You talk the way I feel, I'm just starting out, haven't as yet have any products out on the market but I have many prototypes in different Industries, I wanted to put the best out there but the best for me isn't the best for everyone else, I'll follow you and I wish you all the best.

Thank you for a wonderful video and recipe. I really appreciate you sharing your entire process. I was hesitant to make shower steamers because all the recipes had carrier oils or butters 😱😱. I thought of them more as shower sliders than steamers 😂😂. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video! Making some as Christmas gifts since money is tight this year and I have all the ingredients already! Can’t wait! One question, when you say 1oz of essential oil, is that liquid oz or weighed on the scale?

hi thank you for sharing. do u ever use Menthol crystals in your shower steamer ? can you let me know what your reasoning is for or against. thank you 🙂

@hellobushyl 4 күн бұрын
I don't because I find menthol too intense, personally, but I know a lot of people really like that addition so I think it's just a matter of personal preference!

I just started my 3rd year. My sales this year are much better than they have been in the past and I am loving more & more. I too have added more products and am up to about 36 different scents of soap. But it is hard work. I did jump right in with both feet and get a retail space and after 1 year closed it down. It was too much too soon. I am much happier now with popups.

Great video. With the seasonal soaps, you have the data on how much seasonal soap you did sell. What if you made just a little less and when they run out, they run out. "Uh-Oh, we missed you! We will have more for you next season💜"

I made these steamers but may have used too much essential oil. I weighed everything, is it 1oz of essential oil literally by weight, or 1 fl oz of essential oil by volume ?

The oz are in reference to weight! Good luck with the next batch 😊

If you’re using soy wax, you could basically use any heat-safe container that’s easy to pour out of. Soy wax is water soluble so it should be fairly easy to clean out of whatever you use, but you could even use disposable to-go coffee cups if you want less cleanup.

It’s my first time making shower steamers and these are great! Thank you 😊 I am wondering, is there something I can add to make the steamer break down slower? It disintegrated almost immediately (maybe that’s normal, I don’t know). Would increasing corn starch help?
@hellobushyl
@hellobushyl Ай бұрын
I would say your best bet is just to move it out of the direct steam of water and allow more of the off-spray to activate it - that should slow it down!

I use a “cap full” so I would guess 1 tablespoon? Alcohol is an option but I’ve tried it before and didn’t like it as much because it doesn’t partially activate the mixture. Instead I’d try a tablespoon of water first!

Why do you use clay? I assume that is what's causing the spots and bubbles as it perhaps retains moisture?
