Packing and shipping Jelly Soap

[mhawk85]

I made some Jelly soaps today and wanted to send them to a buddy of mine. They seem solid enough I dont have to keep them in the fridge but i have no clue how to mail them and making sure they hold on.

What do you mean by hold on? I just put them in a jar with a screw on lid. Make absolutely sure that they will no longer melt or turn too mushy. They must be firm even after a few days out of the fridge (I am assuming you used a preservative). I am also assuming you made slabs like bar soap or larger and did not cut it up. I'm not really sure what other type of container you could use other than a jar with a screw lid or a tight snap lid.

I just keep hearing that they need to be stored in the refrigerator. The ones made do just fine sitting by the shower. But people scared me

I make them in containers that they can live in. You squeeze it and the soap pops out

Neat!

 

[mhawk85]

Thanks

Did you use a preservative or the vodka?

 

[mhawk85]

Nope. Why?

 

[houseofwool]

Because with the extra water and gelatin, you may get nasties growing.

Your soap is just beautiful! How does a person make it so clear and soft, yet solid?

I had never heard of it either, so I hit Google:

This would be something fun to make for children, and maybe have them help with the not-so-dangerous parts. They could pick the colors and fragrances, then take them home at the end of the day.

There is a company now that makes the jelly soap base which is preserved and can be sold. Lush came out with jelly soap several years ago

I get 2 uses out of mine with no waste and my kids love them. It better small since I dont use vodka in them. But for the ones I plan to sell I will add the alcohol
