Question

What is the reason behind the long-lasting bubbles by adding glycerin and corn syrup?

Community Answer

Glycerin adds moisturizer to bubbles, which prevents early drying out. Corn syrup brings stickiness to bubbles so they bounce after touching the surface, which means you can play with your bubbles for a longer time.

Question

Is glycerin optional?

Community Answer

It is possible to make a bubble solution without glycerin—you can mix water and dish soap together. However, glycerin makes the bubble solution last longer. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer that extends the life of bubbles.
