A very simple recipe for making your own foam baths using Liquid Crystal concentrate.YOU'LL
NEED..... HOW
TO..... This concentrated base has the additional benefit of being fully preserved to accept dilution with tap water up to 3:1. Measure out the desired quantity of foam bath concentrate into the bucket/tub, remembering the final volume/weight will be 4 times the starting volume/weight (scales are useful. 1 litre = 1 kilo for these purposes). Calculate as accurately as possible maximum 4% by volume of your desired fragrance or blend of essential/fragrance oils and add to the base, whisking/stirring it in (once diluted this will become 1%). Important...do not exceed this % age, especially with citrus-based oils and fragrances. Geranium oil or oils with a high Geraniol content may not work well in this base, so avoid them. Add clean water, steadily, a little at a time, stirring/whisking gently, until EXACTLY 4 times the original weight is shown on the scale (1Kg base to 3 Kg of clean water, making 4 Kg of foam bath/shower gel) and the consistency becomes that of a typical foam-bath (it will not be completely clear at this stage). Add a few drops of your desired liquid colour or blend of colours and whisk/stir in. You may also choose to add a small quantity of pearliser. Place the lid on the bucket/tub and leave overnight until it settles and becomes clear. Bottle as required. This can be a slow process if using a funnel.
