I've seen on the forums that people use blenders to whip their shower jellies to make them easier to use.

Does doing it decrease their shelf life?

I have a friend that does this and I would say that it doesn't increase the shelf life, but it does increase the volume (by a lot). She puts sugar into it to make it more like a scrub.

If you put in sugar or water, that will decrease the shelf life by a lot.

I would be worried about the shelf life if you're adding water or anything else to them. If you're just whipping the jelly I wouldn't think it would affect shelf life, but I don't know much about these things.

I whip up my jellies and I've never had any problems with them going bad. I don't add water or anything so I'm not changing the makeup of the product just its form. I find it's easier to use and I don't waste any from dropping it or having it break off (which is important to my precious Gold Frankincense and Beer, lol).

Gold, Frankincense, and Beer is why I'm doing it, too. I love, love, love the smell, but I'm too much of a spaz to keep ahold of jelly.

Do you do it in a blender or a food processor? I've seen alot of folks on the forums mention using a food processor, but I don't have access to one and I don't want to waste a batch in the blender if it won't turn out as well...

I've got a Magic Bullet that I use. It's like a mini blender. I might take a lil more time but I'm sure a regular old blender would work fine.
