Make Your Own Shower Steamers DIY!

- Today I’m showing you how to make shower steamers. Shower steamers fizz & release amazing scents into the air, providing aromatherapy in the shower. If you’re un-sure if you want a shower or a bath, no worries- I’m giving you a recipe that can be used as both - a shower steamer or a bath bomb!
RECIPE: 1 cup (250 grams) baking soda, 1/2 cup (100 grams) citric acid, 1/4 cup (30 grams) corn starch. 7.5 milliliters fragrance oil, 7.5 milliliters carrier oil (I used sweet almond oil), * (optional) 20 drops essential oil. For BOTH (steamer & bomb recipe): 7.5 milliliters fragrance oil, 5 milliliters carrier oil, 2.5 milliliters polysorbate 80, & *20 drops essential oil.
Sieve dry ingredients together. In a small cup, whisk wet ingredients together. Add wet to dry very slowly while whisking. Then rub mix between hands to ensure ingredients are thoroughly & evenly incorporated. You can add any type of color that you want. I’m using a shampoo bar mold. Relaxing rose has a calming blend of sandalwood rose FO & stress relief essential oil. I’m adding a ½ cup of mix for each tablet (so they’re the same size). In order to get the mix in tightly, twist the top a bit while applying pressure. Then, scrape loose mix on sides & pack it once more. The more pressure applied during packing, the sturdier the tablet will be. Painting is optional. Add alcohol & mica to a cup & swirl it around to mix. The rose steamers don’t need to be painted especially if you’ve already added other elements. Zesty orange has a lively blend of citrus fragrance oils & alive essential oil. If you’re using a citrus slice, I have a few tips: choose a very thin citrus slice, make the tablet a bit thicker than normal, if there’s damage- repair it, if possible, & shrink wrap this tablet & let it dry 24 hours. I painted the inside lines, the round edges, & added a few leaves. Sleepy lavender has a hypnotic blend of lavender fragrance oil & sleep tight essential oil. Drop a few scattered lavender buds or place them in line like a sprig of lavender. Slowly & carefully add mix so the buds aren’t disturbed, then mold as usual. I recommend painting this tablet. First make a light outline, then fill in lavender buds. Last, add the stem. Peppy Mint is a shower steamer ONLY! It has an uplifting blend of peppermint & happy essential oils & menthol crystals. Same dry ingredients + [7-10 grams menthol crystals & 15 milliliters carrier oil (I used hemp seed oil or avocado - I FORGOT!)]. Microwave until crystals are completely dissolved (about 40 seconds). You can also add about 20 drops essential oil to the liquid. To make the sparkly salts, dip them in alcohol & mica.

Thanks!
😊
Thanks so much for your support! I appreciate it!
A tip is to add the citric acid after liquids have been added to make sure fizzing action doesn’t start.
I love the way it turned out
I truly love your spin on shower steamers much better with the mold!
Oh thank you!
Thanks lovely Dora, these are perfect for the season. They look so delicate and lovely but I am sure they can help my sinus clear up in no time. Thanks for your kindness. 💋
You’re so welcome. Sinuses, sniffles - no more!
Love the new intro and graphics! These are so beautiful!
😘
I swear I love your channel your so very informative I feel like I’m in school learning
I appreciate that!
I absolutely love these!! I was thinking for a Christmas themed one you could do a peppermint looking one. You are so talented my Cajun friend! Love your DYI’s!!
Thanks so much! Yes, that’d be cute!
You have the best bath bomb etc. channel on UA-cam 👍
Love the painting with micas! ❤ Just subscribed!
Great. Welcome to my channel!
Wow so cute colors

Very amazing video...I love it🥰✨..I almost watch whole video you post💓
Thank you so much 🤗
I love everything
😊
I asked you a while ago about shower steamer, thank you so much for this video.
They are amazing 😊
Yes you did & Glad you like them!
@@CreativeBathLab
Thanks a lot dear
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿🤔🙏🏿👍🏽🙌🏾
You’re welcome!
Thank you for sharing it…..What kind of colouring should I use?
aaaa love it soo therapeutic
😘
And for bath bombs you can only add skin safe colours but be sure to add polysorbate 80 to stop getting a coloured ring around your bath.

Wonderful 💜Thank you for sharing.. 🙏
You are so welcome
Love this video. In the recipe what is the fragrance oil you're using and is it the same as the essential oil?
