Most of us don’t think of bubble baths much more than the fun and
luxury of them, but natural bubble baths made with minerals and pure
essential oils are extra-special! They actually cleanse and provide
some aromatherapy!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup each baking soda and cream of tartar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Up to 5 drops essential oil per bath (optional)

Combine the baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch in a jar. Use a few tablespoons per bath. Add the essential oil at the time of the bath; otherwise the baking soda will neutralize the scent during storage.

I tried this and didn't get many bubbles. Any suggestions? Is it possible the amounts for cream of tartar and cornstarch should be reversed? Thanks. Kayla
