An easy-to-make bubble bath that’s kind to your

skin
Posted on 04/12/2015

Is there anything more inviting than a hot bath? A traditional bubble bath that poses
no risk to your health? And to top it off, a relaxing scent? Well, if that’s what you’re
looking for, you’ve come to the right place!

Commercial bubble baths are often criticized for containing SLES (Sodium laureth
sulfate), a foaming agent disapproved of by the David Suzuki Foundation and
others since it can irritate the skin and eyes. At Coop Coco, we replace it in our
recipes with coco betaine which, combined with with decyl glucoside, creates lots
of suds while being kind to your skin.
So here’s our recipe for a fast, easy bubble bath that you can personalize in any
way you wish to make gifts for any occasion, including (and especially) a special
treat for yourself.
 Happiness in a bottle!

ingredients (at least 1 cup/ 250ml.)

Steps to follow
1. Weigh the decyl glucoside, the coco betaine, and the demineralized water.

2. Pour the decyl glucoside and the coco betaine into the measuring cup or other
container, stirring gently to avoid creating too much foam. The mixture will become
slightly cloudy, but will become transparent once the two ingredients are well
blended.

3. Add the demineralized water. Stir gently.

4. Weigh the essential oils in the desired blend in a ramekin, then add to the
mixture. Once again, stir gently to avoid creating too much foam.

5. 5. Add colorant for glycerin soap if desired. Add a few drops, stir, and keep
adding slowly until you reach the desired colour.

6. Using a funnel, pour into the bottle.

Now all you need is a rubber ducky to join you in your bath!
