Posted by : Unknown Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Bubble baths are quite simply one of life’s divine luxuries. Nothing quite beats a soak in the bath tub, whether you are 9 months or 99 years old- it appeals to us all. Our family have created homemade bubble bath soaps for some time, and although we mostly use showers, every now and then a good soak is all you want- Bathing baby? There is nothing better than to make up your own homemade bubble bath, no nasties and completely natural-what can be better than that?

Homemade Bubble Bath (Base) Recipe
(Makes a family size bottle)
What you need

750ml/3 cups of liquid Castille soap

15g/2 tbsp fine sugar ( confectioners or caster)

20g/ 4 tbsp glycerin (vegetable)

optional: 1 level tsp of beet powder to make it pink, turmeric to make it yellow, or woad to make it purple

essential oils from our selection below- or make up your own!

glass, ceramic or metal mixing bowl

large bottle

a funnel

What to do
Stir together all the ingredients above (except the essential oils) and add the optional colouring if you wish. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, place the bowl in a cool, dry place for approximately 24 to 30 hours. Once the mixture has been allowed to cure, add the essential oil fragrance combo of your choice. You may either add them now, or you can add the essential oils separately to each bath- it’s up to you. Everyone in our family has a preference for a different fragrance combo so we tend to do the latter. The combinations below are our own, but feel free to experiment with one or more of the scents below, or even make up your very own signature scent! Then, using a funnel carefully decant the mixture into your large bottle et voila, your bath awaits!
