Soft slime (fluffy slime) is a slime variant that is softer, lighter, and fun to play with or knead. While most people recommend that you use glue to make them, there are many ways to make these toys with other materials. This slime doesn't last as long as other types, but it can be made with a few ingredients you can find at home!

Step
Method 1 of 3: Making Slime with Shampoo and Maizena
Step 1. Put 120 ml of shampoo in a bowl
Choose a shampoo that smells good and is not too runny. Measure the shampoo's weight carefully, then put it in a bowl.
- You can also use a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, or a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. As long as the ingredients used are shampoo, you can turn it into slime!
- If you don't want the shampoo to contaminate the measuring cup, just pour it straight into the bottle. If later the slime is not soft, you can add shampoo or cornstarch until the texture is just right.
Step 2. Put 240 ml of shaving cream in a bowl
Shake the can of shaving cream to get more foam out. Point the tip of the sprayer at the measuring cup, then spray until the foam comes out. Scoop the foam into a bowl and mix it with the shampoo.
Make sure you use shaving cream, not shaving lotion. The cream should be soft and foamy so that the slime you make is also soft
Step 3. Use food coloring or essential oils to customize the slime
Shampoo and shaving cream will produce a pale or white mixture. If you want your slime to be lighter in color and more interesting, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and mix well. If you want to change the scent, just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil!
Adding more food coloring will make the slime stand out and look cool. If you want a lighter pastel color, just use a drop or two
Step 4. Mix 30 grams of cornstarch to thicken the slime
Measure the weight of the cornstarch used, then put it in a bowl. Use a wooden spoon or similar object to stir all the ingredients in the bowl until it thickens and turns into a slime-like texture.
You may need to use more cornstarch to achieve the desired texture. Start by adding 30 grams, then add more as needed
Step 5. Add 80 ml of water gradually by pouring 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of water several times
Pour 80 ml of water into a separate bowl. Use a tablespoon to take the water and put it into the slime mixture, then stir until well blended. Repeat this process 4 to 5 times until all the water is mixed into the dough.
The amount of water added with a spoon doesn't have to be accurate. If you don't want to use a spoon, slowly sprinkle some water into the bowl
Step 6. Crush the slime for 5 minutes by hand. Remove the slime from the bowl and place it on a clean, flat surface. Use your hands to knead the slime while stretching and rolling it back. After 5 minutes, the toy should be soft enough and workable!
- If the slime is still too sticky, add the cornstarch, then knead the mixture over the ingredients. Repeat this process until you get the desired texture.
- If you want to make the slime more interesting, crush the toy with polystyrene balls or glitter. This will give the slime a "crispy" texture, and make it look cooler.
Step 7. Store the slime in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days
When you're done playing with the object, collect any fallen debris or debris. Store slime in an airtight container or bag that can be opened and closed for 3 days. After a few days, the toy will lose its texture and become too sticky to play with.
Method 2 of 3: Making Soft Frozen Slime
Step 1. Put 60 ml of thick shampoo in an antifreeze bowl
For the slime to be perfect, you need a thick shampoo. Put the shampoo in a bowl.
- A thick shampoo will make the slime softer and more supple. For best results, use a very thick shampoo.
- You can use a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 product as long as it contains shampoo.
Step 2. Put 240 ml of shaving cream in a bowl
Point the tip of the shaving cream sprayer at the measuring cup, then press until the foam comes out. Keep spraying until there is enough foam, then put it in the bowl of shampoo. Use a wooden spoon or similar object to stir the two ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Shake the can of shaving cream for a few seconds before use.
- Make sure you use shaving cream or foam, not aerosol shaving lotion. The lighter and softer the shaving cream is, the softer your slime will be!
Step 3. Add 3 grams of table salt to make the slime more pliable
Table salt can help thicken the shampoo and shaving cream mixture and turn it into slime. Pour the salt into a bowl and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. The dough will turn out to be pliable and slippery.
- If the slime doesn't thicken well, add a little more salt and stir constantly. The amount of salt needed varies according to the type of shampoo used.
- The mixture will start to look like slime, but is very soft and sticky.
Step 4. Freeze the slime for 15 to 20 minutes
Once the slime has started to solidify, place the bowl in the refrigerator to complete the process. After about 15 minutes, you can take the object out and play with it! If the slime starts to soften, put it back in the refrigerator until it's quite firm and easy to play with.
Keeping the slime in the fridge for too long will make it harden, making it difficult to play with. Similarly, removing the slime from the refrigerator will cause it to melt and turn sticky. When you're done playing, throw the object away so it doesn't need to be frozen and doesn't melt again
Method 3 of 3: Using Peel Mask
Step 1. Mix the peel off mask with shaving cream in a bowl
Add 120 ml of peel off mask containing polyvinyl alcohol and pour it into a bowl. Add about 240 ml of shaving cream, then stir until well combined.
- Polyvinyl alcohol is the active ingredient in glue that is usually used to make slime. So, peel off masks can be a perfect substitute for glue. Make sure the mask you choose contains polyvinyl alcohol.
- You can increase or decrease the shaving cream to get the texture you want.
Step 2. Add cornstarch and baking soda to thicken the slime
Add 1 gram of cornstarch and baking soda. Pour into the mixture of shampoo and shaving cream, then mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or similar tool.
- The slime will start to thicken, but it won't look solid enough.
- Make sure all the ingredients used are well mixed before continuing the process.
Step 3. Finish the slime making process with 5 ml of contact lens cleaning fluid
This liquid contains boric acid which can turn the polyvinyl alcohol on the peel off mask into slime! Slowly add the contact lens cleaning liquid to the bowl, then stir until well combined. Add the liquid as needed until the slime feels chewy, pliable, and soft!
- The amount of contact cleaning fluid needed varies according to the boric acid content in it, as well as the type of mask used. Use just enough to make your slime really pliable!
- If you want to make slime more flexible, add 15 to 30 ml of water. Wet the slime, then knead until it doesn't feel wet anymore.
Step 4. Store the slime in an airtight container for 1 week
When you're done playing, put the slime in an airtight container or bag that can be opened and closed. This toy will stay clean and safe to use for up to a week. Throw it away after a week, or if it looks dirty.
Tips
- If the slime is too thick, add a little hand or skin moisturizer to the mixture. This will make the toy soft and supple again!
- Add contact lens cleaning fluid or activator little by little. Adding too much of the liquid can cause the slime to become stiff and not fun to play with.
- You can add anything to make the slime more fun to play with! Add food coloring, glitter, or knick-knacks to change the look and texture of your toys.
Warning
- If the slime is dirty, mossy, sticky, or difficult to play with, throw it away.
- You should always wash your hands after playing with slime – especially before eating.
