Product Information

Same old story: Most of the bubble bath soaps on the market contain some really terrible ingredients… parabens, fragrances, even formaldehyde. Yep.

Vegetable Glycerin: We use vegetable glycerin to make the bars a little more moldable and less likely to break apart. It is also a humectant, which means that it will draw moisture to itself. SLSa is derived from coconut and palm oils and is a natural surfactant. It is what adds bubbles to our bubble bar and gives a quality long lasting bubble.

Vegetable Glycerin is a humectant, which means that it draws moisture to its self. We add this to the bubble bars because it will hold the moisture on the bubbles and make them last longer. In a small container mix together the wet ingredients (vegetable glycerin, coco glucoside, polysorbate 80, fragrance oil and melted cocoa butter) until they are fully combined. Shea Butter: We need some oils to add a moisturizing element and also to bind the bar together. You could substitute the shea butter for mango butter. We need to use some type of carrier oil or butter to hold our bar together. I am using Cocoa Butter because it is a brittle butter that will help with keeping the bar in solid form. The emulsifier in this recipe will actually allow the cocoa butter to disperse into your water so you actually get the benefits of it. Don’t be fooled: Many natural bubble bath options are pure but don’t create big or lasting bubbles. You’d be better saving your money and using a simple olive oil bar.

The addition of magnesium rich salt gives this bubble bath a soothing and rejuvenating boost. Great for calming kids before bedtime! My mom used JOY soap for the bubbles, but hey, it was the 80s. Baby Genevieve holding a bottle of JOY Polysorbate 80: Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. We need an emulsifier to disperse the oils and fragrance throughout the bath water. Otherwise, it would all just pool on the top of your bath water. Add the melted butters and the remaining wet ingredients (vegetable glycerin, polysorbate 80, fractionated coconut oil and strawberry fragrance oil) to your oils.The Cream of Tartar is used to help harden the bubble bar and to help hold the ingredients together so our bars don’t fall apart. Kind of a downer epilogue to a bubble bath post, eh? But, in moderation, bubble baths can be healthy and super fun. Mommy likes a good bubble bath, too! There are so many different ways to customize you solid bubble bar by creating new shapes. You can make it with an ice cream scoop, rolled into a bar or with a mold.
