Soap Jellies
Servings: 12+ | Time: 10 minutes active; 1–2 hours inactive | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients & Supplies:
- 2 Tbsp. unflavored gelatin (about 2–3 small packets)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) distilled water
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Castile Soap
- 30 drops essential oil (lavender, melaleuca, lemon, orange, and peppermint are good options)
- Body-safe soap coloring (optional) (a drop or two of blue tansy essential oil is a natural way to get a nice blue color)
- 1 tsp. (6 g) salt
- Silicone mold or small soap mold
- Small Spray Bottle of alcohol (optional)
- 16 oz. PET Jar
Instructions:
- Place mold on a cutting board or cookie sheet or another flat, movable surface.
- Place water in a pan, and sprinkle the gelatin on the water. Allow gelatin to bloom for 5 minutes; then bring the water to a boil to dissolve the gelatin.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and add the castile soap, coloring, and essential oils. Stir gently until combined.
- Stir in the salt last. (Don’t skip this step! It makes a big difference!)
- Pour the mixture into your molds.
- You can get rid of air bubbles by spritzing the soap with a little alcohol from a small spray bottle.
- Place in the refrigerator until completely hardened.
- Store in a PET Jar in a cool, dry location (such as the refrigerator) for up to 1 week.
