A Facebook friend of mine asked me if I had any recipes for bubble bath & I realized that I hadn't posted any. So . . . in honor of my friend's request . . . AND . . . since we JUST had a new bathtub/shower installed yesterday . . . here's a bubble bath recipe for you ~
You will need:
~1/2 c. UNscented liquid Castile soap
~3/4 c. water
~1/2 ts. sea salt
~15-20 drops of your favorite essential oil . . . EX:
**Lavender for relaxing & taking away tension, stress & headaches
**Eucalypus for colds & opening sinuses
**Chamomile for softening skin & relaxing
**Rosemary for sinuses, brain stress, headaches
{Here's a little secret just between you & me . . . simply adding several drops of your favorite essential oil in a bottle of UNscented liquid Castile soap is great all by itself!}**Eucalypus for colds & opening sinuses
**Chamomile for softening skin & relaxing
**Rosemary for sinuses, brain stress, headaches

Directions:
1) Pour soap into a medium-sized bowl & SLOWLY add water so it won't bubble over; stir GENTLY until mixed.
2) Add sea salt & stir until it thickens into a light gel.
3) Add essential oil of choice & stir until well blended.
4) Pour into a pretty bottle w/a good cap OR into a wide-mouthed jar w/a gasket lid.
5) This can also be used as a body wash.

Have a blessed day.
Where do you find or buy unscented liquid castile soap? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking ~ usually you can find it at any health food store. Many groceries that have a "healthy" section have started carrying castile soaps, too.
DeleteBlessings . . .
how do you get the different color?
DeleteJust a few drops of natural, plant-based food coloring. :-)
DeleteHELP!!!! What in the world am I doing wrong? I have tried to make this twice now & I can't get it to thicken at all. :-(
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . I've never had that happen. Try cutting back on the water to 1/2 c.
DeleteThese soap-based bubble bath recipes don't work for most people, because a bathtubful of most waters has enough "hardness" to turn a LOT of soap into non-foamy scum.
ReplyDeleteRobert ~ Thank you for bringing that up . . . THAT is exactly why you need to use LIQUID CASTILE SOAP. It's one of the purest soaps in existence. You just proved the point of why it is in my recipe.
