Science Behind Every Step
Slime isn't just fun to squish, it's a science experiment in your hands!
The secret lies in a process called cross-linking. Imagine the glue as long, tangled chains. When you add the activator (borax solution, contact lens solution, etc.), it creates bridges between these chains. These bridges stop the glue from flowing freely, transforming it into the slimy substance you love.
This mixture creates a special type of fluid called a non-Newtonian fluid. Unlike water or oil, its flow changes depending on the pressure applied. So, it acts solid when you push on it quickly (feels firm) but flows like a liquid when you hold it gently (runs through your fingers). Pretty cool, right?

Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We’re here to help
Q. Do you have any slime recipes without borax?
Q. What slime ingredients do I need to get started?
Ans:- The basic slime ingredients typically include glue, water, and an activator (like borax solution or contact lens solution). Many recipes also incorporate fun add-ins like glitter, food coloring, and clay pieces for textural twists, enhancing creativity.
Q. Can I make slime without borax?
Ans:- Yes! While borax is a common slime activator, there are alternative options for slime recipes without borax like contact lens solution (ensure it contains boric acid and sodium borate) or baking soda and glue for activation.
Q. What is a slime activator and why do I need it?
Ans:- A slime activator is an ingredient that helps transform the slime mixture into its final form. It creates a cross-linking reaction between the glue molecules, resulting in the stretchy, gooey texture we love.
Q. What are some fun things to add to my slime?
Ans:- The possibilities are endless! Get creative and add glitter, beads, small toys, confetti, or even food flavouring (for scent, not taste!) Want to skip the slime supplies hunt? Explore our DIY slime kits come with base slime and fun add-in options to inspire your creations.

Ans:- Safety is our top priority! Our slime recipes are designed with child-friendly ingredients and clear instructions. Adult supervision is always recommended for younger children. Remember, silme is NOT edible.
Q. I have allergies. Do your slime recipes use allergen-free ingredients?
Ans:- While our slime recipes use body safe ingredients, some may experience sensitivity. Please do not play with slime if you are allergic to borax, glue, shaving cream, baby oil, lotion, soap, food colouring, cosmetic grade glitters, and/or fragrances/essential oils.
Q. Can i activate my slime with baking soda?
Ans:- Baking soda can help firm up slime, but isn't a full substitute for activator in your slime recipe. For a small fix, try adding a tiny pinch at a time and mix well. Be aware it may alter texture slightly.