مليون لايك اكيد قبل ما اشوف الفديو معلمتي المفضله،💕💕💕💕💕
😘
I love shower steamers painting them looks so fun and girl yours is so pretty. WOW, your over 11 thousand subs, Congrats 💞👏🥂🍾⭐ on🔥🎊🎉🎈🎇🎆🎃
Thank you so much 🤗
You are so funny! Loved your "don't do this" segment
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
So ironic: Just made steamers couple days ago with same shape Cada molds (but with menthol)! But you took it to a bouji level with your botanical embeds 😍 You’re too talented 🙌🏼
THank you! I NEVER plan on doing elaborate tutorials; it just always happens that way. I add a few petals then all of a sudden I'm adding dried fruit! I paint a few buds on one, then I end up painting ALL of them.
Hey I jwanna do this one but with the menthol do I have to adjust the other ingredients?
Is there a way to do this without any fragrance oil and only essential oil? Would you have to increase the EO amount or can you increase the carrier oil?
Also, I'm curious as to why the fragrance plus the EO - does it make the smell stronger or is it a way to save onuse of only the EOs? Thank you for these great videos.
Thanks, Dora! If you don't use essential oil in addition to the fragrance oil, how much Poly 80 should you use?
Looking at the thumbnail I was like...now who has time to be painting a bunch of shower steamers??? After watching this video well....its me! I must make time because these are sooooo cute!!! who would have thought to paint them! Thanks for sharing this! (headed to buy paint brushes...LOL!)
Lol thanks. Yea I get carried away.. added a few lavender seeds, before I knew it- They were all painted
Wow
As soon as I watched your video this morning, I made some shower steamers. I ended up having to press them into a flexible mld because they wouldn’t form. Even tried stepping on The mold. But the smell was absolutely perfect. The last ones I made I used Vicks vapor rub and it didn’t work. My Granddaughters are my testers 😍
TYVM for the awesome vid
My pleasure Laurie!
Get some menthol crystals! They are not very expensive and not do they pack a punch! It’s like Vicks on steroid’s. Your comment now has me wondering if we could make our own stuff to put on the vaporizer machine instead of buying those expensive solutions! 🧐
I’d try it fa sho!
I think Alchemist has a great point, use the crystals! They’re really REALLY potent!
Laurie,
If your grandkids are under 10 it’s not advisable to use eucalyptus with them as it can stop respiratory breathing. Tea tree is a much better option for kids. Just a quick reminder about eucalyptus. Debbie
Girl 💃 is there something you can't doo lol im in love ❤️
Lol! Thanks, but just so you know, these were VERY EASY!!!
@@CreativeBathLab they are beautiful though, your always flexing I can't wait to see this channel grow. Im excited for you girl.
Awe! 🥰
Dora what did you use on the lose side with the pipette? Is that water? I could not catch it.
Mine harden up and last long in the shower however the scent isn’t strong enough. Tips?

Can I ask you to link me to your mould
I don’t seem to find the link to your video to purchase it great video
hi i new in your channel, i dont wanna use SLSA in the bombs did i can use another think else?
This looks so fun im trying one day, however ill need to replace the citric acid with acv alternative because that seems way cheaper
im new lol this may be a dumb question... do you mean apple cider vinegar? i was just wondering where on earth id find the citric acid lol
I've never heard of that before... I'll definitely look into that! So apple cider vinegar huh? hhhmmm I guess Ill try it out!
Спасибо!!!
Добро пожаловать!
Thank you for your amazing tutorial videos and sharing your talent.
I am just getting started so do you mind sharing how you create your product labels? How to handle shipping? Do you print your shipping labels? Do you use a company like Ship Station, etc?
If you have done a video on this and I overlooked from all you amazing videos, please send link? Thank you!!
A product label video is in the works like it will be out within the month. Even have a great shipping label maker, but i dont sell or ship anything so i cant guide you on that
I wanted to ask.... I was reading that kaolin clay or cream of tartar can be added to help with hardening / drying when dealing with humidity. I am very new an still learning all I can. Love the videos an all the recipes , tips an advice!! It is so helpful. Many many thanks 😊
I read that too & sometimes will use it for that. But here’s a BIG secret: I’ve never found that either has hardened my bombs a little, if at all!
@@CreativeBathLab Thanks , I ended up using the oven to dry them since the humidity was so bad lately and we live off grid. Can't really use a dehumidifier hahaha.... thanks for responding and all the useful tips. Have a wonderful Holiday Season !
