by Lorraine Butler

Look on the shelves of any supermarket today and you will find a whole variety of bath bubble soap to choose from. From the cheap value range to the most expensive branded names. The quality can vary enormously from poor to excellent. With so many options to choose from, it can be a bit daunting to choose a suitable product. With this is mind you may decide to make your own bubble bath. You could make bubble bath soaps as special gifts for your fiends and family.

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.

Once you have made your bubble bath, you need to store it in a non breakable container. You can store your bubble baths for a while. Make extra so you can give them as gifts for family and friends. You can find some really great plastic containers in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes from your local craft store.
