How do you make shower jelly at home?

Published in DIY Bath & Body 2 mins read

Making shower jelly at home involves using liquid soap, gelatin, and optionally, color and fragrance to create a fun and jiggly body wash. Here's a basic recipe based on the provided information:

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz liquid soap (any kind)
  • 2 packs of gelatin

Optional Ingredients:

  • Food coloring
  • Essential oils or fragrance

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Liquid Soap: Pour the 4 oz of liquid soap into a microwave-safe container. Heat it in the microwave for approximately 1 minute 30 seconds, or until it comes to a boil.

  2. Add Gelatin: Add the two packs of gelatin to the heated liquid soap. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Make sure there are no lumps.

  3. Add Optional Ingredients (if using): If you're adding color or fragrance, mix them in now. A few drops of food coloring and a few drops of your chosen essential oil or fragrance should suffice.

  4. Pour into Molds: Pour the mixture into molds. Small containers, silicone molds, or even a baking dish will work.

  5. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator for several hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the jelly to set completely.

  6. Remove from Molds: Once the shower jelly is firm, remove it from the molds. You can now use it as you would any other body wash. Simply lather it up with a sponge or washcloth.
