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.
But molecules do enter into the nose and pass through the olfactory nerve from essential oils, so there is a difference in how the body responds to essential oils vs fragrance oils. Essential oils are made up of different chemicals that have different effects on the body. Inhalation is one of the best ways to absorb the constituents into your blood stream.
I understand everything you’re saying about the fragrance in shower steamers but I absolutely love Apple and sage shower steamers it really changes my mood 🤣 it puts me in a very happy place 😂😂💕 Your steamers are beautiful 😻
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!
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!
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!
Thank you for this video and recipe❤ I am currently a student at Tisserand institute and I am going to try your recipe for a part of the inhalation method using essential oils.
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 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!
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).
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!
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.
Love the video, thank you for all the tips, I have just finished a small batch, turned out to my surprise very good. How do you package them and where do you buy the foils. I have just started to making Christmas presents for my and extended family. 😘🎶
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?
This is the best recipe. Pls help. Why when I mix everything it feels wet, but when I mold them and add the to the tray, the start to crack on the top? What am I doing wrong? Pls, help ❤
Do you use menthol crystals in all your steamers no matter the essential oil sent? Like if I want just a lemon or orange should I still use the menthol crystals?
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!
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!! :)
Love your video!! I am new to steamers and will love to make some for Christmas. I did not get the orange powder, what is it? I don’t see the recipe in the description. Thanks again !!
I did Steamers and was so dry ( my spray bottle mists barely any water) then disaster struck! 😂😂😂 To wet, started fizzing then I just left in bowl and kept patting dry, stirred it and left as a crumble! 😂😎😂 I’m not throwing out because I’m not wasteful if at all possible! Abundant blessings all! Love ya! ❤️❤️❤️
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?
Hello, I love your video's, very informative :) I do have just one question, Approx how much Rubbing Alcohol did you mix in with your crystals ? Thank you.
Have you used any other type of colorant in the steamers? I am highly allergic to the lake colurs and would like to know if you have experience with other colorants? Thanks for the lovely video
How do u prevent moisture from getting into them cause I don’t want them to crumble? Will putting it i. The fridge be okay? If I do leave it out do I put a fan near by? Thank you 😊
@@tigerflysoapco.8350 forgive me for being so dense the only thing in the description box is a link to your Facebook page, which I joined! Your soaps are magical. I could not find the recipe and your IG and it was not there either. I apologize I am not very computer savvy.
@@delta48dawn no its totally my fault...I thought my daughter posted the recipe in the description box as she normally does bit she didnt...if you watch the video I do give you the re ipe as I go along, you cN write it out. Sorry bout that
I want to try this, but I am confused when you say "don't use Essential Oils in shower steamers" but then you say you put Essential oils in them? Can you clarify? Thank you!
She said don't use fragrance oils, which are used in other products like candles. Use only essential oils because they're used for the aromatherapy and thus healthier
Hey hun!!! What do you do to control humidity in the summer? I live by the beach and currently struggling to fight humidity. We plan on buying 2 large dehumidifier units for our house. Didn’t know if you have any advice. Thank you!
@@tigerflysoapco.8350 hmmm? Binder as in like corn starch? I use only white kaolin clay, baking soda, citric acid, and kaolin. I’m new to making products. Are you saying I shouldnt use that or is that not a binder? Sorry and thank you so much😘
It all goes by feel...it will be different daily as humidity differs...I use. Spritz bottle and just spritz a couple times and mix well...if it needs more I repeat until proper consistency
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.. ❤
Thank you for making this video and explaining your steps and reasoning. I’m new and trying to understand what colorant type to use in steamers, most ppl use micas for steamers, why do you use lakes? Do you need to melt the menthol with alcohol? Once agin thanks for your help!

This is my favorite recipe. I have used it many times. I couldn't find the color (mica) but used eye shadow ;) Thanks!
Where did you get you mold from? Where can i find a.list.of the ingrediants you use

thank you so much this will be the third recipe i try~! IM PRAYING they harden. will update tonight.
Update?
It worked. Sorry never saw the notification!
can you use Witchhazel for the spray?
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge God bless you
would love to see them wrapped int eh foils at the end..great video thanks! seen way too many making steamers with no menthol crystals

Can I replace the Epson salt with more corn starch or cream of tartare?
Brilliant, thank you, going to make these now x
Decided your recipe is the best
Thank you!
Love your video!! I am new to steamers and will love to make some for Christmas. I did not get the orange powder, what is it? I don’t see the recipe in the description.
Thanks again !!
Even with other essential oils scents you need the menthol crystals?
Why are mine getting stuck in the mold, it comes out but the decorative top gets ruined??
What does the cornstarch do? Some recipes I see without it, other say it’s absolutely needed.
Hardens it
Will you please show how you wrap them in the foil please
Do menthol crystals only come in small little slivers or can you buy some that are crushed?
How much do you sell each one for?
How much shower steamers does this batch make with that mold?
I really enjoyed this video. Informative and entertaining
Have watched this video heaps and finally making them and watching one last time as I weigh ingredients 😁
I did Steamers and was so dry ( my spray bottle mists barely any water) then disaster struck!

To wet, started fizzing then I just left in bowl and kept patting dry, stirred it and left as a crumble!

Hello, I love your video's, very informative :) I do have just one question, Approx how much Rubbing Alcohol did you mix in with your crystals ? Thank you.
Just enough to cover them

Have you used any other type of colorant in the steamers? I am highly allergic to the lake colurs and would like to know if you have experience with other colorants? Thanks for the lovely video
Only lakes and dyes...micas stain the tun
You could go colorless
I’m allergic to menthol so will it work without? Thank you!
where do you buy the hand press and the menthol crystals and wrappers????
What was the orange powder you added? I couldn’t hear it clearly.
You mentioned the deep muscle & vapor, where do I find those?

I foil wrap them 2 dYs after making..donot put in fridge that introduces moisture
What if I don’t have menthol crystals on hand…but do have camphor. Do you think I could use some of that instead?
You could...but I don't prefer it....give it a try..see if you like it
@@tigerflysoapco.8350 thank you
Love using the steamers!

Too much liquid...depending on your humidity you must adjust your liquids

I use lakes

My shower steamers fall apart about 5-6 days after I made them. Don’t know what I did wrong 😑
Up your binder

How do you smooth the bottoms if they are lumpy without damaging whole steamer
How much do you sell them for may I ask?
These make a 50g steamer and I sell them for 3$ each or 6 for $15
Says don't need n essential oil but then proceeds to add an essential oil....😂
what brand of soap color do you use?
My main suppliers for micas are mad micas and nurture soap...however for steamers I use lakes that I purchase from different places. Batch certified
Thank you for making this video and explaining your steps and reasoning.
I’m new and trying to understand what colorant type to use in steamers, most ppl use micas for steamers, why do you use lakes?
Do you need to melt the menthol with alcohol?

Impossible to replicate. About? A little more?
Interested in purchasing.
Well put it !
does the color stain the tub?
Not if your using lakes or dyes..I donot recommend. Micas
