This is an instructable for making jelly-like soap, that does not contain any unnatural additives that are bad for sensible skin, and which is easy to make for anyone.
Why make this instead of normal soap? Because it is fun :D
The Instructable is based on a recipe found at this blog: http://homemadebathproducts.blogspot.com/
But since we would like to share this with the users of instructables.com, we decided to make an instructable with our version of the soap :)

Signing UpStep 1Ingredients And Tools
The ingredients have been somewhat adjusted for our recipe, as we didn't want to deal with melting soap.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup clear liquid perfumefree soap
- 1 cup water (Boiling hot)
- 1-1½ tablespoon vodka (Prevents mold or fungus)
- Soap color (fruit color MIGHT also work)
- Essential oils
- 20-30g gelatine (1-2 envelopes, danish size ;) )
Tools:
- Molds, you can use anything that is not too rigid, like muffin shapes, small yoghurt cups etc.
- Measuring cup (½ or 1-cup size)
- Tablespoon for measuring
- Spoons for stirring
- 2 bowls
Suggestion: While normal soap can be kind of large without a problem, these can seem a little disgusting if they are too big. thin molds are also not recommended.
Note: We a re using other tools in the images, as they were taken while making the first batch (But gelatine really sticks to forks and the like)

If so I wonder if there would be something you could add to make them refrigeration free and a little LESS wobbley so that they could last for some time on their own in the bathroom.

Anyone else seeing this?
Which is also what propably inspired the 4chan-logo ;) Being green and all.. :P
http://www.gelatin.co.za/gltn1.html talks about gelatin bloom strength which can vary. http://www.sizes.com/units/bloom.htm is how the bloom strength is tested.
Powder gelatin does clump unless you take care to scatter it carefully over the water in an even layer. Even then you can still find spots of unhydrated gelatin.
But they work the best in warm water.
No sticky effect or coloring of the skin though...
Awesome!
The ones not shown, is a deeper mold, made of pink silicone.
It is great for baking actually, and I just realised I already posted a picture inhere with it! I used it in a comment to the "5 min chocolate cake" instructable. Here's the picture :)
