Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have spent the last month failing at shower steamers. Your video inspired me to make a batch immediately after watching and they turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 😊

Love your videos! Just one point: when aromatherapy is used to influence mood, for example, this actually takes place in the brain. Our brains don’t know the difference in whether a scent is essential, synthetic or a mix of both. It simple responds to the way the scent makes you feel. For this purpose, it doesn’t matter if you use an essential or fragrance oil in a shower steamer because the show streamer doesn’t come into much contact with the skin. This changes when you use a shower steamer as a foot bath of course. Then you have skin contact. In the case of aromatherapy used on the skin, e.g. face/body oils, then essential oils should be use for their therapeutic effect.

I'm happy that I found you! You're so down to earth and clear with your description and details. I love it! Thank you for sharing ❤

OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a lifesaver. I made many failed batches and was growing frustrated as I have a bunch of gift boxes to make for a fundraiser. I found your video and made them with success!! Thank you soo much for sharing! You are amazing!

They look lovely!! I completely agree with using EO's and menthol crystals for shower steamers..its an aromatherapy bliss 😊

Thank you so much for your recipe and your instructions/ explanations! I really enjoyed your video.

What a wealth of information you provided! Thank you for this educational and enjoyable video.

I tried yiur recipe after trying two others (both fails) and THIS INE ROCKED! My husband bought me two of the hand press a few was ago and I didn’t know how to use them. After watching your video, not only did I learn how to use it, but my steamers turned out PERFECT!!!!! Thank you soo much!

Thanks for a great tutorial and recipe. Glad I came across your KZread 😃

I’m so glad I saw this because I just threw a batch in the garbage. I keep getting them expanding but was taught to add a bunch of extra stuff that doesn’t make sense! This is awesome!

I would never have thought to add menthol to ALL my SS. I only use E.O. too, I absolutely agree with you about the properties of the oils in the steamers. I will have to try adding the menthol & alcohol mix to it. Thank you 😊

I've made a few batches now and love your recipe ❤️

Love these! Thank you for sharing.

I'm defintely going to give yours a try and see if I can make them. My last two batches were to wet and expanded. They still worked great in the shower but were not somwthing I would ever sell. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for showing me how to make these. I’m very new to this and my first batch before this one turned out awful . But I made the ones you showed and they are just beautiful! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. You are so easy to follow and understand.

I agree with the statement on EO, they are so strong and work so well for physical benefits. Thank you for this video

Thankyou. This recipe is fantastic. Made them and there fab!! May have added too much menthol as if a headache around the house unless there boxed away!

Brilliant, thank you, going to make these now x

Love using the steamers!

Have watched this video heaps and finally making them and watching one last time as I weigh ingredients 😁

Love the video and very helpful! Do you make these in big batches? I made my first batch and noticed the scent faded after a week or so. Is that normal?

Great Video

Thank you for sharing... I also use menthol... Just wonder, why do you use lakes instead of mica? (I find the problem is really how "dirty" it will get the shower and might be hard to clean, also because you are using color without poly 80).

Decided your recipe is the best

I use polysorbate 80 in mine to help the Mica to not stick or stain people's shower or bathtub. It also helps with reducing the base of the tub or shower stall to not become slippery. My question is does the Mica wash away without staining? Does all the essential oils not cause a slippery base in the shower? They look amazing 😍

I agree with you on the essential oils. I’m an Esthetician and have taken advanced aromatherapy courses. For it technically to be aromatherapy and be beneficial it needs to be EO. Not that fragrance oils can’t spark a sense or feeling though but it’s just different. Great video!

Will you please show how you wrap them in the foil please

I absolutely love this recipe and have been using it for months! They were always long lasting, and very hard, lasting up to 10 minutes in the shower. In my most recent batch, they didn't last as long in the shower. I timed it and they lasted 4 minutes only with very little water being sprayed on them. With direct water, they dissolve much faster than 4 minutes. I tried lessening my citric acid in the recipe but that did nothing to change the result. It's so strange, as this is the same recipe I've been using all along! Do you have any idea what could have made them change all of a sudden? Thanks for any advice!! :)

I just came across your channel! going to try your recipe next!! Wondering if you could help me ,I made my first batch of shower steamers today. They have been setting couple hours and aren't smooth looking anymore plus a little sticky. Is that to do with the room temperature?

Love this recipe !! Is their a written recipe that you could provide 🥰🥰

Even with other essential oils scents you need the menthol crystals?

Are you using a menthol crystal powder in your video? I can't tell. Where do you buy it? If I used the standard menthol crystals, what amount would you be using in this recipe by oz's please. I've watched you video several times and I can't tell this one point.

How much shower steamers does this batch make with that mold?

See a lot of receipes and they add polysorbate 80 ..I'm unsure whether to add this and really does it need it thank you for your videos I love all the help you give I'm from Scotland UK.. ❤
