I have looked at numerous "how to" steamer videos. In terms of the simplistic recipe, knowledge, quality, supply assistance, and banter. This had hands down the best execution on the cutest shower steamers, ever!!! Thank you! ❤❤❤
I have PTSD from icy hot. I used the balm version once. I put it on my lower back for my arthritis pain. Well, my body heat kept it just warm enough to slowly drip down my butt crack. 10/10 do not recommend 🙃
It was me who asked you for the recipe and I thank you for following through and making the video. I've been patiently waiting for Day 130 ever since you said you'd do it today! I don't remember how long it's been...time means nothing anymore. (P.S. I found menthol crystals at a Canadian supplier in B.C. called Suds n' Scents. I don't know if they were a good price because I couldn't find them elsewhere to compare to. But if you're ordering from the States the Canadian dollar sucks so much that they might be a really good price like 25-30% less.)
LOVE 💕💕💕 your channel so much info and help in my bath body and candle business. Soaping has become my passion in my latter years!!! Question!!! Every recipe I have s3n either says to dissolve the menthol crystals in the oils (if using) or tiny amount of water) it takes forever!!!! Are the stronger when the crystals are dissolved first???
Thank you for explaining what shower steamers are. 🎉trying these out this weekend. Can I ask what cup of white powder did you add after mixing for a bit? Just want to make sure I’m doing it right ❤
I’d say it’s probably the citric acid. Most of these fizzing type recipes have you mix everything into the baking soda and add the citric acid last to avoid as much premature fizzing as possible.
Ahhh so many pointers in This video omg I love it! Thank you! I tried your recipe but on a smaller scale with little tweaks here and there. Let’s see how they come out !❤
Hi👋 I diluted one of this steamers, the heart size in 16oz of water and it became THE BEST odors repellant in my world. I put it in a spray bottle and spray, carpets, mattress, pillows, before I start to clean around the house. Is amazing in the car, if I get white steins I just wiped off.....try it is easy an no harm chemicals.
Love, love your videos. They've been such a help! Will the oil used make the shower floor slippery? I currently don't use oil in the recipe I use but notice the finished product is not as smooth as I'd like.
Cute video!! I learn so much from you. I have made steamers a couple of times. I melted my menthhol crystals in rubbing alcohol first and then added the liquid to the recipe. I didn't know you could add the crushed up crystals to the mix. If you need menthol crystals, let me know as I am part of a soaping co-op and they sell all sorts of oils, butters and supplies at great prices and you can buy in bulk.
Just last week I was searching for a good recipe and honestly went to your channel first but was stunned to not see any...I could've sworn you had one, but no dice. So I'm happy to say the one I came up with is pretty similar, though I think I went a little light on menthol. I also used my own "thieves blend" that I've been distilling for several months and it's awesome!
Yay 12K!!! Congratulations!! I've made shower steamers but without the menthol, I will try to get my hands in some so I can try with it! Thanks for the recipe! And did you ever use poly for the mica or is it not necessary?
Thank you soooooo much i just made my first fizzy thingies in my life, not sure if they're right though 😂😂😂 enjoyed it, thanks for all the inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I used to be a Raver long long ago..boy i tell ya this fragrance brings backs some really amazing moments to my mind!😎 Yes i warn my peeps dont use this like a bath bomb nooooo..Have you seen the Yoni cinnamon sugar scrub..with tons of cinnamon in it video??? I had to do an Emergancy PSA for people to not burn their hootchies with it..like holy shaaate😱
Yup, I put a red warning highlighted in yellow on those steamer labels. Also warn everyone that purchase it that they will sing soprano for a while if they sit their bum in there. BUT what does my 27 year old son do? And he KNOWS!- "Forgot" and sat in it. .. He will never forget again lol not much sympathy from Mom . I had a chuckle
I will. I have all the ingredients do I'll try this weekend. I'll definitely let you know. I truly appreciate you and all you do for us on the inter-web 😉
Thank you for sharing this info and recipe and the weight of the steamers. I like that the menthol crystals can be crushed into a powder to use. I do know that BeScented does sell it.
I've found that the combination of oils as well as my mica stained the tubs blue. (I use the micas for bath bombs from Nuture Soap.) Is there a way to omit the oils? If so, what should I use in its place? Other than that, they work perfectly.
I never had Icey Hot in my nether bits, but giiiiirl let me tell you. I made a bath bomb with cinnamon bark and I sat in it for three seconds and my nether bits were on fiiiiiiiire! Oh my goodness, This girl was on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no! I squirmed while reading this; I bet that experience is among your most painful in life! Also, every time I hear Girl on Fire from now on, I’m going to think about your cinnamon bath bombs. 😳😂
Oh, also- after seeing what my husband paid for menthol crystals for his e-cig juice formulations (check those suppliers of you're having a difficult time sourcing), I found WSP to have very fair prices and I haven't seen it go out of stock yet.
Yay been waiting for this! I miss my bath since it was removed to make my bathroom a level access wet room as part of my disability adaptions....so no more bath bombs unless I make them as gifts for friends and family. But this will be great for me and my silly sinuses! Xx
I've never made shower steamers, I make 12 dozen other products. However, you bringing this up reminded me how awful my breathing has been this fall from allergies I'm snuffling and drain all night! To much pollen in Tennesse! It happens every fall and spring. I always assumed that you just chucked the whole thing in the bottom of the shower and had at! Evidently not! Ok, so put it in a dish and give a sprinkle, put it on the shelf and enjoy. My dumb ass would have thrown the whole thing under the shower stream and set fire to my feet! That'd be awful! So are these on your website now? I think I'd rather buy yours and see if I like them before investing in menthol and eucalyptus, because I carry neither here in my multitude of stuff! I've never needed it because they aren't the things you put in eye gels, face cream, lotion, etc. Yeah, I make tons of soap and bathbombs, but have a eucalyptus fragrance blend for soap, not eo. The strongest eo I have is peppermint. This is a far cry from that. So I'll buy some from you first to see if it might help my chronic breathing issues, that my daily allergy pill does nada for! Why do I keep picking up a damn pill that doesn't help?. Ok it works a bit, but still take benadryl.! The veterinarian (Dr.) I see says it'd be much worse if I didn't take it! Ok, ok, enough!!! Provided I like yours, at least I'll know if it helps, then I can buy some menthol and eucalyptus! Thank you for the recipe! Jill Gross
I get it! I’m a dozen or so times a year Benadryl user and just suffer through every other day my allergies start acting up. There have been weird comments on loads of videos commenting on my red eyes - I didn’t just blaze up and get on the interwebs; it’s allergies. 😂 Steamers are on the site! soapandclay.com/shop/relaxation-nation/shower-steamers/
Thank you! I've been wanting to make some migraine bath bombs for my mom, but she can't get down into the tub while she's recovering from knee surgery. Shower steamer to the rescue! Yay!
So I tried the recipe but used half of each ingredient. The results were not the best. They just kept rising!!! Ugh!!! What did I do wrong? I used the exact recipe...
First of all thank you for sharing your recipe. My daughter loves it. She is super addicted to this on daily basis. But I have a slight problem. I follow your formula somehow my steamers go floppy and powdery after some days even i keep them in a glass jar. What did I do wrong 😑??
Humidity changes super impact bath bombs; I’ve taken to storing in plastic bags until ready to use until this weather stops being weather around here. 😂
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you. I did store some in zip lock bag. Oh well essential oils leak!!! Then they turn crumbled. However some in a glass jar. Thought they would survive but oh no some days later they joined those in bags. 😅
So the last time I did bathbombs, with my partner, we were stoned. We also did shower steamers. My steamers were nice! A bit too much menthol. It burned my eyes. The menthol we added to our bath bombs at the time was nice though! Much less menthol. We wouldn't HAVE had menthol'd bath bombs if we'd been sober but he convinced me to try... it worked out. I was clear enough to limit it to safe amounts. I noted you just added the crushed menthol to the dry ingredients. I've melted mine into the EOs and carrier oils. They'll melt pretty easily. Have you done that? Is there a discernible difference in performance? Also what does the Epsom salt do for a steamer? Or did I miss that in the video? >_< Sorry if I did...
Well, you and I (and your partner) speak the same love language, because I just drank a few white claws and made some candy cane soaps. Layers. Should be an interesting cut. 😂 I actually include the Epsom salts to help the menthol release into the steam; menthol is also relaxing and curative and all the things we are not supposed to say, so it helps make the situation awesome.
Seriously, not in the tub. I’ve warned you a whole bunch. Go forth and don’t make your nether regions sting.
HAHAHA

