Baths and bubbles—it’s a combination few can resist. If you’re in the mood for a relaxing soak or ready for playtime, use our bubble bath bars, boosted by essential oils, to transform your everyday.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup baking soda, plus some extra
• 1 cup sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA)*
• 1/3 cup corn starch
• 1/3 cup cream of tartar
• 1/3 cup vegetable glycerin
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• 20-30 drops essential oil—try our fun suggestions that can be found on the blog!
• Natural soap dye or food coloring
• Wax paper
Directions:
1. Measure out all dry ingredients, and strain them through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of any clumps. Mix together with your hands.
2. In a separate bowl, measure out all wet ingredients, including your essential oils. Mix together.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix with your hands until you form a dough with a somewhat crumbly texture.
4. Separate the dough into two bowls, and add natural soap dye or food coloring. Mix well by kneading with your hands until the color is fully incorporated. This may take a few minutes.
5. Put one piece of colored dough onto a sheet of wax paper sprinkled with baking soda. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle shape about ½ inch thick, pressing together any cracks in the dough with your fingers.
6. Place the second piece of colored dough on top of the first, and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to the same rectangular size as the first. The result is the two pieces layered on top of each other.
7. Using your wax paper, slowly begin to turn the dough over on itself to roll it up. Gently press any cracks together when they form, keeping the roll intact as much as possible. Keep rolling until you have a cylinder.
YL Tip: If your roll is cracking a lot, drizzle a tiny amount of vegetable glycerin on cracking spots to help them stick.
8. Squeeze the ends in to make the roll tight.
9. Cut the roll into slices that are 1-2 inches thick.
10. For best results, let the bubble bars dry for at least 72 hours before use.
To use:
1. Run a hot bath, and break up the bubble bar in the running water.
2. To control the amount of bubbles, take out the bubble bar when you have enough soap and bubbles. Store in a container for future use.
3. Enjoy!
