Can my Daughter take a bath in Dish soap?
Or do you know where I can find cheap bubble bath?

She is 12.........But, she just saw a movie...Aquamarine I believe. She wants bubbles like that and she has been experimenting with all of our soap in our house. I just dont want her to use dish soap if It is going to hurt her. But Shampoo really works? I'll have to have her try that. Thanks so far guys!

Sure, you can.
Liquid soap called JOY has a reputation for producing the most bubbles, and is good for bubble-blowing. You do NOT need to use much, as they bubble up very well, so whichever brand you choose, mix only a small amount into the water and let her enjoy the bubbles.
Three cautions:
1-
Rinse her well after the bath to avoid residue and skin irritation.
2-
Be careful in how much you use, as it is not good for the eyes , and also not good for the skin if used repeatedly, but an occasional use, with minimal quantity used, should do no harm to the skin.
3-
Most of the current crop of brand-name dish soaps have been on the market for some time, and many thousands of people have used them on their hands. Most people do not react, or only a little, ( although some do have strong reactions,) but the concentration of soap when doing dishes is considerably higher than you need to have for making a bubble bath.
NOTE that some sensitive areas of the body are more sensitive than hands and may not react well with any detergent, so you must first apply a minimal amount of the mixture, meaning a couple of drops of pre-mixed soap/water, to the skin and see if there is any skin response, before trying a full bath.

Actually, if your daughter wants a 'really bubbly bubble bath' I doubt there are any 'bubble baths' sold that would do as good as what I used to use when my daughter wanted LOTS of bubbles ... shampoo. You could use 'dish soap' too, but I'd worry about how that could 'dry' a child's skin ... and I think that you'd be 'best off' if you 'rinsed her off' in pure clean water after she's done with her bubble bath ... just make sure it's not too hot and not too cold.

I wouldn't..might be too harsh for her skin...try a bar of dove unscented soap...it's inexpensive and it's gentle on their skin, it also has moisturizer so you won't be drying out her skin. I was trying all the name brand baby soaps and my pediatrician told me to try Dove soap. I have been using it since, I bathe her every other day and her skin is never dry, even during the winter.
I don't know if they still make this anymore but I remember Mr. Bubble from when I was a kid...it made a ton of bubbles

No, bubble bath isn't even good for girls to use all the time. Dish soap could irritate her skin.

I wouldn't...kids' skin is waaaay more sensitive than ours...also, if you are not using an infant soap, there is always the possibility of her contracting irritation or infection...read bubble bath labels they do warn about genitourinary problems and I don't imagine dish soap would be much better...at least ask her pediatrician first.

I wouldn't recomend it. It's not good for girls to take alot of bubble baths even in the stuff that is made for baths. Can lead to infections. Plus, the dish soap will burn if she gets it in her eyes.

no, i wouldnt wash her in dish soap, because that could give her a rash, or she could break out. Sometimes it can even cause urinary track infections if you use a bad soap while taking a bath. get something more sensitive like baby bubble bath or soap or something.

no, it'll irritate her skin, and with a girl, baths with harsh soaps can give her uti. Walmart sells cheap bubble bath for kids in these jumbo sized bottles, so try that.

I would think dish soap would be to harsh on babies/childs skin. Childs skin contains more moisture. This can dry out childs skin. It could even break the child out.

I would not recomend it, seeing that her skin would be very dry after that. You need to get baby bath soap.
