So, your homemade bubble bath isn’t going to give you the same luxurious tub full of bubbles you’re imagining from Calgon commercials. One of the problems with DIY bubble baths is that they lack surfactants (some of those difficult-to-pronounce ingredients in store-bought bubble baths). Vitamin E: This is a powerful natural moisturizer and works wonderfully in a bath. Honey: Did you know honey has both moisturizing and antiseptic qualities? A single teaspoon added to your solution will do wonders for your skin. Optional IngredientsĮpsom salts: This is a great addition if you have muscle soreness or aches and pains. Some essential oils you might want to avoid (because of potential to irritate the skin) are cinnamon, clove, and spearmint. Here are some suggestions for a calming bath: But you can use any scent combinations you want. I chose lavender and vanilla for their stress-relieving aromatherapy effect. Castile soap (and other liquid soap) come in scented so you can simply choose one that has a scent you like if you want the aromatherapy benefits of scent without using essential oils. You don’t have to add essential oils if you don’t want.
Just make sure to wipe out your tub later as these will often leave a residue. You can even use other types of oil like olive oil or almond oil. If you don’t have any, an easy replacement is coconut oil.
Glycerine is used in bubble bath to help moisturize your dry skin. It’s not as natural as it contains some synthetic ingredients but they are all paraben-free and made without phthalates or artificial colors. However, you can use any liquid soap in its place.Ī great substitute is Mrs. I like castile soap because it’s natural and versatile. I tried 3 different recipes, wasn’t happy with any of them, and finally played with the proportions myself until I came up with one that (to me) was the perfect balance of bubbles, moisturizing ability, and a pleasant scent. Oddly, every natural homemade bubble bath recipe I found had the same 3 ingredients (castile soap, vegetable glycerine, and water) in different proportions. I did some research to see if it would be difficult to make my own and discovered that most natural homemade bubble bath recipes only need 3 ingredients!

So, if you have sensitive skin but enjoy a nice, hot bath, making your own bubble bath is an easy solution. Here’s what mine said: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, and 6 more ingredients equally long and difficult to pronounce. Have you read the ingredient label on store-bought bubble bath? In the winter, I like to take a nice, hot bubble bath to relax and warm up from the freezing weather outside. For examples, check out my Homemade Beauty Products and Homemade Cleaning Solutions. If you’re a regular reader here, you know I am stingy with my time and money so I’ve only made the switch when it’s easy and affordable to make products myself rather than buy the store version. On my gradual journey towards a healthier lifestyle, I’ve been slowly eliminating products with harsh chemicals from our home and replacing them with homemade versions, like my DIY Activated Charcoal Soap. Did you know it’s super easy to whip up a bottle of DIY bubble bath? Skip the chemical-laden store version and make your own natural homemade bubble bath.
