Step 1
For this tutorial, 4 bottles of bubble bath will be created: one 12 oz. bottle, one 8 oz. bottle, one 6 oz. bottle and one 1 oz. bottle, so 27 oz. of Liquid Glycerin Soap Base will be used. (You will need to adjust your amount of soap base to accommodate your bottle sizes). Measure out 27 oz. of liquid soap base into the large funnel pitcher.
Step 2
Add Foam Booster to the liquid soap base. 8% will be used in this tutorial. Up to 10% can be used but can thin the base if too much is used. Add 2.16 oz. of Foam Booster to the soap base. Mix well with the silicone universal scraper. (27 x .08 = 2.16oz)
Step 3
Add fragrance oil at a rate of .5%. Measure out 4 ml. of fragrance and add to the soap base. Mix well.
Step 4
Add one .15cc scoop of Purple Passion Mica colorant, stir well.
**If using liquid colorants, add one drop at a time until desired color is achieved. If using cosmetic safe mica colorants, add one .15cc scoop of mica. Do not add too much mica as it can stain a bath tub. For deeper or bolder colors, use the liquid Gel Colorants. **
Step 5
Transfer Bubble Bath mixture to bottles, filling to just below the neck of the bottle.
Step 6
Add cap to bottle and secure tightly.
Step 7
Enjoy fun with your bubble bath or make a nice label for the bottle for gift giving! Showcase your creativity by choosing coordinating colors and scents.
Tips for Making Fun Foaming Bubble Bath
Creating your own DIY bubble bath can be a delightful and rewarding experience, offering a luxurious and customized addition to your bath routine. Here are some tips to ensure your DIY bubble bath is both fun and effective:
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for gentle, skin-friendly ingredients. Castile soap is a great base as it's natural and mild. You can also use baby shampoo for a gentle option that creates a lot of bubbles. Look for vegetable glycerin to add moisture and help create thicker bubbles.
- Add Essential Oils for Fragrance: To make your bubble bath a sensory delight, add a few drops of essential oils. Lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus are popular choices that can help you relax and unwind. Always test essential oils on your skin before using them in your bubble bath to ensure you don't have any allergic reactions.
- Coloring and Fun Additives: If you want to make your bubble bath visually appealing, consider adding a few drops of food coloring. Just be cautious with the amount to avoid staining your tub. You can also add ingredients like glitter or flower petals for an extra touch of luxury and fun.
- Proper Mixing: When mixing your ingredients, ensure they are well blended. This will help in creating a consistent and foamy bubble bath. Use a whisk or a blender to thoroughly mix the liquid soap, glycerin, and essential oils.
- Storage and Usage: Store your DIY bubble bath in a clean, airtight container. Glass bottles with a pump dispenser work well and add a touch of elegance to your bathroom. Shake the bottle before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
