"And the reason you want hand milled soap is..."

In this case because it saves the batch. But generally, why would someone go to all the trouble of making cold process soap just to melt it down? Wel,l in theory... handmilled soap is hard and shiny, because the soap flakes have been compressed into each other. And sometimes you want hard and shiny. For one thing, soaps last longer when they are harder. Also, delicate scents and additives may be degraded by the cold process method, but with retain their value if added during handmilling.

So the Suka Cita is double-scented. First when I made it, then when I added more in the rebatching process. Then its rebatched with Safflower oil and Wheat Germ oil and those oils will retain their healing properties because they are still in the original form because the saponification process is already complete.

In theory because they are double made, they are more luxurious. And certainly, they take much, much more effort.

I unmolded the Handmilled Suka Cita, they came out nice, maybe a little oily but pretty and nice. I'm going to let them harden for a while and see how greasy they are at the end.
