               Gel
               Rosewater or herbal tea, 3/4cup_______same
               unscented shower gel, 1/2 cup_________same
               table salt, 1 1/2 tsp.________________same
               Knox Gelatin, 2 single packets________same
               Jojoba Oil, 2 tsp.______________( Calendula Infused Oil2
               tsp.)

               Step 1.  Warm the Rosewater/herbal tea and pour into a bowl.
               Step 2.   Add the unscented shower gel and stir with a wire
               whisk until blended.
               Step 3.   Add the salt, jojoba/Calendul oil and essential oil(s) of
               your choice and stir until well blended. I tried the recipe in two
               ways. One I mixed the gelatin in with the water while it was
               warming and then added the other ingredients stirring with a
               wire whisk until blended. I then placed the bowl of soap in the
               refrigerator and checked it periodically stirring it good when I
               did. This gel needed to be thinned a bit after it had "set" but
               had a smooth consistency. To thin you could use more: floral
               water or unscented shower gel. You can also use a variety of
               floral waters, carrier and or infused oils, and essential oils to
               get different effects. The other, I mixed the powdered gelatin
               in with all the other ingredients blending well and again
               refrigerating and checking on it periodically. Again, it is good
               to stir when you are checking. I found this one to have little gel
               "grains" in it and it was a little fluffier it also did not need to be
               thinned in my opinion. This one I preferred for body scrub and
               bubble bath. I added my EO's to the individual small containers
               of soap for each family member according to the 15 drops per
               1oz. rule (give or take a few drops). I also found if you whip
               this stuff enough you will get a fluffy soap that has a
               consistency similar to cool whip--the kids enjoy this! My
               daugher enjoyed the soap with Sweet Orange and Rose
               Absolute EO's in a bubble bath, my husband used it as a
               shampoo and body scrub with Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, and
               Lemon EO's, and I used it as a shampoo/body scrub with
               Jasmine, Lemon, and Lavender EO's.