You’re welcome & you too!
Hi thank you for sharing your videos with us. Could you tell me what size mold you used please. The code isn't working.
Really?!? I’ll have to fix that ASAP- thanks for letting me know! 3” shampoo bar mold!
Congratulations on 11K subs!! And thank you for the double use steamer. I think the only reason the others can’t be used as both is the menthol
Thanks boo! Yes, that's the reason! I had a traumatizing experience with that!
@@CreativeBathLab oh man… I hope not the private bits 😱… personally I’ve only used the shower steamers as decongestant before. I may have to try these non menthol ones…
No nothing like that.. the description of my last tub tea tutorial actually explains in detail what happened. Basically I had to learn the hard way you can’t just throw a handful into the tub
@@CreativeBathLab me: reads this and frantically goes over to tub tea video Bc i didn’t read the description where you “spilled the tea” 😂
Me as I was reading the menthol story: 😳😳😳😱!!!! Now that I read it and could literally feel your pain… saying it was Traumatic is an understatement.
My steamers always disappear too quick :( do you think dividing the amount of cornstarch between cornstarch and caolin and adding a bit of Epsom salts would make the steamer dissolve slower? Sorry if this is nonsense 😅
Forgot to say, you are the master above all! What you do is bath art! Thanks for teaching us!
🥰. Simply add more fillers (corn starch, creams of tartar, kaolin clay, etc) & less baking soda/citric acid!
Hi Dora. I was wondering which size shampoo mold are you using? I'd like to purchase one, but don't know the size. Thanks
The 3” I believe. I’ll measure it
hi dora can we add some epsom salt in dry ingredients ? and if yes please mention in what proportion ? love watching your videos. learnt a lot and will always.
I don't see why not. Maybe 1/4 - 1/2 cup. Just know that you'll need more wet though, too
@@CreativeBathLab Thank You. #mentor
If I don't want to add both fragrance and essential oil what else do I add to make sure it's not crumbly? I want to add only fragrance to the bb/shower combo and only essential oil to the steamer. Can I add water as a binder to get the right texture and "wet sand" consistency?
Absolutely. Water, poly 80, alcohol, witch hazel, etc.
Creative Bath Lab💞also was wondering🤔do u make candle pours🕯w/ mold & shea butter lip balms😉 imma go back threw ure playlist in case I missed anythng. U HAVE so much😙💞,just wonderg if I missed it or added another idea to ure already extensive list of already gifted crafts👍🏽
No need to look, I haven't made them yet! Both are on my list!
Very fun. I personally have never done shower steamers, but with cold and flu season around the corner, it would be a good product to carry in my line!
Jill
I've never made them either but kept getting requests.... I'm just glad I made a versatile tablet that can be a steamer OR bomb! (Ill probably only use them as bombs!)
@Kami Lott so awesome to hear that! Glad it helped you sleep better. Menthol really is a great ingredient- it clears your passages & soothes your soul.
Hi Dora , I made your shower steamers and I wanted to use a press with a design , but every time I released it some of the bar stuck to the design and messes it up . What can I do to make the bar come out whole ? Any suggestions would help 💜
Designs (images, text, flourishes, patterns) - they're all super tricky. The ONLY thing I know to do in this situation is play around with the recipe... I've tried different things like more wet, less wet, etc. & it just depends. FIRST, don't add anything extra, especially like petals, exfoliants, lavender buds, etc. Get the mix as uniform as possible. Next, always make small batches at a time. Lots of times my first few come out then once the mix starts to dry, it's downhill from there.
I use similar molds and never had any trouble molding bath bombs or steamers. I wonder if the mold is defective?
No, not defective. Just had a little trouble with those edges!
That’s so beautiful! 👍🏻
Can it be made without the
Polysorbate 80-is there any substitute?
Yes. The poly 80 is an emulsifier so you don’t need it if using as steamer anyways
@@CreativeBathLab thank you for taking your time to answer my question!
I’ll definitely try making one 🌸
I would love to make one that has a cinnamon scent for Christmas. Do you think that would be possible?
Absolutely!
Hola
Se deja secar sin alusar por 24 hrs? O sea sin cubrir?
Correcto. ¡Secar 24 horas sobre una mesa no tapada!
