Mom2 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Anyone have a good bath syrup recipe? I would like to have a thicker type of syrup. I found a formula that just uses glycerin, Jojoba and castor oil. Would I have to use castor oil? I understand that castor oil has a horrible smell and is hard to cover up. Any ideas? All I really want is a really thick bubble bath more or less.eta: I found that I could use polysorbate 80 instead. Any other thoughts on a how to make a thick bath syrup?

Mom2, Polysorbate is an emulsifier and wouldn't be used as a replacement for castor oil. Castor oil is a wonderful cleansing and moisturizing oil. I use it in so many of my products, it doesn't have a bad smell at all but you can substitute just about any light to medium oil for it. I would use rice bran oil, or another oil that disperses easily in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I second Coco with the castor oil, mine doesn't smell bad either, barely has any smell at all & I love it in my HP soaps.Never heard of bath syrup over here tho.Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
