Thank u so much for actually sharing ur recipe. A lot of people don’t share this and for beginners like me who just want to dabble in this I really appreciate it
Thanks heaps for the recipe... I'll be trying it later today. I do have calendula in the garden but I'm going to decorate them with crumbled eucalyptus leaves and the pink stamens seeing they are in flower at the moment. I just pinched some in a pre-dawn raid on the nature strip out front and dehydrating them.
Good day, what do you mean by liquifying the menthol that one wants to add? Also the eucalyptus that you added to you batch is that 20ml of essential oil that you used?
mentol crystals come in hard form so you need to melt them down. you can do this by heating essential oils and mixing it in or by adding to othe things as talked about in the video. with essential oil the rule is usuially only 1% but this is not for the body but the floor so you can add variations to that to get the amount of scent you desire
Hi Rhonda, I’ve been a follower of your candle and body butter videos and thought I’d give this one a go as well. I’m curious, can I use fragrance oils instead of essential oils in this recipe?
Thank you for your reply. I was just browsing n-essentials website and some of the essential oils are so expensive, especially if you’re using quite a bit in just one recipe. So it’s good to know I can at least try it out with FO I already have on hand.
Thank you so much for sharing and forbthe smaller batch size. That was very thoughtful! I had a question for you. You mentioned needing polysorbate 80 if you added mica. May I ask why? Im starting to branch out into making other things and trying to learn all the things!
Yes I encourage you to ask that’s how we learn. Polysorbate 80 helps to disperse oils and it help micas to not stick to the surface so when the product starts to bubble the mica slides down the drain easily and makes it simple so there’s no scrubbing the floor later
Your beautiful parcel turned up yesterday so I will be using my shower steamer tonight as I have the worst head cold I've ever had lol. I've never used one before so will be nice to try it xx hope you are well, my friend :)
Awe get healthy lovely. I’ve just made the duffle ones but they are not in the site year. Don’t forget to review the products on the site for me. You just click on the product and it will say review it and you go from there ❤️❤️❤️
@@NelsonInteriorSoaperyI tried that and the outside of the steamers had “moisture bumps” lol 😅 and felt sticky. I’m thinking it’s because it was a humid day. Should I cover them so moisture in the air doesn’t get to them. By the way your video is grear
@@lorribeacandlessoaps2780 thank you. It seems that your humid was not right and that’s very important. If they have lumps it means they have soaked up to extra moisture in the air and may not be sellable. Bath bombs and steamers are very fussy and need correct air . You could leave them for a few days but they should have dried within a couple hours
Hi Rhonda, great tutorials, I have made a few of your products using following your instructions.I am just wondering where I can get the containers from that you used for the steamers. I am not sure what you called them.
Hi Rhonda! Can you tell me what that little cup is you use to mold it? I'm trying to find one for myself, but don't quite understand you when you say the name of it. Thank you so much :)
Hi Rhonda, I plan on making shower fizzers soon. Yours have that rustic feel with the flowers sticking out. My recipe has cornflour, would that do the same as cream of tartar? TIA
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery The rustic look is darling! I see many recipes with what we call cornstarch - supposedly to help make the melt harder. Is that the same as corn flower...for the same reason? Also, would you adjust the 20ml of ess. oil if also adding dissolved menthol (maybe in witch hazel)?
@@wisedove7 you can change it and Tess the corn flower is corn starch. I use 2 tablespoon menthol crystal and 1 tablespoon rubbing alcohol , and 1-3% essential oils
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Ok, so are menthol flakes not natural, I will have to look into that. I added the menthol flakes to eucalyptus essential oil and left it overnight. It worked, they dissolved. 😊
Thank you for this video Robin. Do you place the shower steamer on the floor of the shower where water is constantly hitting it or if a shower is in a bathtub, do you place it on a dish on the corner of the bath and add a few drops of water to activate it? I hope this question makes sense. 😊
Hi Rhonda, thank you for showing us how you do your shower steamers. Would you consider selling them in the containers you used as the mould? Because I see steamer lasting longer and when you have finished your shower and there is still steamer left you could pick it up and keep it for your next shower? Again thank you for your assistance. Cheers Bronne
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I might need to make my shower steamers more wet because mine could not withstand a shrink wrap. They are a little fragile but I am going to try it. Thank you
Hi, My name is Jennifer and I am an Australian currently living in the UK. I watched your video and even though it was about showers steamers and adding 20ml of essential oil, I noticed you said to use 1% or less of essential oils in a bath bomb. Is that the total amount of the mix for several bath bombs or for just one? 😊
The difference is that some are considered skin products like bathbombs as you sit in the water but shower steamers don’t touch you as the wash down the drain. Bathbombs can use 5% fragrance oil or 1% EO

