wildangel112 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 This one is truly awesome!!! Silky Suds16 oz. baking soda4 oz. citric acid8 oz. sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSA)7 oz. sea salt3.5 oz. dry non-fat milkfragrance oil (25 drops, more or less)skin safe colorant, if desired1. Place baking soda, fo and colorant in a gallon ziplock bag and zip shut. Make sure you squeeze the air out of the bag first. Knead the bag as if you were kneading bread dough. This will help to work in the fo and colorant. You may need to keep adding colorant until you reach the desired shade. Colorant is tricky...you don't want to add too much so add a drop at a time. You can always add more. Remember that you will be diluting the color so to speak when you add the rest of the ingredients.2. Once you've reached your desired color, add the citric acid and SLSA. Again, knead the bag.3. Add your sea salt and dry milk. Again, knead the bag.Add 3 tbsp. to bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnitaG Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I made this last night & it was a fight at this house to see who was going to get the 1st bath with. Well Momma won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawyer's moon Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I made this last night and used it in my bath this morning...and oh my...it was the most decadent bath ever! I had so many bubbles and it was so nice and silky.I used buttermilk powder (because it's what I had on hand...but it did lend a bit of a smell I didn't like) and I used fine DSS - I don't like sitting on salt crunchies. I also used fragrance at 3% which is a lot more than the recommended 25 drops!Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Jen, even tho you used FO you could still smell the buttermilk? I had my mom get me 10 lbs of it because it was so cheap where she lives (she's bringing it down next week when she comes to visit). I didn't realize it had a smell to it.

sawyer's moon Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It did to me...I guess I wouldn't say it was bad...I could just pick it out...does that make sense? I only made a 4oz batch so I'm going to try again with other milk powders. I would think each would have their own unique scent... Who knows - you may really like the scent!Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_amber_woods Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Tried this today! It's AWESOME! My only concern is that mine was very powdery, it poofs up in the air when I open the container and with all that SLSa, it might get into someone's nose! But the bubbles were nice! It was silky and wonderful on the skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyer's moon Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I didn't get the "poofing in the air" thing....did you mix it all together well enough? Je Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Those who are getting the "poof", are you sure you're not working with SLS, and SLSa doesn't poof that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Bunny got me wondering to the point of even going back and checking my SLSA container to make sure of the name. Still wasn't entirely convinced so I went as far as to call The Chemistry Store where I purchased it, and they say it's SLSA. Guess I didn't pummel and knead enough. Next batch I'll really give it whatfor . The poof doesn't bother me, but wouldn't want anyone else getting a nose full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerald_creations Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I really need to buy SLSA now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyer's moon Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I've decided that I cannot live without slsa so whenever I order from the few places that carry it...I make sure to stock up!I'm addicted to anything bubbly - bombs, soaks, etc!Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Remember to wear saftey googles and a mask when working with SLSa I had not heard of doing that. I actually made a milk bath tonight which came out great and it had almost all that the silky suds recipe has minus the salt. I had this recipe in my pm's at the old site so I'm glad you posted this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_amber_woods Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Those who are getting the "poof", are you sure you're not working with SLS, and SLSa doesn't poof that I've seen.Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacate - that's what my package says... and it's a very fine/freeflowing powder that poofs when you open the bag, and the package says to use eye protection and mask when using...Is this not the right stuff?If there is something else out there that does the same thing but with no POOF, lemme know so I can buy that instead.
