   1      quart         Water
   1      Bar           grated castille soap
   2      ounces        Coconut oil
   1      ounce         Glycerine

  Any good soap can be used to make bubble bath, but castille generally is
preferred. Before the soap can be made into bubble bath it must be
converted to a liquid.  To do this, grate 1 bar of castille soap into 1
quart of water, warm water helps dissolve the soap faster. Allow the soap
and water to mix well so that you have a liquid soap solution. There are
two ingredients that can convert liquid soap into bubble bath.  These
ingredients can be used together or independently of each other. An
old-fashion way to make bubble bath is to add Glycerine to liquid soap (
soap shaving and water.) Glycerine has the ability to make bubbles and
increase suds. Coconut oil is often used as a substitute for Glycerine,
which is usually much higher priced. Coconut oil is very effective at
creating lather. Both Glycerine and coconut oil are known for their
special skin-softening properties. Source:Making Potpourri Colonges and
