. I like to use flexible molds as when the soap hardens it is hard to get out of rigid molds. This makes great gifts. Enjoy! PS I wrap the soaps in clear plastic wrap and tie with ribbons.

You need a brush to get it to lather I really don't thing you could get the benefit of using this by using any other method to get this soap to lather.

You should be able to add a couple of drops to your soap recipe. The key is to not use too much because your soap will not set properly.

No I have never used it for making soap, however I do know that it is used as a by product in soap. I will see if I can find a recipe. I use it as my oil base to cook all my food, sauter veggies, creme my skin and moisturize my hair.

I am very sorry that I cannot help you with this problem. I have only made soap once and it was only about five months ago. Sorry

Yes, it can!! You can soak the block in warm to hot water(break off the amount you want) until it turns into to a liquid form and than you should be able to pour any other substances you want to create your soap. Hope my advice help, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask :-) God bless you my sista!

I haven't tried that. It recommends putting hot water and soap in the container and running it on high for 1 min. That is what I do. If something real thick I do it 2 or 3 times.

I think there are instructions on the package but I put it in a plastic bowl and microwaved it for 30 seconds on high, stirred it and repeated until it was melted. Cleanup was easy since it is soap. You could probably also do it on a stove but I'm not sure of the timing.

I don't think so! I agree with John Farago. BTW, I use mine to melt melt & pour soap and it's great! I tried to make custard with a new one, and it really stuck to the bottom. You should really find a cute little Bain Marie or double boiler that has a non-stick coating to cook anything that will stick. Hope this helps you! Another BTW: -- that is a good price!! When I was first looking for a double boiler I saw one for $85 or more, then I bought one from a small cookware company (can't remember the name) which was around the price for this.
