I love your recipe because it contains minimal and natural ingredients. Other recipes I’ve looked into have too many ingredients! I can’t wait to give yours a try, thanks for sharing :)
I tried these, but since it’s been raining here for several days, they didn’t dry completely overnight. I put the mold on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven at 275 degrees F for an hour. May have been overkill, but they’re perfect. Thanks, Laura!
Oh my gosh I LOVE Vetiver! I can't wait to try these. I stumbled upon your channel a couple months ago and am so glad I did. I love doTERRA and the things you share. Thank-you 🙏❤️
I have tried many recipes for shower melts with essential oils and I have used sooo much oils in the recipe and never smelled anything in the shower or bath! You really need to use menthol crystals for an aromatherapy shower as they are stronger smelling
Gonna try these again don’t fully remember what happened last time. The batch I made mustn’t have worked or else I’d 100% be making them since my last msg. But as I’ve got the ingredients, try try & hopefully success 🙏 🤪💞 will update u as I really can’t remember why it didn’t work last time 🤷♀️ xxx
Like the fact that there’s less ingredients. I noticed you didn’t use citric acid. Other videos say that’s what makes the fizz. And I used the scented Epsom salts so I didn’t use an essential oil. Also why does the bowl have to be glass? Because plastic grabs color? I used food color and hope my shower doesn’t stain.
How fantastic!! I certainly don't have time to soak in a bath haha Will definitely try making these this weekend :) Thanks so much. Can you do a video on body butter or lip balm? I look forward to your videos each week, loving your channel xx
Cindy N Thavk you, glad you are liking them!! I do already have a video up with my body butter recipe and I’ll add lip balm to my list. I have a good recipe that I need to share anyway.
Great video 👏🙋💗 I was just this minute about to make some shower melts, . Have ordered & just awaiting these ingredients (Citric Acid, more baking soda, soap colourant & corn starch) but until delivery I was about to make some with just baking soda, 25 drops of Lavender essential oil, water & put them in moulds over night, then I watched ur video. Do u think my plan of the basic stuff would still work?
Why use salt, especially the Himalayan, for the shower since it just goes down the drain. You can use corn starch for filler. Just seems like a waste of a good salt. Rather use in bath Bombs so it's actually utilized on the skin. Like the idea of the melts though.
Do have any recipes for these that don't use salt for those who are trying to avoid sodium. Even sodium topically can impact your blood pressure as 60% of what you put on top of your skin hits your blood stream. Perhaps the same recipe with sugar?
Severus Webber Hmmm I’ll have to try that, great idea! The salt doesn’t get on the skin much because they just stay on the floor of the shower and dissolve.
I’ve made them and I added vanilla to the lavender! Is there a way to make them dry faster? I made some last-minute DIY Christmas gifts that I need to give out tomorrow morning and I’m hoping that they dry overnight 😬
@@ouroilyhouse I tried that ... it didn’t work 🥲. I am using sun essential oils because I use them a lot I need to be able to buy in bulk. Amy suggestions?
You can add citric acid for fizzy and corn starch for filler. It'suppose to melt faster in the tub because you are immersed in it and want the full treatment
Love all your videos! You are so relaxed & let your recipes do the talking. Thank you! 🩷🩷🩷

Did you loose any of the oils aroma baking them. Mine aren't drying either

You're such an inspiration, thank you!

Just made these and they are currently drying. I used epsom salt instead of the pink salt. I am so EXCITED to try them! Thanks for this video. 😊❤️🙏🏼
YAY!! Enjoy! We love them!

I love this idea! Totally going to make these!
We love them! I can't wait to dabble in bath bomb making! :)
Love bath melts. Yes, I'm definitely making these. Once again, thanks for the vid.
You're welcome!
Thank you I just shred this in my newsletter!
Love this recipe Laura, I am going to make these!!
Thank you, enjoy!
I love this idea! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I think I might just have to make some eucalyptus shower melts! 😊💕
Lovely Things With Abby Eucalyptus is amazing for these!! Especially going into cold and flu season.
Yes, for sure!

