Oh, how handy you are, this gives me just the idea to use up the disodium lauryl (ethyl ether)3 sulfosuccinate solution I have on hand.

Thanks for the idea. I ran out of bubble bath and my 6 yr old daughter really wanted to take one to night. This was super easy to make she even did it herself. She has been in the bath for 30 min and still has a ton of bubbles. This will also be a cheap fun project to do with her friends.

Be very careful with extract and essential oils. Peppermint in particular can burn the skin.

I followed the recipe using coconut oil & Dr Bronners.

The bubbles did not last more than a few minutes and worse our drain was clogged the next morning by the coconut oil which solidified in the pipe.

After we cleared the drain ( what a stressful day that was ) I tried straight shampoo and it was excellent. The bubbles lasted until bath was over (25 minutes), the scent was nice and it was gentle on both the little ones’ skin.

So…I happy bought 2 Johnsons & Johnson’s bubble baths at Target yesterday. Homemade chemistry? No thanks! I’ll stick to cooking & knitting. Thanks! :)

Narali B, I don’t understand what you’re asking. You don’t need a Web site to make my recipe, and you don’t need my permission to have a Web site. Are you just asking what my formula is? The description in US pat. 5,336,446 is pretty good; it’s now in the public domain. My current batch, which is pretty old but still usable, was 4 parts 40% diammonium lauryl sulfosuccinate sol’n, 3 parts 30% active lauramidopropyl sol’n (35% solids), 2 parts 40% disodium lauryl (ethyl ether)3 sulfosuccinate sol’n. However, I like it even better if 1/3 to 2/5 of the lauramidopropyl betaine is substituted for by palmitamidopropyl betaine.

Yes, it’s pricey, but I prefer it because it has fewer harmful chemicals. You can buy it at stores like Whole Foods, but since I don’t have access to stores like that near me, I order it online.
