You can make your own, it's not difficult to do.
Put four cups of water in a pan on the stove to boil. Into one cup of COLD water, mix four tablespoons of cornstarch and a drop or two of liquid detergent (whatever you use for dishes or clothes). Mix well.
When the water on the stove is boiling, give the cold starch solution a last stir, then stir the boiling water as you pour the starch solution into it. Continue stirring until the mixture in the pan thickens and turns clear. Remove the pan from heat.
When the starch mixture has cooled, you can mix to your liking with cold water (the more water you add, the thinner the starch).
The starch mixture will keep in the refrigerator for a week, sometimes longer. If it looks clear, it's good; if it is cloudy, toss it.
Very cheap, no preservatives, no unwanted scents.
