You can also make this using shaving cream instead. If you’d like to make it in smaller amounts, simply use the ratio of 1 part lotion/conditioner to 2 parts cornstarch.
If the playdough is too sticky, add more cornstarch. If it is too dry, add more lotion/conditioner/shaving cream. If the color is not dark enough, add in a few more drops of food coloring.
You can use even less food coloring. Even a single drop will give it a lovely pastel color. [10] X Research source
How much food coloring you add is up to you. The more you add, the darker your playdough will be.
Be careful; the ingredients may still be hot.
If you are working with one big ball, start with just three drops of food coloring. If you are working with smaller balls, start with one drop. A little bit goes a long way! The more food coloring you add, the darker your playdough will become.
