I admit it. I was bored. So I decided to make some bubble bars. They are really easy and fun to make.

The following is a simple basic bubble bar recipe, that once mastered, can be altered by additional ingredients to create a custom bubble bar.

What you will need to get started:

Dry Ingredients

1 Cup SLSA (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate)

1 Cup Baking Soda

1/3 Cup Cream of Tartar

1/3 Cup Cornstarch

1 Tablespoon Tapioca Starch

The wet and dry ingredients that I used to make bubble bars

Wet Ingredients

1/3 Cup Vegetable Glycerin (more maybe needed)

1 Tablespoon Moisturizing Oil

2 Teaspoons of Fragrance or Essential Oils

5-10 Drops Coloring (Food Coloring, Lab Color, La Bomb Color)

Example of colorants and decorations that can be used.

Equipment

1 Painters Mask or Medical Mask

Gloves (may need additional gloves depending on how many colors are being used)

Large Bowls (may need additional bowls depending on how many colors are being used)

Directions

Combine the SLSA, Baking Soda, Cream of Tartar, and Cornstarch in a large bowl by hand or with a wisk (it is not recommended to use an electric mixer because that can send the powder into the air). You may want to wear a mask because these ingredients are powdery and may irritate sensitive people.

Next, mix the fragrance with the Tapioca Starch and add to the other ingredients.

The Tapioca Starch and essential oils combined.

Add the glycerin, oil and fragrance and mix to the right consistency. The dough should clump together.

Mixing the glycerin and moisturizing oil.

Add in the color and knead until the color is evenly dispersed.

Form the bubble bars into whatever shape you want. You can use a silicone mold, cookie cutters or just hand form.

Allow the bars to dry for at least 2 hours before cutting. After the bars have been cut continue to let them dry for a couple more hours.
