About Terry Knorr Expertise I can answer most questions concerning the making of handmade soaps. Those which I cannot answer, I am willing to research for you.
Experience Began making and selling handmade soaps under the name of Earth Soaps in 1994. Have since expanded under the name Good Earth Herbs to 24 different soaps. We do both retail and wholesale business. I also teach two different classes on soapmaking: a basic class and an advanced class.
A few years ago I stumbled across a recipe for homemade bubble bath. I liked how easy the recipe was, so I made some, and fell in love with it. However, I did not keep the recipe. I am 99% sure that there was no soap base, all the ingredients were already in the kitchen. It did call for Gelatin, but aside from that I am unsure. Have you ever heard of this recipe, and if so, can you send it my way? Thanks.

Answer Hi Amanda!
I have not been able to locate a recipe for bubblebath that dosn't use either soap or detergent. However, I did find one that does use gelatin.
Bath Jelly Recipe
An interesting new bath idea!
1 Packet of unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup of liquid soap
3/4 Cup of water
Food Coloring
Fragrance oils or essential oils
Plastic storage jar with lid
Add a small toy into the Jelly before it sets to give the kids an incentive to get to the bottom of the Jelly soap. Dispose of the jelly after several weeks or if mould is present, Avoid mould by keeping it in an airtight container in a cool place at all times.
Empty the packet of gelatin into a bowl and set aside.. Boil 3/4 cup of water using a saucepan or Kettle. Carefully pour the hot water into mixing bowl and mix it with the gelatin powder.Let the gelatin dissolve completely .
Next pour the liquid soap into the gelatin mix in the bowl.
Add 2 drops of food coloring into the mix and also add your fragrance oil now (about 5 drops) and stir it very gently so the bubbles do not become agitated .
Pour the Mix into the clean storage container and allow to set for several hours in the refrigerator
HOW TO USE : Place a small amount of jelly under the running water , a small plastic spoon in the Jar would be a good idea .
