Jelly Soap (Vegan)

Jelly soaps are so much fun and kids love them. They are jiggly, sparkly soapy fun!

  

FORMULA

225 ml  glycerin
1 TB  carrageenan iota powder
200 ml distilled/purified water
25 grams Lanthanol

Cool down phase ingredients:
25ml  Cocamidopropyl Betaine 
1 tsp optiphen (the very high % of glycerin contributes greatly to preservation in this formula)
1 tsp fractionated coconut oil or almond oil or rice bran oil
1/4 tsp essential oil or fragrance oil
1/8 tsp color powder in 1 tsp water and stir until combined

Important tips:

If the recipe does not set add 10% more carrageenan.  (Another reason why the shower jelly may not harden could be the mix was not heated to a sufficiently high temperature).

• To color, use dilute your powdered colorant in water.  Micas add sparkle to your creation.
• hand stirring can be used.   (A stick blender will create lots of foam).

Process:

1. In an empty container add the glycerin
2. Add the carrageenan into the glycerin and mix well
3. In a separate pan add distilled or deionized water and heat
4. Add the lanthanol into the water whilst mixing and heating using a stick blender
5. Add the carrageenan/glycerin mix to the lanthanol/water mix and heat to 200°F/95°C.
6. In a separate container combine the cool down phase ingredients, which are: optiphen, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, oil, fragrance
7. Let the heated mixture cool to below 140°F/60°C and before it starts to gel, add color and stir
8. Add the cool down phase ingredients, stir
9. Pour into preferable silicone molds or an ice cube mold
10. Let the shower jelly cool and set before unmoulding
11. Have fun!
