Rebatch is a technique that involves melting shredded cold process soap and customizing it with additives. This Lingonberry Rebatch Soap is made on the stove top, but you can also use a slow cooker or a double boiler. The key is low and slow heat to prevent burning.

The recipe is scented with a blend of Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil and slightly sweeter Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil. Cranberry seeds are added for exfoliation and interest. Rose hips are placed on top to give the bars a finishing touch.

If you’ve never made rebatch soap before, learn how in the Wildflower Rebatch Soap video. In both projects we use the Grated Luxury Rebatch Soap. It’s made in-house with skin-loving ingredients like cocoa butter, shea butter, and mango butter. We recommend using it within 1-2 months. Older soap will need more distilled water and it will take longer to soften.

Lingonberry Rebatch Soap

What You Need:
10″ Silicone Loaf Mold
50 oz. Grated Luxury Rebatch Soap
4-6 oz. Distilled Water
1 oz. Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil
0.5 oz. Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil
1 Tbsp. Cranberry Seeds
Rose Hips

FRAGRANCE PREP: Measure 1 ounce of Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil and 0.5 ounces of Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil into a glass fragrance oil-safe container. Set aside.

ONE: Place a large sauce pot on the stove and turn the heat onto medium. You can also use a double boiler or a slow cooker.

TWO: Add as much rebatch soap as your pot can comfortably hold – we added about 30 ounces at first. Pour in about 2 ounces of distilled water.

THREE: Allow the soap to heat up and soften. Stir every 30-60 seconds to prevent burning. After a few minutes, the soap will begin to condense into a very thick paste. Add the rest of the rebatch soap and 2-3 ounces of distilled water.

FOUR: As the soap continues to cook, it will become softer. Keep stirring every few minutes.

FIVE: Eventually the soap will take on the texture of very thick mashed potatoes with a slightly glossy look. All the small pieces of rebatch soap should be melted and incorporated.

SIX: Turn off the heat and add the fragrance oil mixture. Stir in thoroughly.

SEVEN: Add 1 tablespoon of cranberry seeds and thoroughly mix in.
NOTE: Feel free to add more seeds if you like a very scrubby bar. You can also use less.

EIGHT: Quickly transfer the soap into the mold. Tap the mold firmly on the counter to help settle the soap into the mold.

NINE: Use gloved hands to press the top of the soap to give it an even and smooth appearance.

TEN: Working quickly before the soap cools, place rose hips down the length of the mold. Place them where you’d like the middle of the bar to be.

ELEVEN: Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for 24 hours. If the mold pulls away easily from the soap, it’s ready to unmold. If not, let it harden for another day.

TWELVE: Cut into bars. Rebatch soap doesn’t require a 4-6 week cure time like cold process soap does. But allowing the bars to cure for about 2 weeks will ensure extra moisture evaporates, creating a harder and longer-lasting bar. Enjoy.

These bath bombs are made with skin-loving lingonberry seed oil and Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil. The berry design is painted on with a mixture of mica and 99% isopropyl alcohol. The end result is a festive, gift-worthy bath bomb.

The first step is making the base with the Bath Bomb Mold and Package. Once the bath bombs have dried overnight, they’re unmolded and painted. We recommend paint brushes with a small point for precision. The painting does take a steady hand and some patience, but it’s a relaxing process. It’s also a great project to do with friends, family, and kids.

Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil is a mix of apple, frozen berry, clove, and musk. It’s sure to be your new favorite scent for the holidays and beyond. It discolors tan in soap. Vanilla discoloration in bath bombs is hard to predict – sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. We haven’t noticed any discoloration in these bath bombs after about 3 weeks, but we will update the post if we do.

Lingonberry Bath Bombs

What You Need:
About 13 Bath Bomb Mold & Packages
32 oz. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)
16 oz. Citric Acid
1 oz. Lingonberry Seed Oil
0.5 oz. Polysorbate 80
9 mL Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil
Red Mica
Evergreen Mica
Super Pearly White Mica
99% Isopropyl Alcohol
Witch Hazel in a Spray Bottle

ONE: In a large container, mix together 32 ounces of baking soda and 16 ounces of citric acid. To get rid of clumps, you can push the powder through a sifter or break them up with your fingers. Citric acid has a tendency to take off nail polish, so wear gloves to protect your manicure. Thoroughly stir the ingredients together.

TWO: Add 1 ounce of lingonberry seed oil, 0.5 ounces of polysorbate 80, and 9 mL of Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil to the powder.

THREE: Use your hands to thoroughly mix in the wet ingredients.

FOUR: Test the consistency of the bath bomb mixture. The perfect consistency for molding is similar to wet sand and holds its shape when squeezed. If it’s too dry, use one hand to spritz the mixture with witch hazel and one to mix. Continue spritzing until the mixture holds its shape when squeezed.

FIVE: Fill the two halves of the molds, gently pressing the bath bomb mixture in each so they hold their shape. Mound a little extra in the center of each half of the molds. Wipe away any mixture in the seams of the mold, match the eyelets of each side up, and press together. Make sure to direct pressure to the edges of the mold rather than the center. Continue filling up the bath bomb molds until the mixture is gone.

SIX: Allow the bath bombs to harden in the mold for at least 24 hours. Remove the bath bomb from the mold to ensure it’s completely hard. Before painting the bath bomb, you want to make sure it’s fairly durable.

