How it works:
How it works:
The bottom mold is the main mold that we would pour the jelly mixture in. After you fill the mold with the jelly mixture about halfway, you put on the top mold. Then you pop the molds in the freezer for the jelly exterior to set. The bottom mold is what makes the shape of the pod, while the top mold creates a hole for us to pour in the liquid body wash after the jelly solidifies.

How our Kel Jel pods are unique:
Compared to our competitors our pods are unique because no one has ever thought of using a shower jelly to hold liquid body wash inside. Our pods are also cheaper than our competitors because we've found ways to use cheaper materials without losing quality.

Where is Kel Jel used?
For the moment KelJel would be a body wash, henceforth a shower product. With future expansion though it could be said, a hand soap. Then it could be used in homes, hospitals, schools, restaurants, airports, etc. Really where ever.
