Combine all ingredients in a bottle with a lid. It's probably better to use a plastic bottle if you plan to store it in the bathroom. Shampoo is another great option because it foams really well and is somewhat natural, so it should be safe to use in the bath. Again, choose a brand that’s known for using clean ingredients, without things like parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. My favorite shampoo brands for bubble bath are Alba and Puracy . SLSa Epsom salts: Those with tired, aching muscles, perhaps add ½ cup of Epsom salts to the blend. These magnesium-rich minerals have a ton of health benefits, from helping to relieve cramps to strengthening the skin barrier. That said, it's no surprise integrative medicine doctor Bindiya Gandhi, M.D., is also a fan of an Epsom salt soak.

Transfer the mixture to a clean bottle or jar with a lid and shake it well to distribute the ingredients evenly. Tips for Taking a Bubble Bath Save Some Green also makes plastic-free, biodegradable tooth floss. Made from either silk, or a vegan charcoal version, the floss is infused with peppermint essential oil to keep teeth super clean, and breath fresh. Despite what you might have read elsewhere on the internet, Castile soap is a horrible (really horrible!) homemade bubble bath. Because it’s a mild, oil-based soap with very little sudsing ability, you’ll be hard-pressed to get any bubbles out of it. Oh, and it turns the water gray, which makes your soaking experience a little gross. Baby Shampoo The other eco-friendly option would be to bulk-buy ingredients and make your own bath bombs. This recipe from Good Food is one I’ve used in the past with great success. Bubble Bath Bars

For a vegan-friendly option, Funky Soap offers bubble bath in glass bottles in a variety of scents. Refill Stores Once you let out your bath, these toxic chemicals are flushed down the drain where they eventually make their way into our waterways and oceans, poisoning marine life and destroying underwater ecosystems.

DIY Bubble Bars Store-bought bubble bath is often full of nasty ingredients that can irritate the skin and cause breakouts. That’s why you should always aim to make your own! This recipe is especially suited for sensitive skin. Eco-friendly bath salts are not only made from natural ingredients, but many also contain additional ingredients to soothe sore joints and muscles.

Additional Bubble Bath Ingredients

Combine the hot water and SLSa powder in a glass measuring cup or bowl. Whisk until the SLSa is completely dissolved. Because the acid component in this experiment is citric acid, it allows the production of one of the products to be sodium citrate. That is the stuff referred to as the “salt.” In this experiment, the base (sodium hydrogen carbonate) has a carbonate component; hence carbon dioxide is also formed. Dentists recommend you change your toothbrush every three to four months – so for a family of four, that's 16 pieces of plastic going to landfill every year. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the oatmeal powder is evenly distributed. For added fragrance, consider stirring in a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, transfer the oatmeal bubble bath mixture into a clean container with a tight-fitting lid. Honey Bubble Bath Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, and pour ¼ to ½ cup under running water. You can keep any excess in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Why it works

If you’ve hung around the beauty scene long enough, you’ve probably heard of SLS (sodium laureth sulfate), a chemical surfactant often used in bath bombs, shampoo bars, and toothpaste. It gets a bad rap because it can easily irritate the eyes, skin, and lungs and should be avoided if you have sensitive skin.Single-use wet wipes may contain plastics or other non-biodegradable materials, and could take 100 years or more to break down in landfill. When flushed, they also clog sewers and end up polluting riverbanks. Almond oil: Almond oil is high in essential fatty acids, which help dissolve excess oil on the skin and improve skin tone [ source]. It’s loaded with retinoids that increase cell turnover and make skin appear younger.

The next replacement to make is shampoo. There are now plenty of solid shampoo bars on the market, and most are inexpensive and long-lasting – as well as leak-free, so great for travel. Finding a bar that suits you can take some time. If you have sensitive skin or an itchy, flaky scalp, bars from the Funky Soap Shop * are highly recommended: try Oatmilk and Argan *, or Aloe Vera and Neem oil. They also make a fragrance-free solid conditioner especially formulated for sensitive scalps.If you want a relaxing soak in the tub with delicious scents, bath salts make a fantastic and sustainable alternative to eco friendly bubble bath. If you and/or your kids prefer bathing in a cloud of bubbles then there are still plastic-free bubble bath options out there. Bubble bath bars, for example, are bars that you crumble a little bit off of and sprinkle into running water for luxurious bubbles. Or try a long-lasting bamboo toothbrush from Australian company The Other Straw . These brushes feature an innovative design with a detachable brush head – so only the small top section needs replacing. Do this every few months, keeping the bamboo handle to reuse again and again. For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions react together to form water and sodium chloride solution. The acid contains H + ions and Cl – ions, and the alkali contains Na + ions and OH – ions. The H + ions and OH – ions produce the water, and the Na + ions and Cl – ions produce the sodium chloride, NaCl(aq).
