How do you make soaps from soap noodles?

In: Sanitization and Germs, Chemistry, Soaps and Detergents [Edit categories]

Answer:

Soap noodles are essentially already soap, which has been shredded or ground and pushed through an extruder dye and cut into "noodles".

The soap noodles need only to be reheated with a bit of liquid added to facilitate the melting of it. Once the mixture resembles thick mashed potatoes, you would add fragrance, colour, botanicals, etc, and then scoop the mix into a mold (either lined wooden mold, silicone, heavy plastic, etc)

Once the soap mixture has cooled completely, it can be unmolded and it is ready to use immediately. There is no curing required for soap noodles, however, depending on how much liquid was added to melt the noodles, you may want to let the soap sit to further evaporate any excess liquid.
