Hello everybody! I hate throwing things away, hence my zero waste lifestyle. I especially dislike throwing things away if they are somewhat useful to me, so what I have been doing for the past year, is saving small pieces of soap which were too small to actually use, but hey, they were still soap. I use shampoo bars to save the plastic packaging, so when the bar is too small and fragile to use I’ll save it for a re-melt later on. I’ll show you know how I make my own franken-soap using small pieces of discarded shampoo bars.
Step 1: Take all your small pieces of soap and grate them so they’ll form a weird, but cohesive, mass.
Step 2: Pour the gratings into a pot and melt on a very low temperature. You’ll want to add a few tablespoons of water for the mass to stick together. Let the soap melt together for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3: Pour the melted soap into a tin or a mold and let it completely set. The drying process will take about 24 hours, give or take – so place it somewhere dry.
Step 4: After 24 hours, take it out of the tin/mold. It will possibly stick a bit to the surface, so I used a butter knife to loosen the edges. Now you can use it as a regular hand soap – or as a conditioner or shampoo bar. Easy-freaking-peasy.

I’m so glad you Mentioned this on your YouTube channel ! I have been saving soap scraps for three or maybe 4 years already. I even brought them with me when I moved. This is easy so no more excuses. I’m totally going to do this. Thank you so much for sharing Gittemary
