Is Bubble Liquid Safe?
Safety Explained for Bubble Play with Powder Packs
We are often asked whether the bubble liquid made with our powder packs is safe for children. The answer is yes. Still, we want to share some additional guidance to explain the safety notes included with our product.
The bubble liquid is safe for children to enjoy. The caution labels come from the added ingredient (household washing-up liquid, Fairy Liquid). These warnings relate to environmental safety—specifically the risk of harming plants or aquatic life if poured directly onto grass, ponds, or rivers. They do not mean the bubble solution is unsafe for children’s play.
When used for bubble activities, the risks are minimal and can be managed with a few simple steps.
