For those who use "harsh" soaps to wash, here's a little tip on what to do with those "unusable" little bits in the shower.
a) Soak them for a few hours in (cold) water
b) Once they are well softened, compress them by hand or using a mold (for "pros").
c) Let it dry for a few hours (in the sun it goes faster). Here you have a new soap
d) Use the decoction obtained to do the housework or a washing (it is quite sticky)
Alternative: you can rap them in small pieces and use them in the washing machine directly.
Pictures follow!
If you have other ideas ...
Recycling or using small pieces of soap!

Yes for the technique of bonding on new soap, I also tested but it does not always hold up well!
There are no small savings
I wash exclusively with hard soaps so ... in the end it saves roughly 1 in 10 ...

hi Christophe
It is much easier to:
Reduce the pieces of soap powder, glitter.
Use as is.
All purpose!
hence saving time in soaping
Goodbye

I've been reading you for a long time, but there I could bring you things: redoing a soap with the little bits, it's easy, but it's still industrial soap (petroleum-based, without vegetable glycerine) also palm-based.
But you can make your soap without heating, with local oils. Soap is just an oil (or fat) soda reaction. There are precautions to be taken, it is necessary to dose, allow time for the soap to be done alone, but in the end you have a product:
no dirty stuff like EDTA, sodium laureth sulfate, glycerin from petroleum etc
palm oil free since you choose your oils
a 5% surgras allows you to have a hydrated skin that does not pull. this soap is a complete care in itself.
Personally, I dissolve the soda in milk (mare, local product, or goat) or sea water for mineral salts. If you are interested, I can give you my "tips".

Yes and no
Aleppo soap is a controlled designation, with olive oil and bay laurel. the percentage of bay laurel (very expensive by the way) will determine the price. it goes from 15 to 70% sometimes. Manufacturing in hot tanks is different from cold saponification.
when cold, it is the exothermic liquid soda reaction that will give the energy. no need to heat. And when cold, the glycerin produced by the reaction remains in the soap. about 8%. This is what moisturizes the skin and is lacking in industrial soap: it "pulls" on the skin, it dries it.
