Is there something other than castor oil that you can add to melt & pour for more lather/ bubbles?

Castor oil wont add more bubbles to MP. In fact, it may dampen bubbles because its an oil.

Realistically the only thing that will probably work is adding a synthetic detergent to it. But, then by FDA labeling laws it will not be considered soap any more and will have to be labeled as a cosmetic.

I agree with galaxy on this. Adding castor will likely cut the lather. Any additional oils would probably do that as well.

When I make MP I add a tspn ppo of Dr. Bronner's liquid soap to it to add some bubbles, but I don't sell, so don't have to worry about legal/labeling issues.

...sigh thanks

Oops, sorry, that was meant to be 1 tspn of Dr. Bronner per lb of base. You could probably increase it a little bit if you are not adding other stuff. It does seem to make things a bit more bubbly, worth trying ...

You might try this link, it discusses adding surfactants to M&P base.
