It’s time to celebrate and kick up your heels – if not for the start of a great new week, then for the next major upcoming holiday, Valentine’s! Try using champagne instead of water to thin down our liquid concentrate soap. It makes a great hand soap as well as a fabulously luxuriant bubble bath.
What you’ll need:
8 ounces Liquid Soap Concentrate
4 ounces Champagne
Optional: Glitter
Optional: Champagne fragrance oil The key to making this recipe work is to use an ultra thick bath gel, like Bramble Berry’s Liquid Soap Concentrate or Suspending Soap Base. If you use the Suspending Soap Base, use only 2 to 3 ounces of champagne. The Suspending Base takes extra liquids but in a 1:2 ratio.

Mix all ingredients together slowly and evenly. You need only a small amount of fragrance oil, approximately 6 ml of fragrance in 12 to 16 ounces of soap. If you’re using the Suspending liquid soap base, now is the time to sprinkle in some glitter. The beauty of the Suspending liquid soap base is that it easily suspends heavier additives, like glitter. Most liquid soap bases won’t suspend glitter but the Suspending liquid soap base will.
Hint: the faster you mix, the more bubbles you will whip into your soap. Gentle and patient stirring is the best way to go with this project. After you are done stirring, let the soap sit for ten to twenty minutes to allow all the bubbles to rise to the top of the soap mixture.
Now that the soap has sat, the bubbles should all be sitting at the top of the soap. Give the soap mixture a spritz with rubbing alcohol to get rid of some of those bubbles.
Pour into bottles. If you don’t have a very steady hand, it’s not cheating to use the right tool (a funnel) to complete the job. Lather up with it as a shower gel or use it in the bath for lots of bubbles. Either way, you’ll be bathing in luxury with soap bubbles and champagne bubbles.
