Hi, you need to first know if the mixture is too wet or too dry. I have a feeling that it might be too dry. Try the squeeze test to see if the mixture holds shape. If the mixture is too dry you just need more water, but if your mixture is too wet then you leave it to dry for sometime and keep checking on it and breaking the lumps that form. After sometime when you feel your mixture has dried a little try the squeeze test again and try to mold again. Hope it helps.

They hardened very well but I haven't really been able to smell the strong aroma while in the shower, even after trying in a lighter water area and in the main stream.

I live in Texas, it gets to 90 degrees here as well but it never flattened out for me. One reason for it to flatten may be less moisture in the mixture. You can try to add more water and see if it binds together. Having the right moisture is important, too much or too little will affect the end product. Even the weather can cause problems, I don't make shower steamers or bath bombs when we have humid weather.

Hi, thank you. Citric acid helps with the fizzing of the shower steamer so that when warm water falls on it, it can melt and the essential oils can get into the steam. The shower steamer itself does not mist but the essential oils get into the mist from the warm water and it can be used as a inhaling treatment in the shower.

If you want the shower steamer to melt faster just reduce the corn starch. Hotter water is not recommended, because you need to shower in a water temperature that will suit you. If you personally like hot water then no problem. I do not use Polysorbate 80 in shower steamer because the amount of essential oils is to too much to make the floor slippery but you can add it if you want. These are just basic recipes that I use. You can change it as per your liking to personalize it.

@@itssimpleartisansoaps5694 Oh, good to know about the cornstarch, and I understand the water temp limitations. Ideally, I'm going for a harder melt (to last maybe 7-10 minutes), that vaporizes like a champ, and is about half the size of yours. Thank you again so much for answering. Happy sudsing! 😊

How long is the shelf life? What should I store them in after I make them?
@itssimpleartisansoaps56942 жыл бұрын
There is no expiration for this as such but the essential oils will dissipate after a while. You can store them in air tight containers, away from moisture.

If there is some left after shower, is it safe for child to take bath with, or do I need to dissolve first? Thank you very informative

I would not recommend for anyone to soak themselves in the shower steamers water as the concentration of the essential oils is too much and may cause irritation.

I followed your recipe but when I’m at the bottom of my mixture it feels dry and doesn’t hold anymore and I ruined it when I sprayed some more water 😅 what did I do? The first ones are perfect tho…

I am so sorry to hear that the last few didn't set properly, at times the weather plays a major role. I don't like to make shower steamers and bath bombs when it is humid.

How do you ship them so they won’t fall apart
@itssimpleartisansoaps5694 Жыл бұрын
Make sure the box is sturdy and add a lot of packing material and cushion the steamer well in it to ensure it does not move a lot while shipping.

Hi, I use 'GooGou Resealable Zip Mylar Bag Food' from Amazon for packing and I use Onlinelabels.com for my labels. I call for blank labels and print it at home on my laser printer. I also put a Silica gel packet when packing my Shower Steamers. Hope that helps.
