Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Here is a recipe that I had in my files for these: http://www.pvsoap.com/recipe_bubble_bath_drop.htm Honestly, they are really hard to package and when they get a little humid or hot, they crumble right up. My sister has ordered them before from LUSH and it happens to her every time she gets them. www.InesShower.com 1,000's of Bathbombs sold weekly!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I can help with this perhaps. I make one that works out quite well. I sell a pile of these. Honey Pies 30% sodium lauryl sulfoacetate 30% finely ground salt 30% sodium bicarbonate 2% liquid honey 2% powdered honey 2% EO 4% TRO (sulphanated castor oil) Mix all together in a food processor and add liquid colourant (I use labcolours) to achieve the colour you want.. Mixture should squeeze together and stick. I pack this into 1/4 cup puck shaped rubber maid measuring cups and tap out onto wax paper. Let dry a day or two and then wrap. I wrap mine in a layer of wax paper with printed tissue paper underneath. One Pie will do a very full bath. Bubbles last for about 40 minutes. The TRO leaves your skin feeling softened but doesn't gunk up the tub.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 , could you sub coconut oil for the SLS and get the same bubbles?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 It has always been my understanding that coconut oil, like castor oil, must go through the saponification process to aid lather. Since this recipe doesn't sap, coconut oil would be a moisturizing ingredient instead of a lathering ingredient.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yes..to make a bubble bar...you really need a powdered surfactant. You can use Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate instead, but the bubbles aren't as good but it doesn leave a silky lovely feeling on your skin...the tauranol line from Finetex will work as well..For me though, the best so far has been Stepan's sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (lathanol lal).

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Sherry, vegetable oils do not foam up and stay bubbles like the SLS does in bubble bath.
