Bubble Bath Balls, bars, Blommetjies & Things (solid bubble bath)

These are really fun to make you can shape them with your hands, mould them or use cookie cutters to shape them. I particularly enjoy making them in silicone moulds, as they pop out nice and easily. So pull out your silicone ice tray moulds or get a mould from us.

As with making fizz balls, you must just get the knack for it.

I also find making these in a fizz ball mould rather nice.

Use gloves so your hands don’t get dry. SLS needles can be irritating to your skin when touching them directly too.

Dry Ingredients

2 Cups Bicarbonate soda

2 Cups cream of tartar

25g sls needles

Wet Ingredients

120 ml Liquid Glycerine

Q.S Liquid soap dye

Fragrance oils

Method

Tip: Place sls needles in your blender to make the needles in a powder form.

In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients well together.

Add your favourite colouring and fragrance oils while mixing.

Slowly start adding the glycerine until it forms a dough type of consistency.

Fill your mould by pressing some of the bubble bar into your mould, removing any excess from the sides.

Wait about an hour. Upon removing the bubble bar if you see it has cracked, don’t panic. Just add more glycerine to it.

Let it dry out for 2 days on some wax paper.

Notes For Creams/ Lotions & Gels: De-ionised water is water that has been purified via the reverse osmosis method. It is cost effective and expands the shelf life of your products.

The option of using a preservative such as Kemaben (paraben) is available from fun with soap.

For products made for yourself in small batches it is not necessary to use parabens for a preservative.

Wheatgerm oil is a natural Preservative so you could use this as an alternative.

If you don’t have access to clean water you can purchase hikers drops or tablets from outdoor /camping stores to purify your water.

Ensure the water is very hot…not rapidly boiling but hot.

Triethanolamine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Triethanolamine, often abbreviated as TEA, is an organic chemical compound which is both a tertiary amine and a tri-alcohol. A tri-alcohol is a molecule with three hydroxyl groups. Like other amines, triethanolamine acts as a weak base due to the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. Triethanolamine can also be abbreviated as TEOA, which can help to distinguish it from triethylamine.

Production

Triethanolamine is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with aqueous ammonia; the reaction also produces monoethanolamine and diethanolamine. The ratio of the products can be controlled by changing the stoichiometry of the reactants.^[1]

Applications

This ingredient is used as a pH balancer in cosmetic preparations in a variety of different products - ranging from skin lotion, eye gels, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving foams etc.

Another common use of TEA is as a complexing agent for aluminium ions in aqueous solutions. This reaction is often used to mask such ions before performing what is called a complexometric titration with another chelating agent such as EDTA (EthyleneDiamineTetraAcetic acid), which will form stable complexes with most metallic ions.

Triethanolamine (TEA) is also used as organic additive (0.1 wt. %) in the grinding of cement clinker. It is proved to be very effective to facilitate the grinding process by preventing agglomeration and coating of the powder at the surface of balls and mill wall. ^[2] To what extent could TEA complex heavy metals and radionuclides encapsulated in cement matrix and so could increase their solubility remains an open question.

Various ear diseases and infections are treated with eardrops containing triethanolamine polypeptide oleate-condensate, such as Cerumenex in the United States.

TEA is listed under Schedule 3, part B of the Chemical Weapons Convention as it can be used in the manufacture of nitrogen mustards.

Safety

"As with any amines, it may have the potential to create nitrosamines, but with the low concentrations used in cosmetic products the chances of that happening is very slim and it is further theorized that nitrosamines cannot penetrate the skin."^[3]
