How to Make Bath Powder: Bubble Bath & Body Wash In One!

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 08:19:33 +0000

Today I'm showing you how to make dry body wash & you can also use it as bubble bath. I call it "Scrub & Bubbles" (like the cleaner) for short. This stuff is awesome, easy to make, & you're going to love it!

I'm making avocado-themed scrub & bubbles, but make any kind that you want! This is a "soft" recipe (you don’t have to follow it exactly). Feel free to change ingredients & adjust amounts. I encourage it!

RECIPE: 30 grams baking soda, 30 grams citric acid, 30 grams [any type] clay (kaolin), 10 grams avocado powder, 10 grams sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSa) [or sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, or sodium coco sulfate] + 7 milliliters fragrance oil, 10 milliliters alcohol [aids in a drier/rougher texture], & 20 milliliters liquid surfactant [to activate mix] (I used castile soap, but Cocamidopropyl Betaine is better; it's a foam booster & makes bubbles last longer). *** I didn’t add polysorbate 80, but you should add 2-4 milliliters if adding mica, especially dark mica powder. * Only add small amounts of Ingredients that have a tendency to stick together, like coconut milk powder. This is why I only added 10 grams of Avocado powder. * The baking soda/citric acid are crucial- they create a coarse texture. The slsa creates rich foam, thick later, & bubbles.

DIRECTIONS: Sieve dry ingredients together. Mix fragrance & alcohol and add it to dry ingredients. Mix well. Lay it flat & spread it out. Dry 1 hour. Pour mixture into bowl. Add 20 milliliters liquid surfactant to make powder react & puff up. This will create a hard/rough texture once it's dry (a great pouring consistency). Mix everything together well. Lay the mixture flat on paper & spread it out. *Speed up drying time by periodically breaking up chunks throughout the drying process*. Dry it completely (24 - 48 hours). Once it's completely dry, sieve it. For a smoother consistency, blend it - but not too much; allow some rough texture to remain so it pours easily. To make sparkling & colorful layers, take about 1/3 - 1/4 of the mix & divide it. Add color/mica to each. Each time you pour powder in, pack the jar (pack at an angle for diagonal layers).

This recipe fills a 4.5 ounce jar. It should last a while (a year or more).

What if mixture isn't drying? Give it sufficient time to dry (this may take 2-3 days). After, try the following remedies: Re-wet the mixture with alcohol & allow it to dry. Re-wet the mixture with a liquid surfactant & allow it to dry. Add more dry ingredients, like citric acid (it's the perfect pouring texture). If it's still not drying, you may want to throw it out & start over.
