Bubble Bath Play Doh?

[ellajoan]

LUSH has a product called "Fun," that is like a bubble bath play doh that can be used for soap or bubble bath. Does anyone have a recipe for something similar to this? I'd love to try to make some.

Talc , Cornflour (Zea mays) , Glycerine , Sodium Laureth Sulfate , Moroccan Chamomile Oil (Ormenis Mullticaulis) , Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria Chamomilla) , Lavender Oil (Lavandula augustifolia) , *Linalool , Fragrance , FD&C Blue No. 1

Here's the quantitative ingredients. I don't think it would be too hard to dupe. It's just a non-newtonian liquid.

I don't see a preseverative in this list, don't you think a product like this would need one?

There have been complaints from Lush customers that their "fun" was growing mould- I would probably use a preservative to be on the safe side!

I never know which preseverative to use for which products. Any preseverative suggestions?

I made a cheater version once, I was playing so I did not write down amounts, but what I did was, I was making a whipped soap (the kind where you use 80% butters and 20% oils) and just whip it all without melting. I used shea butter and hydrogonized soy, with coconut oil 15% and castor 5%. After adding the lye and mixing with my cake mixer, not stick blender, it is like the texture of really thick pancake syrup.

I then took the soap and poured into the mold as always and had some left over, so I took some baby wash (johnson and johnson) and dumped a good squirt into about 4 oz of soap, threw in some color and mixed it up. I let it sit for a while and it hardened up some but never got hard like the regular soap from the same batch, I presume because of the baby wash. I still have that blob of soap and its been over a yr and its still the texture of playdough. So make a little extra of your next batch and shoot some baby wash in once its a really thick trace and see what happens.

If you scroll down, on the right side there is a column with all sorts of information. Click on one that says "Preservatives". Susan can tell you which preservatives work best for which applications and the pros and cons of each.

Its just a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing you could use vitamin e as a preservative since there is no water being added, its mostly oil, I made a recipe very similar to this for my version, I call PLAY CLAY© MINUS A COUPLE OF INGREDIENTS, IT WORKS GREAT, AND IT ALSO DOUBLES AS A BUBBLE BAR /SOLID BUBBLE BATH, INSTEAD OF WRAPPING UP OR KEEPING IT SEALED, YOU JUST MAKE YOUR SHAPE, or roll out and roll intonlogs , cut it and leave exposed to air for a few days, it dries and works just like the bubble bars, but I add cocoamide DEA to make the bubbles last longer that's it, you guys should try it and let me know how you like it.
