How to Make Shower Steamers

These DIY shower steamers are SO EASY to make and they smell amazing! Turn your shower into a spa with these shower bombs made with essential oils.

Materials:

1 cup Baking soda

1/4 cup Citric acid

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon Mica powder (GREEN, OR COLOUR OF CHOICE - OPTIONAL)

20 drops Eucalyptus essential oil

20 drops Peppermint essential oil

~25 sprays Water (ROUGHLY 1-1/2 TEASPOONS)

Equipment:

Bowl

Spoon

Spray bottle

Silicone muffin pan (or other mold)

Instructions:

Step 1: Find what you need

Gather your supplies and materials.

Step 2: Combine the shower steamer ingredients

Add baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and mica powder to a bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients together, and then add the essential oils. Stir the mixture gently.

Add water to the dry ingredients slowly, 3 to 5 sprays at a time.

If you add too much water at once it will cause a reaction with the baking soda and citric acid, making the mixture foam and expand.

After you've added water a couple of times, check to see if the shower steamer mixture stays together.

If it doesn't stay together, add more water and stir gently.

Once the shower steamer mixture is ready it should feel like damp sand, and it will stay together when you squeeze it tightly in your hand.

Step 3: Add the mixture to the silicone molds

Add the mixture to the silicone molds, one spoonful at a time. Make sure to press down firmly after each spoonful.

Fill the mold completely and then add another spoonful on top.

Use your hand to press down firmly

Fill the rest of the molds in the same way. Allow the shower steamers to dry in the molds overnight.

Once the tablets are dry, remove them from the molds. Read below for tips on how to store the shower steamers.

Your shower steamers are complete!
