Bubble bath

Bubble baths are used for skin cleansing and refreshment. Foam, odor, and color of the bath serve the well -being, relaxation and refreshment. Bubble baths are mostly liquid and mainly contain detergent surfactants. The foam is primarily used to bathing experience and defatting, the Pflegeffekt is compared to oil baths, baths active low.

Application

According to the manufacturer, the cap of the bottle is used for portioning most. If you want to relax, is usually a bath water temperature is between 36 - 38 ° C selected. Serves the bubble bath for refreshment, one chooses a lower temperature ( 28-34 ° C) for the bath water. If the intention is a strong foaming, you are giving the bath preparation at the beginning of the water intake in the bathtub added. If one wishes a lower foaming the addition is almost filled in the bathroom.

Bathing time should be limited to about 15 minutes, otherwise the skin becomes too strong degreased or leached.

Saturated oxygen baths - bubbles in water

Bubbles in the water are generated either by the mechanical aeration or with solids which produce gas. For mechanical aeration nozzles are in some cases used for stirring up of the water, provided for this purpose devices are either permanently or temporarily mounted in the bath or the pool, called Whirlpool. The solids may be small balls or granules so-called bath bombs (also called " Bathfizzies " ) be. They produce carbon dioxide when a carbonate or a Bikarbotnat with an organic acid react.

It is possible to produce baths, bubble at the same time ( as in beer ) and wear foam, but the combination has not been enforced. The mechanical aeration would produce too much foam in a bubble bath - the internet is full of stories firsthand and photos of such experiences - and many spas are rented, so they are not drained between two uses and should be kept free of materials that do not belong. In hot tubs to removal of tissue from the body of the burnt offerings typically anti-smoking agents are included to counteract the film-forming process, which have some medicinal additives to side effect, but it is sometimes reduced or omitted to give them a pleasant diversion for children to facilitate in wound care. Bathfizzies that also foam, tend to produce disappointingly little foam when it is allowed to hiss, and the aeration of the water takes them each gas.

Bubbles on water

Bubble created by the addition of products containing surfactants, water, and through the temporary aeration ( by moving the water, usually with only one faucet, running out of water in the basin ). This practice is very popular, because the foam bath water is isolated and thus keeps you warm longer. Additionally, the foam is reduced (as a lime soap solvent) depositions in the bathtub and under the water surface (→ water hardness), which can be caused by soap and mineral content. The foam can the body of the Bader hide what looks moral, or create the impression in the theater or in movies that an actor bathes normal, although he actually contributes something. Especially for the children's bubble bath is very popular, it motivates them to swim.

In the German language the term bubble bath instead, is more for the foam on the water.

Bath for this purpose hot bath foam or bubble bath and often contain substances that meet the additional purposes (eg, refreshment, relaxation ). The bath products are in liquid form and in a dry, compressed form (eg, bath balls, bath heart ) available. In much higher concentrations ( for example on a washcloth ), the materials can also be used to wash skin and hair, sometimes marketed (especially in liquid form ), so they are for different uses; in a few cases as a budget such as a mild detergent for hand washing or to avoid Kalkabsetzungen in the bathtub ( foaming or non-foaming ).

History

In earlier times the body cleansing of man in streams, lakes has been made. When Greeks and Romans were great bathhouses, spas, built. Baths have been used for a long time. However, only with the spread - since 1960 - of synthetic surfactants, the foam production, the use of fragrances and dyes in the bath water possible.

Effervescent bath products have been popular as a foaming bath salts in the early 20th century; the "bath bomb" until late in this century. The earliest foam baths are frothed with soap, a practice that became common shortly after the marketing of soap flakes. Also saponins were used for foaming of oxygen-saturated ( bubbly ) bubble bath. Later, bubble baths, the surface-active substances contained known; an early- released product with alkyl sulfate was used in 1936 in the original production of the play "The Women ", but it is possible that since the marketing by the company Dreft of 1933 a similar mix for the production of bath foam was used on photos. After the mass marketing of products in supermarkets around the 1960s bubble baths have been the standard method to bathe children. In the U.S., the brand " Bub " was marketed in the UK, the brand " Matey " and in Germany Badedas since shortly before 1960.

Machines powered, bubbling baths originated in the early 20th century for therapeutic use, but were used with the introduction of the hot tub near the circle. The trends mingled, as the group hot tub, heated initially still water ( hot tub ), popular as a communal whirlpool bath was. In the late 20th century jet -powered hot tubs had become very popular for home use.
