Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cream of tartar Can be substituted with baking powder.
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil (coconut or olive) Other skin-safe oils can be used.
  • 1/2 cup liquid soap (gentle, unscented) Regular soap may not produce as many bubbles.
  • to taste essential oils (optional, for scent) Lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus recommended.
  • to taste food coloring (optional) Use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, gather the baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together until fully combined.
  • Gradually pour in the oil and liquid soap.
  • If you’re using essential oils for scent, add a few drops now.
  • Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • To add color, incorporate a few drops of food coloring.
  • Mix well, ensuring the color is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Check the texture of your dough; it should hold together when squeezed.
  • If too crumbly, add a tiny bit more oil or water until your desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer your bubble bath dough into an airtight container.
  • Let it sit for a few hours to firm up before using or gifting.

Notes

Store the bubble bath dough in a cool, dry place. It can last for several weeks in an airtight container. Always conduct a patch test for sensitivity.
