A nice adult bubble bath?? UPDATE  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for an ADULT-type bubble bath that isn't too perfumy which is proving to be impossible. I'd love something more natural with EOs. I really like the bubbles and most bath stuff I find that's natural is just a soak but no bubbles.
The closest I've come is California Baby stuff since it has nice smells but thought I'd ask if anyone knows of anything else?
Or I'd love a recipe too if you make it!
Thanks
Ann

I lvoe the bubble bars from LUSH;

You just break off a bit of the bar and crumble it into the water. There are a lot of natural ingredients in them, including EO's. All the ingredients are written on the website. They make serious bubbles, so be careful if you buy some! You only need a little bit of bar. I make one bar last about 6 or 7 baths.

I really like the California Baby "calm" scent.
They use EO's of Lavender and Clary Sage (clary is noted as an aphrodisiac sp? for adults )
It is marketed for children, but as an adult, I just love it!

Most anything you get that has lasting bubbles in the tub is going to have a surfactant of some sort - most likely SLSA or SLS - including the lush bars. If you just want the scent, you can get either a tub truffle or a bath bomb - both of these are generally just citric acid, sodium bicarb (baking soda) an oil or butter and a fragrance. They will fizz but won't give you lasting bubbles.

I thought this thread had some decent suggestions on bubble baths:

Wasn't sure if you saw it already or not.

My favorite bath products are from a company called EO. They don't have any SLS, but they do have "less than 1% parabens", which I am OK with. (I'm gradually trying to stay away from those, but since I don't take bubble baths every day I think it's OK that my favorite bubble bath has less than 1%).

(PS I love the rose chamomile. I want to try the others, especially the cederwood, but I haven't... I go through bubble bath very slowly, and I don't buy any new ones til I am close to running out of something!)

I like to know when people are happy with the recommendations from here so thought I'd let you know what I tried.
I ordered bubble bath and hair products from http://www.eoproducts.com/ and I LOVE them! The ylang and cedarwood bath stuff is my favorite-light scent but calming and LOTS of bubbles. The citrus hair conditioner is awesome too. I also got the rose/chamomile bubble bath and it's nice too-i just like the other better.
Fast svc too-had them in about 3-4 days.
Just wanted to share-thanks!
Ann

Thanks, Ann - the ylang-ylang/ cedarwood was the next one I was thinking about trying!
