Morphology
The compound 'bubble bath' is directly compositional: 'bubble' (foam) + 'bath' (immersing in water) yields a bath with bubbles or a product that creates bubbles. This is a common noun-compound pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bubble bath (the product) is named for what it does: when you add the liquid or powder the water fills with bubbles and a pleasant smell. So people call the soap itself a 'bubble bath' because it makes the bath bubbly.
