What do you do with your messed up soaps?

[shunt2011]

I had quite a few failures when I started. Every once in awhile I have something go awry but that just keeps me level headed and reminds me just because I've made hundreds of batches not to get complacent.

From something Carolyn said on another thread, I think she adds activated charcoal and oatmeal. C, if you see this and I am wrong, please correct/add, I would love to know exactly what you do, too. Her comment there made me rethink my approach to rebatching ("hm, rebatch, or make a new, pretty soap? OK, trash can for you, bad, ugly soap.")

You are correct, I am just not telling how much Oatmeal I use. People love the silly things and they are ugly as sin
Oh talking about goofs and failures remember I recently made a big goof making my camel milk soap, and that is expensive soap to make. As a side note, the charcoal has absorbed some of the large amount of superfat:smile: Think they will make it after a couple months cure. Oh yes, and there is the second batch of camel milk soap and all my friendly forum members failed to mention petitgrain is so strong. Now I have a very strong batch of petitgrain, patchouli and sweet orange. When a scent is strong to me it means it is super strong. Please tell me petitgrain mellow. I don't hate it but it is extremely strong, cannot believe I could not smell it out of the bottle. LOL, my camel milk soaps are driving me crazy

It's an honest answer regardless.

I'd say a fairly large closet would be more accurate.

I use the oats for exfoliation and I've found it helps when working with dirts and oils
