How To Make Bubble Bath With Inexpensive Ingredients

Unfortunately, many of the bath products available on the market are laced with harsh chemicals that can irritate our skin or even cause infections. You have to be careful in what you purchase and actually research your product choices carefully.

An alternative choice is to make your own bath products. By combining readily available ingredients along with a selection of essential oils, your bubble bath will help to enhance the softness of your skin, aid in stress reduction, and contribute to your mental health and well being.

What Ingredients Constitute Homemade Bubble Bath?

Let's look at some of the ingredients that you'll be using to mix up your own homemade bubble bath formula.

Distilled Water. You can purchase distilled water in most supermarkets. The benefit of using this type of water over regular tap water is that chlorine, all minerals, and other impurities have been removed from it.

Liquid glycerine. This is a clear, thick liquid that is extracted from animal fats and vegetable oils, and is a by-product of soap manufacturing. Its purpose is to increase moisture and softness, plus it helps to create bubbles.

Castile Soap. This type of soap was originally made from olive oil, although other types of oils can also be used, such as coconut, almond, hemp, and jojoba.

Essential Oils. There are many oils that have many different purposes so you will need to research this area. For a soothing scent try oils like lavender, rosewood, sandalwood, chamomile, and myrrh. Some of the essential oils that can help you to feel energised and rejuvenated are eucalyptus, spearmint, peppermint, and lemon oil. Oils that are especially good at softening the skin include almond and coconut oil.

Simple Bubble Bath Recipe

Here is a very quick and easy recipe that anyone can make. Once you have it mixed, pour the mixture into an unbreakable bottle. As it doesn't have any chemical ingredients to preserve it, it would probably be safe to say you could store your bubble bath for one to two months.

• 1 litre warm distilled water
• 1 bar castile soap, grated
• 2 tablespoons liquid glycerine
• 3 to 4 drops essential oil of choice

Mix the water and grated soap together until all the soap is dissolved. It's best to use warm to hot water for this, as it helps the soap dissolve faster. Add the glycerine and essential oil stir gently. This is safe to use for kids as well.