I make them with just baking soda, salt, water, and essential oils. They work great!
Hi there thanks for get’n back 2 me 👍 did u look into the reason why u would use salt, curious???
Great video! Thank you!
You are welcome!
I just found you love your video will be back for more. Thanks again
Thank you so much!
You’re great!
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your videos 🦋
You're welcome! Thanks for following along!
Love all the videos
Thank you so much!
Could these be made with citric acid, bicarbonate of soda and fragrance?
This is so great! I'm planning to give these as gifts. I wonder how long the shelf life would be as I need to ship it?
6 months
Hi, loved the video!!
How long do they last for? Thanks in advance!
Hi I love this idea, can I use it in a bath too ?
They dissolve to quickly in the bath. I do have a bath bomb recipe too!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to look into that!
Corn starch can seriously clog drains

Corn starch is a great substitute :)
I’ve made them and I added vanilla to the lavender! Is there a way to make them dry faster? I made some last-minute DIY Christmas gifts that I need to give out tomorrow morning and I’m hoping that they dry overnight 😬
The recipe that u made does this fizz as well with these two ingredients let me know because I really want to make some🥰
They will melt when water hits them and give off the aroma.
@@ouroilyhouse oh okay thank u
I've made these before with no problems but this time they seam to crumble when I take out of the mold, what can cause this. It's been raining here.
GR8 TUTORIAL! CAN YOU TELL ME IF THERE IS A SHELF LIFE ON THESE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Good for one year. Thank you!
@@ouroilyhouse WOW ok thank you so much for getting back to me :)
You're welcome!
Made these, not sure what I did, but in the morning they crumbled so I waited 2 extra days, still not really solid
Where did u get that bucket of pink salt?
We get it from Ross, believe it or not!
Is it normal for them to grow after you have the mixture in the silicone mold? What do I do?
can i use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Can you use just baking soda and essential oils?
can we use this on the body?
They are meant to sit in the shower and be used for aromatherapy. But if you wanted to use them as a salt scrub you definitely could.
Do they dissolve in one shower? If not what do you do with the excess?
Yes they dissolve
Can i use baking powder instead of baking soda here ?
they are not the same at all and won't work in this recipe
Maybe I'm too tired but where's the info about safe dyes for the shower melts?
I listed them in the description with links.
@@ouroilyhouse I just double-checked & didn't see the dyes listed
Oh my gosh so sorry! I just added it. here is the link: amzn.to/31Oz3Ub
Can I use fragrance oils
Yes but they won't have the same therapeutic benefits.
What is your recipe?
Is this formula safe for kids?
Use them with my kids. I just cut the essential oils in half.
Hi there I love this recipe however I am finding that I am not getting that much aroma from it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong
Sometimes it depends on the brand of oils you have. You can add a few extra drops to the top of these.
@@ouroilyhouse I tried that ... it didn’t work 🥲. I am using sun essential oils because I use them a lot I need to be able to buy in bulk. Amy suggestions?
Would this recipe also work in the tub?
Evan S I think they would dissolve to fast in the tub. I’m planning to make bath bombs soon!
You can add citric acid for fizzy and corn starch for filler. It'suppose to melt faster in the tub because you are immersed in it and want the full treatment
Shelf life of shower melts?
One year
How abt bath bombs? Can i make those.
This recipe doesn't work as well as a bath bomb because it dissolves pretty quick however I plan to do a bath bomb video soon!
Great cant wait
Love your channel, and this idea, BUT GUYS! Look into where and how the himalayan sea salt gets to you. Its sad .
I tried your recipe and it didn’t stick. I left it overnight then another night…still powdery. Oh well…
Sounds like you didn't add enough water. You can take them out of the molds, add more water and try again!
Love this idea! Totally going to try it today!
Nicole Pazmino I already need to make more 😆
