peppermint Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I just received my bubble bath from BCN and it is so runny after I add FO and doesn't bubble:mad: . I was wondering if any one has tried Natures Garden or Just Scent??Thanks EveryoneSuzanne H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I haven't tried those, but I tried one from MMS that was very runny. It sort of makes me mad because they know that FO is going to be added. I played around with it too and it even adding a little bit of FO made it thin. You can buy a thickner if you want to try to salvage it, but I don't think we should have too. I am going to try JS or GL's I think soon. Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but just wanted to tell you I feel your pain.

heirloomoriginals Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I wasn't real pleased with BCN's bubble bath either, the bubbles didn't last long.Here is a thread from last week that might help:http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22265&highlight=bubble+bathI am thinking of trying the Wholesale Supplies Plus bubble wash concentrate. It can be used as bubble bath or shower gel, so you might get more use out of your money.HTH,Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synascents Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I know with NG's it does get runny after the FO's is put in it.Per 8 oz, I would use no more than 2 drops.HTH someStephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Just today, I made bubble bath with BC's base for the 1st time. I was very disappointed. It got very thin. It says not to heat it, but how do you get the FO stirred in. I have always used WSP's and it is great. No thinning. I know I will go back to WSP.

cindym Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I agree WSP's bubble bath and crystal clear shower gel rock. I have had no problems coloring or scenting them, no separation just use thier guidlines . My customers love them. I do not heat them at all.

kdc Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Could you tell me what kind of color do you use when you make lotion and bubble bath? Is it the same as candles? I have been making candles for a long time, but I'm just now getting into bath products.Thankskdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 You need to get a skin safe colorant for lotions and such. Candle colorant is not skin safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 i think different tubs and water pressure can make the difference on good bubbling as well as the base itself. i have used BC's for years and haven't had it thin out unless i go over the recommended amount of fo. the bubbles last longer than any of us stay in the tub. but i do have a deep tub so the distance from the faucet is further, and gives more force to create good bubbles...but i've never had a customer complain...i don't think they really think about the thickness as much as we do...just like wet spots,lolBugtussle, i pour some base into a large ziploc, add fo and dye, close securely and "smush" until it's well blended, then snip the bottom corner and pour into bottles.

peppermint Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 The only reason I haven't tried WSP is because their shipping cost and I don't order anything else from them. So it is really double the price. Here are my findings so far. Bnc bubble bath turns very watery and doesn't bubble well. The BNC Aloe shower gel bubbles ok but doesn't last long. It does hold the FO and color and doesn't thin, so I will just stick to it as a shower gel. The JS LIQUID GLYCERIN SOAP BASE Bubbles really nice and they last long and it stays thick after FO.Thanks for all your input!!Suzanne H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc26 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I haven't tried JS or NG's bubblebath. I use wsp's and am very satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I agree, WSP all the way. I love their stuff. Their bubble bath stays thick after adding FO and bubbles nicely. Their clear shower gel rocks as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
