Soap Jelly Recipe

Why do childrenhate cleaning themselves so much? Showers, teeth brushing, hair combing — it’s like torture to little kids. I am constantly asking my kids, “Did you wash your hands?” “WITH soap?” And then they slink back into the bathroom to wash properly. Little buggers. I think I may have found a way to make hand washing less of a chore. These homemade jelly soaps are like washing with jello, all wiggly and wobbly. They are great fun and not hard at all to make.

To make jelly soap, you really only need two ingredients: liquid soap and gelatin. In addition to those ingredients you can add food coloring, scented oils, glitter, or even small toys. You can set the jelly soap in molds or in jars, both will work.

I chose to use scented soap and food coloring and a heart-shaped mold, but you can make different choices. I will add a list of the ingredients I used towards the end of this post.

These little soaps are so fun. They have the same feel as jello jigglers in your hand. DO NOT eat them. I feel like I have been saying that a lot this week.

I think these little heart soaps would make fantastic classroom Valentine gifts. Package them up in little favor tins like these to keep them clean and fresh.

I also had a silicone mold from IKEA on hand, so I tried it out as well. The soaps are a little thicker, but they set up just as well.

And, yes, these are real, functional soaps! You can’t get much foam out of them, but itcreates a decent amount of lather when you rub one between wet hands. I know my kids are going to love these! They should be able to get a few hand-washings out of each heart-shaped soap, and one or two showers out of the larger cube soaps.

If you choose to create the jelly soap in a jar, you will end up with a jar full of jello-y soap. Just reach in a grab a chunk of jelly soap whenever you need to wash. NOTE: Jars of jelly soap may need more than two hours in the fridge to fully set up.

You don’t need to refrigerate these soaps unless your home is very warm, but I would recommend keeping the soaps you aren’t using in an airtight container. They get a little goopy when exposed to humidity.

Homemade Soap Jellies: A Fun Addition To Bathtime

We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it.OkHave you used jelly soap before? It cleanses just like regular soap, except it’s wiggly, jiggly and guaranteed to entertain. The fun texture is perfect for kids. They’ll love the way it bounces all over the table. Although I have to admit,  all the adults in our office had a lot of fun with it too. =)

These Shimmery Summer Soap Jellies use water soluble LabColors to create warm yellow, orange and red colors. They have a bit of sparkle from Fine Iridescent Glitter,  and Summer Fling Fragrance Oil is added to complete the summery theme.

Once melted, the texture of the Stephenson Jelly Melt and Pour Base is much thicker than regular melt and pour soap. The texture is rather gloppy, and bubbles do not rise to the surface. To help avoid excess bubbles, stir the base as little as possible. The base also requires a little bit more time to melt. To use the soap, break off a small piece and lather it on a washcloth or loofah. We have heard of some soapers freezing the soap to make it harder and easier to handle. In our tests, the soap stayed soft and jiggly even after being frozen.

Jelly soap! This was made with the Stephenson Jelly Soap Base, which will be available on Bramble Berry soon =) It's so fun! A post shared by Bramble Berry (@brambleberry) on Jul 20, 2015 at 4:03pm PDT

DILUTING LABCOLOR: You’ll need to dilute your LabColors in order to use them in this project. We like diluting the small bottle of LabColor in 4 oz. of distilled water. For more on diluting LabColors, check out this blog post.

ONE: Cut the Stephenson Jelly Melt and Pour into small pieces. Place in a large heat safe container and melt using 1 minute bursts. This melt and pour base takes a little longer to melt than regular melt and pour soap, so longer bursts are needed. Keep stirring between each burst but only a few times; jelly soap has a tendency to create bubbles. Because the soap base is so thick, the bubbles do not rise to the top like regular melt and pour bases. Once melted, remove from the microwave. The base will be thick.

TWO: Add the Summer Fling Fragrance Oil and glitter. Gently stir to thoroughly incorporate. Stirring gently and slowly will help prevent air bubbles.

THREE: Split the large batch into three separate containers, each weighing about 10.6 oz. The base will start to cool and thicken, this is fine. If necessary, place the containers back into the microwave and heat using 20 second bursts until the melt and pour base is thinner and more workable. Remember, it will always be a little bit thicker than normal melt and pour bases. =) To one container, add 1 mL of diluted Fuchsia Labcolor and gently stir to combine the color. Pour the pink soap into 3 cavities of the mold, filling each about 3/4 full. Oxides are more challenging to use in this soap base.

FOUR: To another container of soap, mix in 2 mL of diluted Canary LabColor and pour into three cavities of the mold. In another container, mix in 2 mL of the diluted Orange LabColor and pour into three cavities of the mold. Because the soap is so thick, spraying the top with 99% isopropyl alcohol is not needed. The alcohol does not work very well to disperse bubbles. Allow the soap to fully cool and harden for several hours. Gently remove from the mold.

Step By Step Guide Of Making Jelly Melt And Pour Soap Base At Home

During our tests, we found this base was fairly resistant to glycerin dew. Our soap was left in the open for a week and did not form glycerin dew. But to be on the safe side, I recommend wrapping the soap in plastic wrap to keep them in tip-top shape. Learn more about storing your soap here. To use, tear off a small piece of the soap and work it into a lather with a loofah, washcloth or sponge. Some like to freeze soap jellies to harden the product. In our tests, we found that placing the Stephenson Jelly Soap Base did not produce a completely hard soap; it was still quite wiggly and soft.

If you’ve never heard of soap or shower jellies, I’m happy to introduce you to them today. Lush started carrying a line of shower jelliesand others began to follow suit. Just the other day I saw that Bath and Body Works has started advertising their own line.

Diy Jelly Soap!

The Homemade Jelly Soap recipe I’m sharing today can either be used for hand soap or body wash. I opted for hand soap, but if you’d like to use it as body wash, you can just substitute they type of soap you use in your recipe.

Jelly soap actually works quite well in the shower, because you can put smaller pieces of the jelly soap in loofahs and sponges, and it really helps create more suds and bubbles.

Kids tend to love jelly soap, but please use with caution around younger children. Jelly soap looks a lot like JELL-O but it’s not to be eaten. If you have smaller kids in the house you may want to save this recipe for later. And no matter what the age, if you make this soap, make sure you tell your family members what it is. Because it keeps best in the fridge, you’ll not want any accidental “tastings” by anyone in your home. Got it? Good.
