Homemade Bubble Bath

Who doesn’t enjoy a homemade gift or two?  I recently saw a foaming bath soap on Paula Deens website and did a little tweaking to bring this homemade bubble bath recipe to you.  Have you ever made a bubble bath?  This was the first time for me and I’m excited as to how well it turned out.   So, what do you say? Let’s make some Homemade Honey Bubble Bath.

Homemade Honey Bubble Bath.  Great gift idea! Find the recipe at livelaughrowe.com

Homemade Honey Bubble Bath Recipe:

1 cup baby oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup hand soap or shampoo (preferably unscented)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
plastic squeeze bottles

In a bowl, add the oil and stir in the remaining ingredients until well blended.  Pour mixture into plastic squeezable bottle.  Be sure to shake before us, as ingredients will separate and settle a bit in the bottle.

Yields two 8 oz. bottles.

A couple of things to note.  I hunted for unscented shampoo and hand soap, but had a difficult time finding it.  So, I found a Honey Vanilla hand wash and it worked perfectly, complimenting the current ingredients.    I used homemade vanilla extract, courtesy of Tidy Mom.  My plastic bottles measure 2″ in diameter and 6-1/2″ in height (purchased at The Container Store).  The bubble bath smells delightful and your skin will feel moisturized after you soak in the bath relaxing!

If you’d like to  dress up your homemade bubble bath before gifting, head on over to the World Label blog where I’m sharing the FREE Honey Bubble Bath printable labels!

Enjoy. Relax…and pass it on!

      Coconut oil is not good for the plumbing. If it solidifies it will stick in the pipes like grease. Better to use a light oil like peanut oil or grape seed oil, or maybe even olive oil would work.

    I think I will try this with just a few modifications. Instead of baby oil, I will use olive oil and instead of hand soap or shampoo, I will use Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap 🙂

    Dear, tina: AVON sucks! lol

    and i also have a question about this recipe.
    i am wondering if you think liquid castile soap would work as well as the hang soap did for this recipe?
    or did you use a hand soap on purpose because there’s already a percentage of water in hand soap?

    thanks for any answers , this looks like a super cool recipe by the way!

      Hi there! THanks so much for stopping by. I would think liquid castile soap would work. I’ve never worked with it before and hand soap seemed to be a good fit. You might have to experiment, but it’s worth a try. Let me know how it goes if you don’t mind 🙂 Have a lovely day!

      Hi Beth! I hunted for unscented shampoo and hand soap, but had a difficult time finding it. So, I found a Honey Vanilla hand wash and it worked perfectly. Hope that helps 🙂

  30. Robert says

    05/12/2014 at 2:22 pm

    I guarantee Dr. Bronner’s, or any soap made of actual soap, won’t work as bubble bath except in the softest of waters or largest of amounts. One person who tried a similar recipe using it & coconut oil not only got no foam, but the coconut oil froze in the drain pipe, clogging it! So make sure the “soap” you use is NOT real soap.

    And don’t use an oil whose melting point the temperature in your drain pipe is likely to go below.

    If I were to add evaporated milk to this recipe for a “milk and honey” bubble bath, how much evaporated milk do you think I should add?

    • Kelly Rowe says

      Hi Libby 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. I honestly have no idea being that I’ve not done it myself. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.

    • Robert says

      12/08/2014 at 1:58 pm

      I don’t know the exact answer, but I know the consideration that limits it. What we have here is a honey-preserved solution. The alcohol in the vanilla extract won’t be enough to preserve it, and the baby oil practically doesn’t count in figuring the dilution of the sugars from the honey. If we trust the original formulator of this recipe (which may or may not be a good idea), it would seem a 1:1 mixture of honey and liquid soap is adequately stable. At some point the add’l water from the evaporated milk will be enough to set the mixture on the path to spoilage; I just don’t know how close to that path you are already without it. If you were to use dry milk powder there’d be no such drawback.

    So, I am in love with this recipe. I typically can’t afford buying veggie glycerin over just buying bar soap, but this is all stuff that I already have at home! Yay! I will definitely be making this soon (like yesterday); it seems so calming and goodness knows I need to do more of this “relaxing” you speak of. Thank you so much!
