Serves: 18
- ¾ cup water
- 4½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin (2 7g packages) See notes for amount
- ½ liquid castile soap or bath gel
- 1 teaspoons honey
- 10-15 drops of a safe essential oil, optional
- colorant, optional
- spray bottle of rubbing alcohol/water mixture, optional
- molds
- Heat water to boiling. Turn off heat and whisk in the gelatin until dissolved.
- Add the liquid soap and stir.
- Add the honey and essential oil and colorant, if using. Stir.
- Scrape off as much of the foam/bubbles as you can and set to the side.
- Pour (or using a tablespoon measuring spoon) mixture into the molds.
- If the small bubbles on the top of the molds bother you, spray with the alcohol mixture.
- Put in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (or overnight), until set completely.
- Carefully remove from molds and store in the refrigerator.
- Use in the shower as you would soap or body gel.
If it is summer and your house is warm, increase the gelatin to 3 packages (5¾ teaspoons). This will help it not "melt" as quickly.
