Brand I Tried: Bubble and Bee Organic
Product: Empty Foamer Bottles
Product Description: (directly from their website) Stretch your shampoos and shower gels further with a foamer bottle. Comes with instruction booklet and recipe ideas.We don't add water to our shower gels and shampoos, so they're super concentrated. Just a little bit of shower gel added to a foamer bottle with some water (or an herbal infusion) will give you a nice rich lather. Have a shower gel hog in your family that likes to use a LOT of gel? Now you can make your bottles last longer by using the foamer bottle. A fine wire mesh pumps air in to the mixture, creating a lather that comes right out of the pump. Makes it easy to shave and clean--no lathering needed, so it saves time. (Hey, every 30 seconds count, right?). One 8 oz bottle of shower gel diluted as directed will fill the foamer bottle 8 times. BPA-free plastic. Because the wire mesh in the foaming mechanism is fragile, you can expect this bottle to last from 3 to 4 refills.
- Price: $7.99 for a Three Pack.
- Size: 6 oz. each
- Uses: Concentrated products like castile soaps, shampoo, body wash, face wash, hand soap, dish soap, shaving foam, etc... your options are almost endless!
- Amount Of Product Used For It To Be Effective: You usually only have to fill the bottle 1/3 to 1/2 of the way with product and the rest with distilled or filtered water.
- Texture: If it's too thin and runny- fill it with more product, if it's too ruch and thick add more water. The beauty of these bottles is that you can custom mix them however you want!
- Easy To Find And Where? Bubble & Bee Organic
- Sample, Trial, Travel Sizes?: This is the only size they offer because they want you to use the product in a short amount of time since you are adding water to your product without a preservative! You should use this up within about two weeks. If I know we won't be home or go away on vacay- I usually mix only about a half of a bottle.
- Verdict: At first, I thought who the hell would pay that for empty bottles? Well, I did. Yes, this review is for empty bottles LOL. But, I can admit when I'm wrong. These bottles make things sudsy without the suds, even in products that don't contain SLS. With one pump they give you a luxuriously rich lather. I have since filled these bottles several more times than Bubble and Bee says you can and I've filled them with just about everything under the sun! I love that they came with a little instruction and recipe booklet, which really helped! Such great ideas...who knew? Hence, saving me more money than I could have imagined... Woo-Hoo! More $ to feed my Raspberry Vanilla Body Butter Addiction LOL. Currently, I have one in my Kitchen with Hand Soap, one in my Bathroom with Hand Soap and one in my Shower which I use for either Shampoo, Shaving Foam or Body Wash- sometimes all 3 at once if I use Castile Soap Haha. I use my P-Touch Label Maker (which I also have an obsession with) and label them in case I have different things in different rooms so I don't forget. The only thing I would change is that I wish they had a wider base (like the foaming Dial Soap bottles). Sometimes they tend to fall over- but with the amount of Moo-lah I've saved in the past 6 months- I can deal with that! Needless to say... I LOVE these things! They were a great investment and I will probably buy more in the future.
