Arista is a concentrate for the artists of the bubble show. 5 liters of solution is prepared from 250 ml. The concentrate has been developed for about 3 years since the beginning of 2017. About 50 people worked on the concentrate: both ordinary employees of companies that produce detergents, and University professors. Some worked for money, some just helped with advice. We can't remember all of them, but we are grateful to each of them for their participation in this great work.
It is no secret that many artists prepare their own solution according to a recipe.
I'm sure many of them will now choose Arista concentrate.
What is the difficulty with preparing the solution according to the recipe:
Cost increases
Most often, the solution is prepared from Fairy (dishwashing detergent). It is constantly getting more expensive.
Bad or unpleasant smell of the solution
Fairy smells like household chemicals and the audience understands this at the performance. And Fairy without smell is much more expensive than its fragrant analogues.
It's hard to buy ingredients
Many recipes include ingredients that are difficult to find. It is not always possible to buy it in your own city, you have to buy it over the Internet or search in neighboring cities.
Manufacturers change their composition
About once a year, you have to change the composition of the solution, because manufacturers change the recipe of some ingredient for the solution.
The need to prepare more and in advance
To save their time, and to be always ready for performances, artists prepare a lot of solution at once. If the solution is not used in time, it spoils. And it has to be thrown away.
Heavy solution
Often animators do not have their own cars and move from order to order on public transport. Until there was no concentrate, such artists had to carry a heavy container with the solution with them.
I have advised about 300 students on the recipe of the solution, I give the most frequent mistakes when diluting the solution according to the recipe.
Problems with glycerin
Glycerine can be different (from different manufacturers) or it is difficult to buy in the city. With a lack of normal glycerol, sometimes it even comes to the pharmacy. Its quality is very different - this becomes a problem.
Ingredients behave differently
Different brands of ingredients work in different ways. Most often, they have different content of the active substance or it is modified.
Need for special scales
Not all scales are suitable. You need scales that measure tenths and hundredths of grams. Also, these scales need to be periodically calibrated.
Artists make mistakes when preparing the solution
These are technical mistakes. The artist may forget how much is measured, or make a mistake when weighing. Many of my colleagues will confirm that not everyone was able to prepare the solution the first try.
I am an excellent recipe cook and have taught hundreds of my students how to do it, but even I find it difficult. The hardest part for me is using leftover ingredients. There aren't much of them. But they are all sold in different places and spent differently. I've been dreaming of a concentrate for a long time, and now it's here.

Advantages OfArista
You don't waste your time preparing the solution.
Arista is prepared in 3 minutes by simply mixing with water. Pour the water, pour the concentrate into this water and mix.
Be sure that your solution is always the same
The concentrate is prepared in large containers of 500 liters. All the Arista jars have the same composition.
You don't waste your time testing the solution
Beginners can easily get the solution that professional artists have. This will make the animation with bubbles better. You only need to work on the technique of blowing bubbles.
Don't bother collecting ingredients
No longer have to buy everything in different places and control the leftover ingredients.
Be sure of the properties of the solution
Each batch of Arista is tested personally by Lyudmila immediately after its release. A system of 8 tests was created specifically to test Arista, which confirm compliance with our standards.
Save on delivery
So that you can save money on delivery, we removed the excess water and compressed the solution by 20 times. Now you will get 5 liters of solution from 250 ml of Arista.
For example, sending a box of Arista (25 jars) from Moscow to Vladivostok will cost about 1000 rubles. And this is 125 liters of solution.
Arista has no smell
The solution does not contain flavorings and smells neutral. During the performance the audience will not feel the smell of your solution.
This is the solution with which I work myself. You can also be sure that Arista does not contain carcinogenic or mutagenic substances. My husband Alexey led the development of Arista. All my friends know how serious he is about my health. While working on the solution, we discussed each ingredient for its possible harm. Several substances were not used in the concentrate. To be honest, it was the search for healthy surfactants and preservatives that greatly delayed the development time.

Review
Feedback received as part of an open testing program
Describe in detail what you did and what you observed. What results were obtained: At first I did tricks with my usual technique and pace. Then I started adjusting to the solution. If you get used to it a little, you can do your usual tricks very well. The solution seemed to me very plastic and flexible. It's nice to improvise and play with it.
Which of your tricks did you fail to perform and why? Failed with eights, there were very few bubbles. But there were a lot of bubbles from the bubble maker!!! It was difficult with the smoke tricks. Because of the weight of the smoke, the bubble descended faster than I was used to with my solution. But I want to try the smoke tricks again. Tricks with smoke on the palms turned out. Today I will try again to do all the tricks with smoke in the air, on my hands and on rackets. Even at first, the bubble during the rehearsal burst at the most unpredictable moment. There was such a thing. Then you adjust. And sometimes, when performing tricks on two hands, the bubble from one hand would stick to the other. The same thing was with the manual and smoke tricks.
How satisfied are you with the production of Arista as a concentrated paste? Is this an advantage or disadvantage? This is definitely an advantage! It was very easy to mix. The jar is small, light and convenient in all characteristics. This paste did not give me any difficulties. I just stirred it a little longer and more intensely. And I rinsed everything out of the jar, scraping the walls with a stick.
How quickly did you manage to dissolve Arista in water? Quite fast. After the solution has been infused, there are no clots left in it.
Does Arista smell, and if so, how pleasant and acceptable is it? The smell is neutral. I almost didn't smell anything. I will smell again.
Will you recommend using Arista to soap bubble show artists and animators? I will.
What tricks did you get: hand tricks, smoke tricks, racket tricks, steam generator tricks, bubble maker tricks, loops. Almost all the stunts turned out, except for eights and some smoke tricks.
