LUSH Bubble Bars

[Lindy]

Okay - a thread in the Soap Forum made me look closer at these Bubble Bars. from what I could discover through researching the names it looks like they are using 3 surfacants in these. Is there a reason you would need 3 different surfacants? Would one do? The rest just looks like a Bath Bomb ingredient list. Is this right or am I over-simplifying?

TIA
Lindy

I'm not up on my surfactant technology, but I imagine that you get different types of bubblage from them, and as well they contribute differently to the texture of the bubble bar. I have some SLSa here that is a seriously dry powder that bubbles like no tomorrow, and some SCI which is waxy and not quite as bubbly...

Thanks Carebear - I just ordered a Surfacant that is supposed to bubble like crazy & be conditioning....so here's what I'm thinking - I would use one of my bath bomb recipes, add the surfacant and press into a full size soap mold.....would that make a bubble bar?

don't know... I don't play in that arena much.

but you've made me curious so let me know what you got and how it goes...

 

[Lindy]

Oh yeah - they got my curiousity up too which is why I looked up all the ingredients to try and understand what's in them......now I just have to make them....

Hi Lindy!

You may find this link interesting. I haven't made them but Jude at Aussie Soap always tests recipes before posting them.

I have made a fizzy bath melt of my own devising and loved them, but not the same as a bubble bar :wink:
