INSTRUCTIONS
- In a mixing vessel add the distilled water and surfactants, stirring very gently to combine. Do not add too much agitation or you will end up with lots of bubbles in the mixture which will take time to settle out of your finished product.
- Add Aloe Vera Extract Liquid, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein and mix gently until incorporated.
- Add Geogard ECT Preservative and mix gently until incorporated.
- Add drops of Jewel Tone Liquid Colourant to colour bubble bath as desired.
- Add up to 1% Fragrance or Essential Oil and mix gently until incorporated. Note: Some fragrance oils and essential oils may colour or cloud the mixture slightly, which is normal. To minimize clouding, you can pre-blend your fragrance or essential oil by blending 2 parts Polysorbate 20 to 1 part fragrance or EO before adding to your bubble bath.
- Once all ingredients, including fragrance or essential oil, are combined you can decide whether you would like to increase the thickness of the product by slowly mixing in a small amount of Fine Sea Salts until desired thickness has been achieved. It is important to add the sodium chloride (fine sea salts) after the fragrance or essential oil has been added, as some may thicken the bubble bath while others may thin it, depending on their unique components. If you find your bubble bath is too thick, simply thin by adding a small amount of distilled water.
- Once your bubble bath has been made, and any bubbles created during the mixing process have settled, you are ready to package and enjoy.
