Hello all,

Firstly, I know very little about chemistry, so apologies in advance for basic language/materials I'm using. My predicament is as follows:

I need to make some foam/suds that last for a reasonably long time and somehow make them more robust than normal foam. Something like this


A friend suggested a thickening or gelling agent, such as glycerine, but I wasn't sure how well that would work?

So yeah, a very bizzarre questions, but if you have a method or any tips on how to create a fairly robust soap foam/sud which will last for a couple of hours or more, please let me know. I imagine it's not possible but would love to be proved wrong

Thanks
