There is a chemical called "Glycerin" which youwill find in most ingredients of moisturizer and soap. It is an active ingredient in your commercial bubble mix. Glycerin is present in all natural fats whether anmal or vegetable. People sometimes used to call it, "sweet oil."It can be manufactured by the saponification of fats, by fermentation of sugary substances, like sugar. If you add 1/3 cup of glycerin to 1/3 cup bubble mix and 1/3 cup water, the substance will be thicker and make a stronger bubble, just like the sugar. you can even blow it into a jar and seal it, it will last days! even months if your lucky! good luck and don't loose your interest in Science!
