About this deal
Whisk all ingredients together. Drizzle under running water while filling the bath. Super Bubble Bath Vegetable Glycerin: We use vegetable glycerin to make the bars a little more moldable and less likely to break apart. It is also a humectant, which means that it will draw moisture to itself. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. I like to start out with a spoon or spatula and then finish mixing it with my hands. SLSa: SLSa is a natural surfactant that is derived from coconut and palm oils. You will want to be sure to wear a a mask when handling, as the powder gets into the air easily.
Also, the natural oils on our skin help to absorb our vitamin D from the sun. Your skin can take up to 48 hours to fully absorb vitamin D through the skin, so washing too frequently may affect healthy vitamin D levels.The “hygiene hypothesis” states that too few exposures to bacteria and pathogens in early childhood may interfere with proper immune system development. Studies have found that too frequent bathing may indeed lead to asthma, eczema and even diabetes and leukemia. Add all of the dry ingredients (baking soda, citric acid, SLSa, and cream of tartar) to a bowl and mix lightly with a whisk.
Our skin actually houses good bacteria that shouldn’t be washed away too often. That’s why skin-to-skin touching is so important to newborns who are developing their microbiome. But should that obstacle stand in the way of a natural mama and her kids’ bath time? Not in my household.
