Hello everyone. I'm very new to soapmaking and just wondered if someone could explain the difference between MP soap and rebatched soap. I wanted to order some soapmaking supplies from Brambleberry but not sure which to order. Thank you

MP is just that; you melt then pour into a mold.
Rebatch is made from cold process soap. It will not melt as much. It will more than likely turn gloppy at best.

They are very different. Here is a link to some info on rebatching; http://www.brambleberry.com/rebatching.html and this is melt and pour; http://www.teachsoap.com/mp.html.

Thank you Soap Buddy and Bramble Momma.

So if MP gives a nice, smooth finish why would anyone use rebatched soap ? Or does rebatched soap come from "leftover" soap that you want to use up?

Rebatch soap is made from CP soap and is different than M&P.
You can also add stuff and super-duper-fat the rebatch and add extra Essential oils and other stuff making an extra luxury bar out of regular CP. You can get it nicer than "gloppy" but it is a different texture and won't be truely smooth without some sort of expressor or "hard press" of some kind.
It sounds to me like Soap Buddy doesn't like rebatch :oops:

, but some of us do make it. ( NOT GLOPPY!)

Thank you. Sounds easy enough. I bet it is nice if you add some very moisturizing liquid of some sort. Maybe I will have to try it some time.
