Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, and Epsom salt. Stir the mixture well until you achieve an even consistency.
  • Slowly drizzle in the liquid Castile soap while stirring the dry ingredients. If using, add a few drops of food coloring and essential oils for scent.
  • Continue mixing until the dough holds together when squeezed. If it feels too crumbly, add a little more liquid soap, one teaspoon at a time.

Shaping

  • Once the mixture is ready, mold it into shapes or press it into silicone molds.
  • Let your creativity shine!

Drying (Optional)

  • If you desire a firmer texture, let the shaped dough sit out for a few hours to harden somewhat before using.

Storage

  • Place your bubble bath dough in an airtight container until you’re ready to use it.

Notes

Experiment with different essential oils for unique scents and add biodegradable glitter for a fun shimmer effect. Create themed doughs for holidays by varying colors!
