DIY Slime Infused With Essential Oils

Borax is not baking soda. Why is Borax mentioned in the slime lead in? Can you describe a bit about the properties of this and how to care for it? Thx!

Hi Susan! The original recipe contained borax but we’ve updated the recipe to include baking soda instead. We recommend keeping the slime in a baggie and storing in the fridge for an approximate 1-3 month shelf life.
