How to Make Vanilla and Honey Foaming Bubble Bath

Vanilla and honey foaming bubble bath is a simple, easily prepared alternative to the expensive bubble bath products that line store shelves. Making your own foaming bubble bath will not only save you money, it can also help to limit your exposure to chemicals, additives and preservatives sometimes found in commercial soaps and bath products. Store unused portions of the vanilla and honey foaming bubble bath in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator between uses.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup almond oil
• 1/2 cup raw honey
• 1/2 cup castile soap
• 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine the almond oil and raw honey in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over low heat for three to four minutes until warm.

2. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Add the castile soap and pure vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon or glass stirrer.

4. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and transfer to a clean plastic or glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid.

Tips & Warnings

• To use, add 1/4 cup of the mixture to your bath. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse the skin with cool water. Pat the skin dry with a clean cotton towel and apply your favorite body moisturizer.

• Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade skin care product in an aluminum or copper container, as there is concern about heavy metals entering the body through the pores.
