Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups baking soda
  • 1 cup corn starch Can substitute with arrowroot powder

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup liquid soap (non-toxic) Ensure it is suitable for skin contact
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Food coloring (your choice of colors)
  • Essential oils (optional, for added fragrance) Consider lavender or citrus options

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spoon or whisk
  • 1 Airtight container for storage

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda and corn starch. Stir together gently to ensure no lumps remain.
  • In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the liquid soap and water. Add drops of food coloring and a few drops of your chosen essential oils, if using.
  • Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir continuously to avoid clumps; the mixture should start to clump together.
  • When the mixture is too thick to stir, use your hands to knead the dough. If it’s too crumbly, add a tiny bit of water; if too sticky, add a sprinkle of baking soda.
  • Once a smooth consistency is achieved, mold the dough into shapes or store it in an airtight container. Allow it to dry for a few hours for firmer shapes, if desired.

Notes

Experiment with layering different colors or blending them for unique shades. Try various essential oils for different scents. Store in an airtight container for freshness and use within a month.
