This formulation provides light, lacy bubbles with good skin after-feel. In order to get high-quality bubbles in a powder, you need a super-charged surfactant Our anionic surfactant is Sodium Lauryl Sulphoacetate.
This formula can take an additional 10% of add-ins so try adding extra ingredients to soothe and soften skin.
