A bubble stretches, catches the light and floats away. For a moment, everyone is looking up. That shared delight is why we make giant bubbles. The choices behind them matter just as much: the ingredients in the mix, the materials in our toys, and the kind of world children get to grow up in.

At Dr Zigs, extraordinary bubbles and uncompromising principles belong together. We are an independent toy business with a simple belief: children’s joy matters, our planet matters, and every child deserves to grow up in peace.

Plant-based giant bubbles and thoughtful materials

Our giant bubble mix uses sustainably sourced, plant-based surfactants: the ingredients that help bubbles form. We work to minimise unnecessary plastic in our toys and packaging, choosing materials such as wood, cotton and bamboo where suitable. The materials we choose are part of the experience we want to offer: thoughtful toys that invite people to spend time playing together.

Giant bubbles invite children and adults to get outside, experiment, move and share a moment of wonder. A wand, some mix and a little curiosity can turn an ordinary afternoon into an adventure. Sustainability is ongoing work, and we keep asking questions about our materials and choices. You can read more in our sustainability commitments.

Proudly pro-Palestine: standing for children’s rights

Being an ethical toy company has to reach beyond the packaging. Children’s lives, dignity and freedom matter. Dr Zigs is proudly pro-Palestine: we stand for Palestinian freedom, dignity and children’s rights. This commitment is part of who we are, how we use our voice and the work we support.

Every child deserves safety, protection and the freedom to play. We oppose the harm war and displacement cause to children, and stand with children affected by conflict in Palestine and around the world. That belief connects our everyday work making toys with the humanitarian work we support.

Bubbles Not Bombs: give the healing power of play

Our founder also established Bubbles Not Bombs, an independent NGO and Dr Zigs’ main humanitarian partner. Its mission is to bring play, human connection and moments of childhood to children affected by war and displacement. The NGO builds on years of bubble-based humanitarian work and works with local partners who understand the communities they support.

For children living through the horrors of war, opportunities to play matter. Bubbles Not Bombs works to bring bubbles and moments of calm, connection and joy to children who need them. Giving the healing power of play means making space for children to be children, even in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

You can gift bubbles through the fundraising page, gift Bubbles Not Bombs memberships, or visit the Bubbles Not Bombs website to learn more. Donations and memberships through those external giving pages support the NGO directly.

Choosing ethical toys and gifts

Choosing a gift can be an opportunity to think about the experience it will bring and the business behind it. A first giant bubble adventure, a kit to share with friends, or a refill for someone who already loves making bubbles can all create time to play together. For us, the joy of the product and the principles behind the business belong in the same conversation.

If you would like to explore, our Gifts & Bubble Kits, Bubble Mix & Refills and Help Me Choose guide are there to help. You can also read Our Ethics in full and ask us about the decisions behind our products, materials and humanitarian commitments.

Questions about Dr Zigs’ ethics

What makes Dr Zigs an ethical toy company?

Our commitments connect sustainably sourced, plant-based surfactants, thoughtful material choices and efforts to reduce unnecessary plastic with speaking up for children’s rights. We explain these choices openly on our ethics and sustainability pages and welcome questions about them.

Is Dr Zigs pro-Palestine?

Yes. Dr Zigs is proudly pro-Palestine and stands for Palestinian freedom, dignity and children’s rights. We believe every child deserves safety, protection and the freedom to play.

How can I give directly to Bubbles Not Bombs?

You can gift a Bubbles Not Bombs membership or contribute through the NGO’s fundraising page. These giving routes support Bubbles Not Bombs directly and are separate from buying Dr Zigs products.

Children’s joy matters. Our planet matters. Every child deserves to grow up in peace. These are the principles behind Dr Zigs, and the reason our work reaches beyond the bubbles themselves.

Extraordinary bubbles. Uncompromising principles.
