    What I love most about aromatherapy shower steamers is that it can create an awesome environment for you to start your day, or unwind at the end of the day.

    These are made with calming lavender essential oils, so they are perfect for times when you just want to relax. If you are a morning shower person, try making these with any type of citrus essential oil, which are alerting.
    They can also be made with Eucalyptus or Tea Tree Oil which is perfect for clogged sinuses!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions, and answers, our readers have asked about Lavender Shower Steamers.

    What are shower steamers?

    Similar to bath bombs, shower steamers are activated by the hot water. You place it on the floor of the shower and as the hot water dissolves the baking soda and citric acid, the shower steamer releases the essential oils.

    Where should a steamer be placed in a shower?

    Place your steamer at the far end of the shower for best results. If you place it under the stream from the showerhead, it will dissolve too quickly.

    How do you store shower steamers?

    Store shower steamers in an airtight container.

    How long do shower melts last?

    In an airtight container, shower melts will last for several months. Once wet, they'll fill your shower with aroma for up to 10 minutes.

    Why are my shower steamers crumbling?

    Your shower steamers may be crumbly if you didn't add enough liquid to your dry ingredients.

    What is lavender essential oil good for?

    Lavender essential oil is particularly good for helping to relieve stress and anxiety and can help with sleep.

    Ingredients and supplies to make aromatherapy shower steamers.

    Shopping List

    • ½ cup Epsom salts
    • ½ cup baking soda
    • 1 ½ tablespoons water
    • 100 drops lavender essential oil
    • Dried lavender petals
    • ½ teaspoon ¼ teaspoon purple mica powder
    • Cylinder Silicone Mold (15 cavities)

    How to Make Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

    Our tutorial will show you how to make your own lavender shower steamers. This mixture will make 9 steamers.

    1. In a small bowl, combine the Epsom salts and baking soda, stirring very well, until fully combined.
    2. Next, stir in the purple mica powder (this is optional).
    3. After that, combine the water with the lavender essential oil.
    4. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture, stirring constantly until you have a paste-like mixture.
    5. Add a few lavender buds to the bottom of NINE (9) cavities of the mold. (You will not need all 15 cavities).
    6. Spoon mixture on top of the lavender buds.
    7. Then, press down firmly to help form the steamers.
    8. Allow steamers to set for about 24-48 hours.
    9. Once set, remove from mold and store in an airtight container.

    How to Use Shower Steamers

    To use your aromatherapy shower steamers, turn on the hot water for a shower. Place 1-2 steamers on the floor of the tub/shower furthest away from the falling water. If you place them directly under the water, they will dissolve very quickly. The steam from the hot water will help release the essential oils.

        The mica powder is only for the color so you can totally skip it without any issue 🙂
