How To Make Natural Irish Moss Shower Jellies
The beady eyed amongst you will know this was one of our most successful #MakeItMondays of last year. This months make of the month are these brilliant Natural Irish Moss Shower Jellies. A fantastic vegan recipe and the center of our advertising campaign this month. You can customise them with your own colours and scents, but however you do they'll still be wicked fun.
What You'll Need:
• 2 Heatproof/Microwave safe Jugs
• Measuring Utensils
• Whisk Suitable Silicone Mould (We used a small cupcake Mould)
• 2 Pipettes
Ingredients:
• 150g Melt & Pour Soap Base
• 250g Deionised Water (Can used Distilled)
• 1 Tsp Carrageen Powder AKA Irish Moss
• Green Liquid Colour Fragrance or Essential Oil
How To Make:
Step 1
Chop the melt and pour soap into small pieces and place them into the microwave safe jug then set aside. For our Jellies, I used White SLS Free.
Step 2
Using your other jug, pour in the deionised water and heat for 20 seconds in the microwave to warm the water.
Step 3
Once you have your warm water, stir in 1tsp of Carrageen powder. Use your whisk to remove any lumpy bits. Heat the mix again for another 20 seconds and set aside
Step 4
Grab your jug of diced melt and pour soap and place in the microwave. Heat this in 30-second bursts until the soap has fully melted.
Step 5
Once melted, pour the soap into the water and Carrageen mixture and give it a thorough stir.
Step 6
Using a pipette, add 2-3 drops of fragrance. For my Jellies, I used Lime.
Step 7
Using another Pipette, add 3 drops of liquid colour to the mix and give it a stir. Keep adding a few drops until you achieve the colour you want. I used Green liquid colour.
Step 8
You should have a finished Jelly Mixture all you need to do now is pour it into the moulds.
Step 9
Leave to set overnight! Then get squishy with it!
We hope you've enjoyed our first #MakeItMonday of the month! These shower jellies are a load of fun and if you make them we would love to see a picture!
