Making Bubble Bath
Description

Note
Coconut oil can be used as a substitute for glycerine if a richer lather is desired, though glycerine is generally preferred for its skin-softening properties.
Any good natural soap can be used, but Castile soap is generally preferred for its gentle formulation.
Store the bubble bath in a cool, dry place. Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
For a lavender-scented bath, use violet floral oil or lavender essential oil instead of standard perfume.
