Milling or rebatching soap is the process used to turned already made soap into nice more decorative soap. First take your existing soap and shred it up. This can be done easily with a cheese grater. Then put all of your soap shavings into a bag, along with a very small amount of liquid (water, milk, etc.) The bag then goes into a pot of simmering water and is allowed to slowly melt over the course of an hour or two. You may consider double bagging the soap just incase.

Now that it’s melted, you can carefully unzip the bag and add in any other ingredients you may want such as scenting oils, or herbs. Re-zip the bag and using your hands work the additions though the entire soap mixture. You can now pour your soap into decorative molds or whatever container you wish.
