What is Fluffy Slime? 

Fluffy slime is really just regular slime
made with shaving cream added. The
amount of shaving cream you add will
change the texture and consistency of
the slime. The more you add, the
“fluffier” it will be. If you just want it to be
a little fluffy, then this recipe will walk you
through how much shaving cream to
use. The fun part about making slime is
experimenting with different amounts to
see how the slime forms.

If you want to make sure your slime

turns out – be sure to read the
instructions carefully. The type of
contact lens solution you need and glue
is very important! Substituting these
ingredients for other brands may result in
your slime not working. We also do not
recommend substituting the brands we
recommend.

Fluffy Slime Recipe

If you’re looking for a general slime
recipe, our base slime recipe can be
found here:  How to Make Slime With
Contact Solution. We like to use contact
lens solution instead of pure borax in our
slime recipes. We recommend you try
this basic recipe to start if you haven’t
made slime before. It is easier to make
than fluffy slime and will give you an idea
on how much you need to knead and
work the slime for it to form.

Fluffy slime is a lot of fun for kids to play

with – however we recommend adult
supervision and that adults should make
the slime. See more safety tips at the
bottom of this post before making your
slime.

Once you have your fluffy slime made,

have fun stretching and squishing it.
Fluffy slime will leave indentations when
you press on it which regular slime won’t
do as easily. It’s a bit harder to stretch as
it gives a fluffy consistency instead.

How Long Does Slime Last?

The fluffiness will only last a day. So if
you do plan on storing it for future use,
just note that the shaving cream settles
and the next day it won’t be as fluffy. You
can still continue to play with it after the
first day but it will turn into a consistency
more like regular slime.  Store in an air
tight container and it should last at least 1
week.

Fluffy Slime Ingredients

If you want a large batch – triple the
below recipe. Or make 3 batches with 3
different colors like we did and turn your
slime into Unicorn Fluffy Slime!

Per batch: 

– 2/3 cup of Elmer’s White Glue – we

like to buy this gallon size of white glue
as it’s a lot cheaper and you can continue
to use it to make more batches.

Note: we made this with Elmer’s white

glue. Do not substitute with other glue as
the make-up may not be the same and
the recipe may not work

– 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

– 1/4 Cup Water

– 2-3 cups Shaving Cream – note: do

not use shave gel.

– 1.5 Tablespoons Contact Lens

Solution –  *Important: your brand of
contact lens solution must have boric
acid and sodium borate in the ingredient
list. This is what interacts with the glue to
form the slime. We recommend only
using Renu fresh or Equate brand. Do
not substitute with other brands.

Solution for more tips making slime with
contact lens solution.

– Liquid Food Coloring – this set comes

with all kinds of vibrant pinks, purples
and blues.

Safety Tips: Adults only should make the

slime and handle all chemicals. Do not
substitute any ingredients in our slime
recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear
gloves while playing with the slime.
Always wash hands before and after use.
If you notice any skin irritation
discontinue use immediately. Slime is a
science experiment and should be made
and played with in moderation. See the
bottom of the post for more safety
precautions before making the slime.

Fluffy Slime Recipe

How to Make Fluffy Slime

1. Add your white glue to a bowl.

2.  Add you water and baking soda and

then mix.

3. Add your shaving cream and mix.

4. Add your food coloring until you are

satisfied with the color. Mix.

5. Now slowly add in your contact

solution.

**Important: your brand of contact lens

solution must have boric acid and sodium
borate in the ingredient list. This is what
interacts with the glue to form the slime.
If slime does not form it is typically due
to the contact lens solution not having
these ingredients. Check your label and
see the recommended brands above in
our ingredient list.

We like to add in 1 tablespoon, knead for

5 minutes and then add in the 1/2
tablespoon after kneading for some time.
The slime will be very sticky when you’re
kneading – and that’s normal!

The first tablespoon you add will let you

start to knead it. And the last 1/2
tablespoon will bring the stickiness down
and it shouldn’t be sticking as much to
your hands.

Note- fluffy slime is MESSY when you’re

making it. It is normal that it will stick to
your hands as you’re kneading.

If you find it still too sticky – add some

baby oil or lotion to your hands.  You can
also add more contact solution if it’s still
too sticky, just a little bit at a time. If you
add too much contact solution the slime
may become too hard and won’t be as
stretchy to play with.

Now repeat the above recipe for each

color you’d like to make. Note: Once you
mix the colors together they will
eventually mix into one color like play
dough does. So you can keep them
separately or mix and see what happens!
If you make all 3 colors it may turn to
gray so if you want to end up with purple
just mix the pink and purple together.

Now you’re done and you can play with it!

The slime will keep for at least a week in
an air tight container. As mentioned
above, you’ll lose the fluffiness factor
after the first day, but it is still fun to play
with!
