How to Make Liquid Bubble Bath with Only 2 Ingredients

Today I'm showing you how to make this gorgeous liquid bubble bath. The recipe is super easy & makes tons of bubbles! All you really need is distilled water & a "bubble bath-maker". For a list of bubble bath-makers click here: • Bubble Bath-makers: Dr...
RECIPE: 12 ounces (355 milliliters) distilled water, 2 ounces surfactant, "bubble bath-maker" (I used SLSa, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) [or use sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium cocoyl isethionate (SCI), sodium coco sulfate (SCS) ** powder form is recommended because it dissolves more easily]. + 1 ounce (30 milliliters) "co-surfactant" (I used cocamidopropyl betaine) [other great choices are lauryl glucoside, coco glucoside, or decyl glucoside], .80 ounces (24 milliliters) fragrance oil, .20 ounces (6 milliliters) preservative. ** A preservative is highly recommended to extend the shelf life. DIRECTIONS: Boil the water & surfactant together for 5 minutes. Weigh mixture. Add more distilled water & bring it up to 12 ounces total. Add 1 ounce of surfactant; it's going to give the bubbles more body, boost bubble power, & allow the bubbles to last longer. Cool mixture lower than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius), then add fragrance & a preservative (I used germall plus, linked below). ** You can thicken it with salt, but remember it's supposed to be thin. Get more surfactant formulations, tips, & tricks from this channel - This is where I learned the salt trick. @The Institute of Personal Care Science
Once the bottles are full & clean, add labels. I made a 3x2 label for the belly & a 1x2 label for the neck *** But I think it'd look better if the neck label went all the way around. Click here for the labels tutorial: • Make Professional Labe... Jazz up the bottles with necklaces & tassels. I feel like the packaging makes the bubble bath really special. The charms hanging in the front add class & sophistication & the tassels add a pop of color & festive flare.
** If your bubble bath is too thick, add water until it's thin enough. However, this means re-formulating everything, especially the preservative. ** I made a batch a lot thinner than it was initially & was worried about losing bubble bath power. So, I added dry SLSa powder straight to the pitcher & stirred it in. It worked great at making bubbles- maybe even better than before! As long as you don’t mind tiny white flecks that can only be seen up close (I sure didn't mind).

Dora, have you ever made in-shower lotion? Meant to be applied in the shower, after you’ve washed up and rinsed off and your skin is still wet. The idea is that the rich lotion will help to seal in all that moisture on your skin

@@CreativeBathLabHello Dora, I really need this question answered. I also noticed several other people have the same problem and we’re not receiving an answer. The problem is it’s thickening way too much overnight and I was going to make it for a Mother’s Day sale. I’m afraid to just add water because I don’t know how to reformulate it with the preservative. I love all your videos but you should answer some of these important questions that people have about your recipes. Please help me out

I love this Dora but i worry that thr colours would mix

[@71brgrqn]

Cute idea Dora. Can you add buttermilk powder or other additives?

[@CreativeBathLab]

You absolutely 100% can do that. And I encourage it. I actually thought about doing that this time, but decided it’d be easier to go with a simple recipe

[@brittanyhunter3485]

Hi Dora! I was so excited to try this recipe! I've made it about five times.... I have tried to make double sure I am measuring everything right but every time I make this it congeals overnight. It turns into a frosting like consistency.... It still works fabulously but what am I doing wrong? I even added a little extra water the last time I made it and it didn't help.

[@nimpheuno]

i am having the same problem, did u manage to find what could help it?

[@Nicolasaaaa]

I'm having the same problem! I've even made it without adding any colors or fragrances and it still does it! Mine doesn't really work at all after it turns solid though. 😔

[@simplychic7799]

I really want to try this but I need the one that is skin sensitive. Can you help share a link for that one?

[@_raixx_]

I'd imagine sls would be better for sensitive skin, but you'd require more surfactant to get the same amount of bubbles

[@KurosakiLynn]

Does anyone know how to make bubble baths that colours the foam as well? I like making big poofy baths but I'm trying to switch it up a little!

[@CreativeBathLab]

To do that you’d have to have some VERY strong colorants added. Speaking as someone whose made very concentrated colored bubble bath products, I’ve never seen colored bubbles with mine!

[@Priyapriya-yp7px]

Can I use/add shea butter & coco butter to make bubble bath more moisture ?

[@CreativeBathLab]

sure

[@meccahenry2271]

So I just made this using the recipe u provided but it didnt really thiken at all... I purposely didnt add color but regardless of that it didnt thicken... what did I do wrong? Is it fixable?

[@bjking8807]

mine too... it just stayed really foamy.

[@witchbtch8155]

So I make my bubble bath very similarly, but to prevent the color from settling down at the bottom, I use liquid suspension base. With this recipe, do you notice any color settling?

[@CreativeBathLab]

merging, but no settling

@@CreativeBathLab Thank you!!

[@PamperedSisters]

Hello Dora, I made the bubble bath twice. It does bubble alot. However, I can seem to get it to thicken and it is nowhere your thicken texture is in the video. What is the percentage of salt should I add? I did add up to about 2 tablespoons of salt. Any additional notes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@CreativeBathLab]

Hey there, I don't remember how much salt I added, its in the description. Try crothix or a different thickener. Just remember that it's supposed to be thin tho!

[@CreativeBathLab]

I actually made mine way too thick, then had to go back & thin it out. I actually wish Ida just left it alone, like it was.

[@SargentBubblescom]

Dora I need your help! I just realized all I have is liquid coco betaine - can I use that? Would it be the same ratio, if so? Ack! I pulled out everything to make this and realized mine is liquid. I can't find my coco glucoside or decyl glucoside. So frustrating to have such limited space! Also, I wanted to ask if you did one color per batch? Im all ready to get going once I know about the liquid instructions. Sorry my friend! I hope you and the fam are well - and happy early Thanksgiving! 🦃 I have now looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find cocamidropropyl betaine in a powder form. Im stumrped.

[@CreativeBathLab]

Im not sure if it'd work as good, but hell - try it! It may even work better!!!!

[@SargentBubblescom]

I love your attitude! Where did you get your powder? I can't find it anywhere - and I've checked everywhere. ALL the usual places. No one has it.

[@shoresoffreedom]

shouldn't you bring it up to 14 oz since it s 12 oz water + 2 oz surfactant?

[@CreativeBathLab]

Nope

[@marthajohnson1211]

I didn’t want mines to get thick and I put very little salt in it and it tested it the next day and it did not thicken up can I add more salt to it or does it have to be reheated

Then For Fragrance In The Video It Says 23m But The Instructions Says 24m?? In Ur Video You Show The Clear Liquid For Preservative (2:41) But The Instructions Doesn't Specify What That Preservative It Is??? I Think That's Why Everyone Asked What Preservative Cause They Are Confused Just As I Am. If You Could Clear This All Up. I'd Appreciate It 🙂 I Really Wanna Make! Thank You.
