Rebatching, refined afriacan black soap.

[NatNat]

Hi all.
I have bought some refined African black soap.
(It looks like a brick) I’ve tried melting it in a broiler. No joy. I’ve microwaved it, it didn’t melt, just smoked and stank the house out. How do I melt it down so I can pour it? Ive Heard it’s hard to melt but this just seems impossible. I don’t want to make liquid soap, I would just like to rebatch it into my own bars of soap.
TIA for any advice.

You can grate it into small bits with a grater and add that to new soap batter, much like confetti soap. That may be the only way, or at least the easiest way to rebatch this soap if it that un-melty.

See this thread: How do I rebatch African black soap? Recipes please??

That’s a good idea! Thankyou!

How did it turn out for you? I also have some ABS that I want to transform into a bar to help with my marks.
