Anyone have a recipe to make your own foaming bath like Aura Cacia's?

My kids really like the Aura Cacia foaming bath (the powder you can buy in the tubs). After reading the ingredients I thought it looked like something you could maybe make yourself. Does anyone have a recipe?

a quick google search produced this:
Fizzing Bath Salts

1/3 cup baking soda
1/4 cup citric acid crystals
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
desired color and essential oil

Yield: 1/2 cup. If you want color or scent, work it into the cornstarch first. Mix ingredients and place in an airtight container. Keep salts dry, moisture will cause them to react and fizz. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the salts into warm tub of water. Like taking a bath in a bottle of champagne.

I came across several recipes like that while searching Google on my own - I'd rather not use cornstarch, though. I'd also like something that had more bubbles and less "fizz" since it seems they like the bubbles the most. I'll just buy some more next time we order.

Thanks, though!

i totally understand. alot of the ones i found have citric acid in them, citric acid makes my allergies worse so i dont use it. its also thought to have some negitive side effects tho according to: darn i cant remember the site and ive lost it on favorites.
