A bubble bath is formed by adding a product containing sodium dodecyl sulfate to the bath water. This is often done to increase the relaxing effects of bathing, or as an added amusement for children at bath time.

Bathing

Bathing, by definition, is the immersion of the body in liquid, usually water. The objective of bathing may be to cleanse, relax or medicate the body. Bathing in modern times, is often a solitary activity, although bathing activities are offered in some prostitution establishments. Public saunas and spas also offer bathing in a social environment. In ancient times, the Greeks and the Romans considered bathing a very important social activity and bathhouses were a central gathering place for intellectual conversation, some even having a library on the premises.
