There are a variety of bubble bath soaps that are on the market today. Some are good, some are bad, some are expensive and some are reasonably priced. However, if you feel a bit overwhelmed by all the options out there then you should consider making your own bubble bath. You can also give fun bubble bath soaps to friends and family as special gifts.

The ingredients that are contained in bubble bath soaps are not that hard to find in grocery stores or health food stores. You can also look online and find all the ingredients you will need. Overall the ingredients are relatively reasonably priced.

Many benefits can be had by making your own bubble bath. Firstly, you know the contents of the bottle. Any known allergans can be omitted from your bubble bath soap. Secondly, you will be assured that only fresh, natural products have been used. Thirdly, you know that your product was not tested on animals, is environmentally friendly and hasn't been gathering dust on a shelf for two years. You know exactly what is in it.

Making your own bubble bath soap means spending time finding the right essential oils to use. The oils add scent to your bubble bath and is the reason for choosing a particular scent. These are very concentrated oils so only a few drops are necessary. Chamomile, lavender, rosewood, myrhh, marjoram and frankincense tend to be the most popular. These are calming oils which will help to relax. Peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lemon oils are energizing. More information can be found online from the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy.

The next thing that you want to take care of when making your bubble bath is using something that will soften your skin. Coconut oil and almond oil are really great because it will moisturize your skin and help soften it. Coconut oil is already scented and has a nutty and floral fragrance. However, Almond oil is unscented so can easily be added with your other essential oils without changing the scent.

Your bubble bath will need to be stored in non breakable containers. Your local art and craft store should have some really great containers. These days they come in all colors, shapes and sizes. In this way they can be stored for a while. If you are going to give your bubble baths as gifts to your friends and family, be sure to make some extra.