Podrian publicar los ingredientes? No entiendo ingles y no se como ver los ingredientes si los publican podria usar el traductor gracias
No entiendo por qué no ves los ingredientes en español... He traducido TODOS mis videos. Voy a comprobar en esto!
I have watched most if not all of your awesome videos!!! I saw the comment below my comment saying something about a candle drip anyway it made me think of something that I saw on a dyi the other day. You probably know about this or you do these!? I saw that people make lotion and massage oil candles and I thought you might be interested in doing a dyi on a lotion candle. It’s basically just soy, beeswax, Shea butter and oil with of course fragrance or essential oils. I am going to make a lotion candle this week or next week. Most people do the massage oil candle but I think the lotion candle could serve as both massage and lotion. Anyway the lotion candle dyi was done by Mrs. Soap and Clay if you want to watch it. I’m sure you probably already know about this but l just thought you could do something awesome with maybe the look because you are great at making things look so cute or so classy! Anyway if you do one I will be definitely watching! I hear these candles are very popular and sell fast! I watch dyi’s on a daily basis because I love to get new ideas and because I am slightly color blind it helps me with choosing colors for different projects. Have a good day my fellow Cajun! :)
Hey Drue, so nice to hear from you- it’s been a while! What a neat idea! and no I have never heard about this. So thanks so much; I will definitely explore this!!!
By the way are you making mix for each tablet? I was wondering if the mix dries out to fast .🧐🤔
I made separate batches for each. Yep- mix dries out fa sho!
Thank you for doing a shower steamer! Can't wait to try these. What size mold did you use? Absolutely beautiful 😍
You’re welcome 😉 I used a shampoo bar mold, I believe it was a 3”!
Hi!! Can you tell me what you wrap the pills with?
shrink wrap bag
Hi Dora , what would you add to the steamer to make it more wet so it stays together better?
Lots of people like to spray alcohol and/or witch hazel, but I find that dries out the mix more than anything… personally I add polysorbate 80 in small amounts and in large amounts I would add a light oil, like sweet almond
@@CreativeBathLab Thank you , I will try that 💜
@@CreativeBathLab Since I saw your rock hard BB vid, I'm thinking to try adding the 5ml of water to the melt recipe to make harder melts. I have more success "blooming" water in the soda first, and blending in the citric acid last. 👍😊
Dora! HEELLLPPP! I’m trying to perfect making the menthol shower steamers. Is there a way to make them harder? They’re functional, the menthol is perfect but they’re fragile. A few batches I’ve had to rematch bc they’re crumbly and don’t stay together. I’m thinking I need more moisture? Maybe something to firm them up? Sheesh . Tried a puck mold, they wouldn’t stay together. I’ve thought about adding a lil Vicks to see if that helps. Any help would be appreciated. Btw humidity level in my house trying now is about35. I’m afraid to turn on the humidifier 🙄
Yes- try more moisture & pack that mold as hard as possible (like stand on it). Also, mine were a bit crumbly too- the main thing is to touch them as little as possible right after. I made a little cardboard disc thing then moved it carefully on there, then shrink wrapped them. Otherwise, several of them would crumble the next day when I went in to tough them
U showed adding oils two times do I add 2 time or one time thank you for the bomb
YW. I’m not sure of the question, but recipe is in description
@@CreativeBathLab thank you
😉
I see this recipe calls for sweet almond oil. I have almond oil. Will this work?
Yes
Hi dear.. why you use polysorbate 80??
Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. An emulsifier helps oils & powder colorants, like mica, mix in the water. With out it, oils & colors separate, float on top the water, & will likely cause a nasty ring around the tub (instead of mixing in with the water & going down the drain).
Do any of your ingredients make your tub slippery
Only the ones that have lots of carrier oil/butter
You should do a class for us beginners.
I’ll think about that!
I will be the first to sign up if you do. Your awesome! This is my new journey and I want to be great at it..
Awe! Will definitely let u know boo!
Hello from BKk Dear Dora❤️💓
Hello 😊 Kiki!
@@CreativeBathLab 💕💕
I recommend only use Essential oils if your certified to as there are many that can’t have certain types. The type of lavender with botanical name lavendula Augustifolia is highly toxic to those on warfarin, the elderly, pregnant & breast feeding mums and newborns to children of 7yrs.
Also pregnant & breast feeding mums can’t have Rose EO, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Fragrance. Lavender with botanical name Lavendula Offisinalls is the Safest (NOW Foods brand)
Do something different to bath bombs
