Add all of the dry ingredients (baking soda, citric acid, SLSa, and cream of tartar) to a bowl and mix lightly with a whisk. You are going to pinch off a piece of the bubble bath and hold it under the running faucet to create bubbles. Sometimes if the bar feels too hard, you will have to rub your hand together under the water to help it soften up a bit. Also, the natural oils on our skin help to absorb our vitamin D from the sun. Your skin can take up to 48 hours to fully absorb vitamin D through the skin, so washing too frequently may affect healthy vitamin D levels. Kokum Butter: Kokum butter is a hard brittle butter that helps our bubble bar hold its shape. You can swap this out for cocoa butter.
Our skin actually houses good bacteria that shouldn’t be washed away too often. That’s why skin-to-skin touching is so important to newborns who are developing their microbiome. 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. Fractionated Coconut Oil: We use the fractionated coconut oil because its a lightweight oil. We use the carrier oil to help wet the dry ingredients and to add moisture to our bath. You can swap it for sweet almond oil or another lightweight carrier oil. Storage 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. Simply break of a chunk of the strawberry bubble bar and hot it under the running water to create bubbles. You can squeeze the bubble bar and agitate the water with your hands to maximize the amount of bubbles. Bubble Bar Ingredients

The “hygiene hypothesis” states that too few exposures to bacteria and pathogens in early childhood may interfere with proper immune system development. Studies have found that too frequent bathing may indeed lead to asthma, eczema and even diabetes and leukemia.
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!In this recipe I am using three surfactants. Two of the surfactants (SLSa and Cocamidopropyl betaine) are to create bubbles and the third (polysorbate 80) is an emulsifier.

You’re never to old to enjoy a good bubble party! I like to add a few drops of Lavender, Peace & Calming, Chamomile or Stress Away essential oil to my baths for added therapeutic effect. How About You? In a large container mix together the dry ingredients (SLSa, baking soda, cream of tartar, arrowroot powder, and kaolin clay). The SLSa is a very fine powder and you may want to wear a face mask when adding it. I crumbled half of this bubble bar into the bath. The bubble bar itself looks so solid and it is, but when crumbled has a softer texture to it. It created bubbles straight away while it was thrown under the warm running water. I was actually surprised how many bubbles were created and how soft, fluffy and airy they were! Underneath the surface the bath was a shade of soft pink. Overall a very inviting bath to look at.I did some research, tried out a few options, and have some good ones for you listed below. Scroll down even further and you’ll see some DIY options that you can whip together for a safe and sudsy good time. Whisk all ingredients together. Drizzle under running water while filling the bath. Super Bubble Bath 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. Another option is to make your own bubble bath! This is great for the DIY-ers or folks who want to make 100% sure their bubble bath is toxin-free. If you are adding more than one color, separate the dough and add the coloring to each part. Note: When choosing the color, you will need to decide if you want the bath water to be colored. Mica will color the bar but not the bath water. To get the bath water colored, you will want to use a lake dye.
Baking Soda and Citric Acid: We use the baking soda and citric acid to create the base for the dough and to cause a fizzing when introduced to water. The fizzing helps to break up the solid bubble bar into the water. Once the bubble bars have dried, you will want to store them in an air tight container or wrap them with a shrink wrap. Ingredients Washing away the natural oils (sebum) on our skin too frequently can cause dry skin or may cause the skin to go into sebum overdrive and actually cause greasy skin. Add the melted butters and the remaining wet ingredients (vegetable glycerin, polysorbate 80, fractionated coconut oil and strawberry fragrance oil) to your oils.
Coco Glucoside is our secondary surfactant. It is compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants. We use this to improve the foam (makes the bubbles more stable and last longer) and to help with wetting the mixture to make a “dough”. The fragrance oil that I am using for these bubble bars is Sugared Strawberry Fragrance Oil it is a sweet strawberry scent. The strawberry scent is enhanced by light notes of sweet nectar, green apples, and grape. SLSa: SLSa is a natural surfactant that is derived from coconut and palm oils. You will want to be sure to wear a a mask when handling, as the powder gets into the air easily.
