- DIY Menthol Shower Steamers **WITH RECIPE!**
In this tutorial I will teach you how I make Menthol Shower Steamers. Menthol gives a fresh, cool and tingling sensation and is an extremely effective way to treat the symptoms of a cold or flu. A must have around our house. I plan on giving these as gifts to friends and family this year. Thanks for watching! xo
Shower Steamers, AKA Shower Fizzies, Shower Melts, and Shower Bombs, are similar to Bath Bombs but instead of using them in the tub, Steamers are used in the shower.
Instructions for use - To activate essential oils in Shower Steamer, simply place on the shower floor where water can easily get to it. Enjoy!
*AS ALWAYS, PLEASE USE CAUTION & COMMON SENSE WHEN USING MENTHOL CRYSTALS & ESSENTIAL OILS. ALWAYS CHECK FOR ALLERGIES. WITH MENTHOL CRYSTALS, A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!

Yes!!! Would love to see the other 2 SS's😁🤗😍🥰 loved this tutorial!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks! So helpful!
Thank you for all your info, I made these and came out beautiful.
This is a wonderful tutorial with clear instructions. I tried this a couple days ago and all my steamers turned out perfectly. I used small, medium and large sized silicone molds. The few attempts I’ve made with bath bombs in the past were not successful ones, so I was hesitant to use a whole ounce of menthol crystals in this project.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Great video! Clear instructions…. my shower steamers came out great!! Thank you!!
Absolutely informative.
Very pretty final product
Thank you for taking the time to perfect your process and recipe and for sharing it all with us. 😀I was able to press them and I couldn’t be happier! Really beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise in this fantastic tutorial! It makes me feel like I can try it! Thank you!
Thank you for your support 😘
Great tutorial and the steamers are a favorite with everyone in my house. Thank you so much!!
Mine too! No doubt, this is definitely the time of year for menthol steamers! Thank you for your support!
Hi Em! Worth waiting for!!! I'd like both the Sleepytime and the Wake Up SS's please!
So happy you enjoyed the tutoria! I'm putting the other two Shower Steamers in the line-up of tutorials for 2021. I appreciate your input! xo
I would love to see the citrus recipe!
Hi there!! Love love your videos! I’m about to make these and so excited for them. I’ve got two questions.
1. Can I substitute corn starch for the clay?
2. I live in a very humid climate, should I make any adjustments to the wet or dry ingredients to account for the humidity?
Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for such great videos! I have a question for you. After they are dried why would they be sandy? Not super hard etc
I would love to see the sleepy time one :-)
It is SO GOOD! Lavender with a touch of spicy vanilla. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! xo
Hi and thank you so much for this tutorial. I will be trying this but I had a question. What's the purpose of the Kaolin Clay?
Thank your for making this video.
Quick questions,
1. why did you use KC
2. What did you use Poly 80 for?
3. Is there a rule of thumb for how much mental crystal to use?
Thanks!
Do you have a video on ideas for starting your own shower steamer or bath bomb business?
Love and use this recipe, thank you! Curious, do you put any kind of "warning" on you packaging for the menthol crystals?
why? are the crystals dangerous?
Can I use witch hazel in place of alcohol?
How long do you cure this before you package them? And how long do they stay scented
I wanted to let you know that I made my first batch and I love them! I will be crediting U on my channel in my video. So that if they want the recipe they will have to go to hours, I only think that's fair. Th so much, however, I still wanted to know why the kaylin clay? What does that do? Do some people add tar tar? I would love to know for my own use, thanks again😍
I wanted to let you know that dollar Tree carrys the same exact pop out ice cube mold as the one you're using, if it's any cheaper
may I ask where you get your labels too please, im making in the uk but im finding labels hard, I need simple . thank you
What is the purpose of the poly 80? Trying to make a recipe without unnecessary ingredients. Does it by chance help bind the dissolved menthol so it doesn’t recrystallize? Thanks!
Great video! I'm wondering if the shower steamers can be used as bath bombs too? I have family that only use the shower and some who would soak in the tub and I'd like to only make one product that hopefully both could use.
Great question! You can absolutely use these as bath bombs as long as you take into consideration these two important things...
1. Make sure the mica you are using is skin-safe for the bath. Each supplier should list which micas are skin-safe for bath bombs. Nurture Soap and Mad Micas both have links on their websites for micas that are safe.
2. Test for allergies with all essential oils and menthol and keep in mind menthol can be irritating to the skin.*** Be sure you double check when using with children. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi! I love this video, very helpful. I made my first batch but noticed the scent started to fade after 1-2 weeks. Is this normal? Perhaps it's best not to make them ahead of time?
What are you wrapping them in afterwards?
Same! I had someone leave me a bad review on Etsy saying it wasn’t strong at all :(
something so interesting happened for me! in mixing the wet ingredients (with menthol crystals), my mixture started to thicken like a lotion! i wonder if it was the polysorbate 80-i was mixing it with a whisk while in the hot bath instead of shaking.
Could you please explain why you add polysorbate 80 to this recipe???
She said in the beginning that it slows down the fizz.
hi, what does the white kaolin do in this recipe?
Hardens it
Can you use witch hazel instead of alcohol
I have never substituted witch hazel for the alcohol in this recipe. I know some people prefer to use it over the alcohol. I use the alcohol because it evaporates giving you a solid shower steamer. If you decide to use witch hazel I would suggest not using the full amount called for in the recipe at first, and then add more if needed when you are mixing it together. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Hello Emily. I made the steamers and they are drying now. but to my surprise they begin to rise and tear. what could i have done wrong?
Hi Martine, How frustrating! I experience this when I add too much of the rubbing alcohol. They start to rise and tear because the baking soda and citric acid are starting to react. Hope this helps!
Hey sweetie.. Just got done trying your recipe with my own twerk.. Christmas trees and Angel Snowmen..I did mention YOU on my video.. and now I know why you use the Mixer.

You’re still using oils, so making the shower floor slippery is not avoided in this video…?