SEVEN: In three small separate containers, mix about 1/2 teaspoon of Red Mica, 1/2 teaspoon of Evergreen Mica, and 1/2 teaspoon of Super Pearly White Mica with about 1/2 tablespoon of 99% isopropyl alcohol. Mix thoroughly until smooth. The consistency of the mica paint is up to you. If you want a more saturated color, add a touch more mica. If you want a thinner, less saturated mixture, add more 99% isopropyl alcohol. Test the consistency on a paper towel or piece of paper.

EIGHT: Using a small paint brush, create three circles in the center of the bath bomb using the Red Mica mixture.

NINE: Using a small paint brush, paint a leaf using the Evergreen Mica mixture.

TEN: Finally, use a small paint brush to add small dots on the berries and lines on the leaves. This step really makes the design pop.

ELEVEN: Continue painting until all the bath bombs are decorated. Allow the bath bombs to fully dry. When you’re ready to use, drop them into a hot bath and enjoy. If you’re giving them as gifts, place them back into their mold – it doubles as packaging!

This Lingonberry Spice Soap has a rustic-chic look that’s perfect for the holidays and beyond. The bars have a white base and activated charcoal pencil lines. To make the top look festive, there are rose hips and dried leaves.

It’s scented with Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil, which is a comforting mix of apple, cedarwood, lemon, balsam fir, cinnamon, and mountain air. It’s a part of the new Hygge Collection. Click here to explore all the new products, which include oils, packaging, and fragrances.

Of course, how the soap feels is just as important. The recipe is made with new lingonberry seed oil, which has a silky and lightweight texture on the skin. The soap also features skin-loving shea butter and cocoa butter.

Due to the large amount of titanium dioxide, the recipe has a 15% water discount to prevent glycerin rivers. The slow-moving oils keep the soap workable, but be ready to work quickly.

Lingonberry Spice Cold Process Soap

Course Cold process

Cook Time 1 hour hour

Total Time 1 hour hour

Ingredients

• 5 Pound Mold with Sliding Bottom
• Silicone Liner for 5 Pound Wood Mold
• 2.8 oz. Shea Butter 5%
• 7 oz. Canola Oil 12.6%
• 1.1 oz. Castor Oil 2%
• 2.8 oz. Deodorized Cocoa Butter 5%
• 14 oz. Coconut Oil 25.1%

• 15.6 oz. Distilled Water 15% water discount
• 3 oz. Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil
• Titanium Dioxide
• Activated Charcoal
• Rose Hips
• Dried Leaves

Instructions

FRAGRANCE PREP: In a glass container, measure out 3 ounces of Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil and set aside.

SAFETY FIRST: Suit up for safe handling practices. That means goggles, gloves, and long sleeves. Make sure kids, pets, other distractions, and tripping hazards are out of the house or don’t have access to your soaping space. Always soap in a well-ventilated area.

• Slowly and carefully add 7.8 ounces of lye to 15.6 ounces of distilled water. Gently stir until the lye has fully dissolved. Set it aside to cool. If you’d like a harder bar of soap that releases faster from the mold, you can add sodium lactate to the cooled lye water. Use 1 teaspoon of sodium lactate per pound of oils in the recipe. For this recipe, you’d add 3.5 teaspoons sodium lactate.
• Melt and combine 2.8 ounces of shea butter, 7 ounces of canola oil, 1.1 ounces of castor oil, 2.8 ounces deodorized cocoa butter, 14 ounces of coconut oil, 2.8 ounces of lingonberry seed oil, 14 ounces of palm oil (remember to fully melt then mix your entire container of palm oil before portioning), and 11.2 ounces of sunflower oil into a large mixing bowl. Add 4 teaspoons of titanium dioxide into the oils and use the stick blender to mix in the colorant thoroughly. Make sure there are no clumps.
• Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 130 degrees F or below (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend the mixture to a thin trace.
• Add 3 ounces of Lingonberry Spice Fragrance Oil. Use the stick blender to stir in the fragrance and pulse sparingly.
• Once the soap is thick enough to support layers on top, spoon ¼ of it (about 20 ounces) into the mold. Tap down, and use a small spoon to create peaks and divots down the length of the mold.
• Very carefully, spoon a small amount of activated charcoal into the powder duster. Then, use your finger to gently “tap” the duster, allowing a small amount of powder to fall onto the soap. Working quickly but carefully, cover the soap with a thin layer of charcoal.
• Use a spoon or spatula to plop another 20 ounces of soap into the mold, covering the charcoal layer below completely. Use a spoon to smooth out the layer and create peaks and divots. Lightly cover this layer of soap with activated charcoal.
• Repeat this process with another 20 ounces of soap, and one more layer of activated charcoal.
• Plop the remaining soap into the mold. Use a large spoon to evenly distribute the soap and create a smooth top.
• Use a fork to create texture from one side of the mold to the other width-wise until you have covered the complete length of the mold.
• Place dried rose hips in the center of the mold. Place them where you want the center of your bars to be. Where you place the rose hips will decide how big you’d like the bars. Then, place 1-2 myrtle leaves next to the rose hip.
• Spritz the top with 99% isopropyl alcohol to prevent soda ash. If you live in a very hot climate, place the soap in the fridge or freezer for several hours to prevent gel phase. If not, the soap can stay on the counter uncovered.
• Allow the soap to stay in the mold for 2-3 days. Unmold, and cut into bars. Clean up the activated charcoal lines if necessary. Allow them to cure for 4-6 weeks and enjoy.
