Tips & variations
Once you have made your bubble bath, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Melt butters and waxes gently over low heat so they keep their goodness.
- Label every batch with the date so you know how fresh it is.
- Do a small patch test first whenever you try a new fragrance or ingredient.
Make it your own: change the fragrance or essential oil, or tweak the colour to suit the season.
