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.
Love your recipe!! I have made these several times for my husband & I mainly myself 😁 (sinus issues) but wanted more opinions so I gave several to my family & they keep asking me for more said they were awesome & they couldn't believe how well they helped they definitely helped myself & my daughter with her sinus issues she keeps asking me for more lol we just had her a baby shower and I was doin the prize gift bags she asked me if I would make some shower steamers & put them inside the bags 🤔 so thank you for sharing I definitely love these now to try a different fragrance need one for headache and energy daughter is gonna need a big boost she has a 6yr old & baby boy will be here in 6wks lol so I thought I'd put together a cute little basket with all her favorite shower, bath, & body things I've made tht she loves so again thank you this video has definitely been a blessing for me I love how calming and easy to follow it was so many just do it and never explain have to pause to much, With urs I paused a few times only because I'm slow and wanted to get it right i didn't want to waste money 😂
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.
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 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!
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?
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😍
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.
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 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. I have one, but broken hip, so THANK YOU. MINE ARE Waaayy to big LIKE 5OZ. SO TOOK FOOORREVVEERR TO DRY OUT. LOL MY FIRST TIME TRYING TO MAKE THEM.. I NEEDED THEM BADLY, Helped so Much..

@@UntidyArtist I haven't gotten it uploaded yet just got diagnosed with a Rae bone disease. Don't want to be a downer just haven't had a chanced to get all my videos uploaded.. My cloud is so full. Lol but I'm fighting some breathing stuff so yes.. I'll try to let you know how the Surgery goes..im in excruciating pain and i have not help so. It's been rough. I should write a book..Ill let u know how the Surgery goes..
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!
@@trisht4314 I think she said that's what thebpoly sorbate does is anchor im not sure, but they came out beautiful, And Strong which I need..Happy just wondering

Great tutorial and the steamers are a favorite with everyone in my house. Thank you so much!!

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
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 :)
Absolutely informative.
Yes!!! Would love to see the other 2 SS's😁🤗😍🥰 loved this tutorial!
I would love to see the citrus recipe!
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
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!
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
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 :(

Do you have a video on ideas for starting your own shower steamer or bath bomb business?
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.
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
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
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!
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?
How long do you cure this before you package them? And how long do they stay scented

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!
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

Great Ideas on the different sizes.
I will check it out! Thank you so much for mentioning me in your video. It means a lot! XOXO!!!
loving the smaller sizes for when you only have time for a quick shower...which is almost every day!!! ;)

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!
Emile, why kayolin
Clay, what does that do??
I’m pretty sure it anchors the fragrance… I think 🤔
@@trisht4314 I think she said that's what thebpoly sorbate does is anchor im not sure, but they came out beautiful, And Strong which I need..Happy just wondering
Hardens it
I would to see Sleepy time bath bomb and some more cold process soap.
Yay! Thank you for your response! :)
No thank you! I love your channel ❤ you make me want to try it all
Mica is unethically mined, thought I’d let you know
Can 99% alcohol be used?
Yes
You’re still using oils, so making the shower floor slippery is not avoided in this video…?
7th
Yay!
Can I use witch hazel in place of alcohol?
