LuminousBoutique Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 yeah thats why I made mini ones... totally single use kinds of things. I didnt add any FO to mine, thats an option of course... the kid ones smelled just like baby wash because thats the soap I used for those, the adult ones I made with my handmade liquid soap didnt really smell like anything. I wouldnt add more than 2-4% to start, and test the strength. I'm not sure about the water separation.. could be anything. I've really only tested it with the baby wash and my handmade soap. With the johnsons, when I try it again, I'm going to reduce the water... because it has a higher water content than say a thick body wash might.

CareBear Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 gelatin and agar can be touchy things. I don't know much about working with them but know that pH is important, as is temp. But what the ideal ranges are for either I couldn't tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatRaceParticipant Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks like a fun activity for the fam. We're going to try this with wsps soap and a shot of foam booster because I like lbubbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmom1 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 hi,i was wondering if anyone ever tried this with agar-agar? from what i read about agar, it seems it would stay solid at room temp, which would be a plus. and did anyone do anything else with it? tried a preservative?eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Dee* Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I found thisAn alternative source of gelatin substitutes could be natural gel sources such as agar-agar (a seaweed), carrageenan, pectin, or konjak. However, alternative sources can be associated with health problems of their own (see for instance health concerns regarding carrageenan).[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisasoaps Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have been wanting to try this recipe using agar powder but the price20 oz~$31.37 *faint*For a firm jelly you require approximately 2 teaspoons of powder per 1 pint of liquid. Might need to do a co-op. Anyone interested if the price is right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnstuff Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I use a cheap vodka in mine as a preservative. I do still keep it in the fridge because just reaching in the jar with warm wet hands would be bad plus the cold jello soap feels great in the summer.

CareBear Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 with vodka as a preservative, it reminds me of college...jello shots - mmmmmmmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