Haha to funny. Its all fun.
Love that sifter, that size. I live in the U.S. and so far haven’t found one that big
It’s the size of a dinner plate. That’s standard here. I think it’s a cake sifter in a cheap department store. Like $6
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery oh tyvm I’ve even searched Amazon. Will try a cake deco store ☺️
@English Garden oh…thank you. I’ve trolled Amazon several times. I’ll have to look again 😊
@English Garden amazin has everything don’t they

Thank you so much. I’m going to have a go later x
Have fun 🤩

Hi Rhonda, I’ve been a follower of your candle and body butter videos and thought I’d give this one a go as well. I’m curious, can I use fragrance oils instead of essential oils in this recipe?
You sure can. It just wont add the aromatherapy as essential ouls do but it will smell lovely

@@tinamyers79 yes some are extremely expensive and thats why a tiny 45g steamer is $7.99 but i can tell you they are my best sellers
Thanks Rhonda great tutorial.
Anytime ❤️
I love your recipe and have found it the best by far 💕
Thank you. I’m so glad you love it .

How do you dry your steamers before wrapping them
Just leave them on a tray for 1-2 days and they should be dry

Hi there, would you please tell me where do you get the barrels for man candles? Thanks
Hi there. Sure. It’s from aussie candle
Hi Rhonda, great tutorials, I have made a few of your products using following your instructions.I am just wondering where I can get the containers from that you used for the steamers. I am not sure what you called them.
The shower steamers . You can use bath bomb moulds or moonpresses
Hi Rhonda, thank you for the video. I love it. Can you tell me how you do packing for it?
I shrink wrap it
Hi Rhonda! Can you tell me what that little cup is you use to mold it? I'm trying to find one for myself, but don't quite understand you when you say the name of it. Thank you so much :)
It’s a large tea light mould .
If you did add menthol crystals how much would you add? Thanks for sharing your recipe!😘
You only need a spoon ful but it depends on the size. You can use up to 2 or 4%
Hi Rhonda, I plan on making shower fizzers soon. Yours have that rustic feel with the flowers sticking out. My recipe has cornflour, would that do the same as cream of tartar? TIA
No. I suggest no corn flour as it might get sticky on the floor of the shower
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery thanks Rhonda

If you are adding menthol flakes, do you liquify them into the essential oil or something else? 😊
It’s water usually . I choose not to do it as I wanted a more natural product
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Ok, so are menthol flakes not natural, I will have to look into that. I added the menthol flakes to eucalyptus essential oil and left it overnight. It worked, they dissolved. 😊
@@jenniferbarber5815 yes I just did not like the idea
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery Menthol crystals can be natural, if made from peppermint oil. :) Thank you for the video!

You put it on the floor to the side of the main water so some water hits it showily

Because I see steamer lasting longer and when you have finished your shower and there is still steamer left you could pick it up and keep it for your next shower? Again thank you for your assistance. Cheers Bronne
Yes you can do that. It entered my mind to sell in containers.
If I get a request from a client I would happily make them in the containers
i’m sorry this might be a stupid question but what is a kilo is it equal to 1 ounce just curious cause I live in the United States thank you
It’s 1000 grams which equals 35.2 ounces. When you google it there’s many free converters
Hoping to see how you package these for sale.
I shrink wrap them and put a circle label in the bottom
@@NelsonInteriorSoapery I might need to make my shower steamers more wet because mine could not withstand a shrink wrap. They are a little fragile but I am going to try it. Thank you

It means its activating . To much water. Some times depending where you live you may need to alter the water
Oops, I called you Robin instead of Rhonda, my apologies. 😊
Haha that’s ok
