Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hey Gayla, That decyl polyglucose that I carry is really great for making easy bubble baths. The simplest way to use it to basically just add fragrance! Of course you could make more complex formulas with it, but it works by itself well too! *Smile* Chris Think left and think right and think low and think high.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi Gayla, Try Christine's Decyl Polyglucose... you can dilute it and add fragrance. I've been using it straight out of the bottle for my daughter and it has produced fabulous bubbles and did not aggravate (sp) her excema. so chris, when's our next pre-buy??? ~Bonnie - " Gayla Roberts " <goatclearing Thursday, November 10, 2005 4:15 PM need unscented bubble bath I am looking for a source of unscented bubble bath so I can add my own fragrances.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 So, what do you dilute the Decyl Polyglucose with--oils, water, juices, gels, etc etc etc? I have no idea how to use this but it may work for things I need here.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi Bonnie: How much water (distilled ?) would you use to dilute it, do you know ? I think I would rather dilute it and save some money but still get the bubbles enough for baths.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 you can use the decyl polyglucose full strength ... or stretch it by adding any amount of water ... i wouldn't go any further than 50-50 as i think the decyl gets too thin, although i think the " recommded " usage rate is actually 50% or less decyl polyglucose, but i don't have the MSDS in front of me. also, for bubble baths i am not convinced that diluting with water really " stretches " it b/c then you need to add more of your mixture to get the same amount of bubbles. water also introduces the yeasties and bacterias, so my MO has been to " dilute " with water at bath time! you can use oils, but i haven't been successful in getting them to stay mixed (at least not with oil AND water AND decyl polyglucose). probably just oil and decyl would mix ok, but i haven't tried it yet. i had really good luck doing equal parts natural shampoo paste/base, decyl, and water. a friend of mine had made the base from the Natural Liquid Soaps book whose author I can't put my finger on at this exact moment. i believe it was cocoa butter, coconut oil, castor oil, jojoba saponified with Potassium Hydroxide Lye (although i am not sure if she actually saponified or just melted it all together and called it a shampoo base!); you can probably find a similar base either through Chris or one of the other vendors on the list. if you're also interested in shampoo but don't feel like making your own base. but, mainly i've been too busy all summer and fall to experiment so i've just been running about 1 tsp of decyl polyglucose under water and agitating and coming up with great bubbles. if you dilute, you'll need to use a little more. and don't forget to agitate the water in the bath tub right after you add it to the running bath water. it makes a HUGE difference in how much wonderful bubbly foam you get. a small " inconvenience " for getting that much suds from an all natural, very gentle surfactant, imho. And now, after 6 months of meaning to do something more interesting than just use it straight out of the bottle ... i need more!!!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hey Bonnie, that sounds great to me ! I think I'll give it a try and see what I can come up with. I love the fact that it's much more gentle as well. Thank you for all the help with this. I sure appreciate it very much. You have a great weekend and do all the things you want to.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I would probably dilute it with sterile water or distilled water. My DH would undoubtedly use 1/2 of a 12 ounce bottle for 1 bath! LOLOLOLOLOL Thanks!!
