Bubble Bath
Traditional bubble bath has gotten a bad rap lately, with the questionability of the safety of SLS and other surfactants (bubbling agents).

We use SLSa* (sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) as the "bubble" in our bath products. We researched this ingredient and found that there were no health risks involved in it's usage.

Many other bubble bath products use this ingredient, but what sets our product apart from others is that we only use essential oils to scent our bubble bath and no synthetic dyes or colorants. We're not sure why someone would want to soak in artificial fragrances and fd&c colors, but rest assured, we don't use those here!

Coming soon!

* Some further reading on SLSa
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate
Derived from coconut and palm oils; a safe, skin-friendly surfactant (foaming agent) for both skin and hair. This mild plant derived surfactant creates a rich, luxurious lather that effectively removes surface oil, dirt and bacteria, without stripping or drying sensitive skin. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is also hydrophilic. This means it is attracted to water, which enables it to dissolve more readily in water, thus providing superior rinseablility.

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (SLSa) vs. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
Although an ingredient's name may sound similar to another, it does not mean that the molecules are similar with respect to shape, size, performance or even function. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate sounds similar to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, however, the two molecules are quite different from each other. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a large molecule ingredient. Large molecule ingredients are considered to be mild, gentle, and non-irritating, as they cannot penetrate the skin. In contrast, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a small molecule ingredient, and is capable of penetrating the skin, which can increase the occurrence of skin irritation.