I there. Thank you for sharing this video. I've been having a dickens of a time trying to make shower steamers in silicone molds. I'll try it tonight.
If I don't like the way my molds turned out, and they have already hardened can I re-wet them and remold?
Ahhh so many pointers in This video omg I love it! Thank you! I tried your recipe but on a smaller scale with little tweaks here and there. Let’s see how they come out !❤

Cinnamon for yoni soaps?!?! DANGER WILL ROBINSON
I have camphor essential oil I got from a soap supply seller. Could I use that instead of the menthol?
Thank you for sharing!

love your Video's, I always find myself smiling while watching
Haven't watched yet but was patiently waiting for these. I tried before but couldn't get it right. Now, I'm going to sit and learn.
Let me know how it goes!
I will. I have all the ingredients do I'll try this weekend. I'll definitely let you know. I truly appreciate you and all you do for us on the inter-web 😉
Thank you for sharing this info and recipe and the weight of the steamers. I like that the menthol crystals can be crushed into a powder to use. I do know that BeScented does sell it.
I dissolve my menthol in the alcohol and EO. Seems to work well. Thank you for the info on how to have them last longer.. I was curious 🧐
You are so awesome and fun to watch! Thank you for another amazing video 🥰
I'm curious if camphor oil would be an alternative to menthol if it cannot be found.
I love your videos and stories about your kids and your pets.
Does the color stain the tub or shower?
Wonder if it would it be safe for a foot soak?
I've found that the combination of oils as well as my mica stained the tubs blue. (I use the micas for bath bombs from Nuture Soap.) Is there a way to omit the oils? If so, what should I use in its place? Other than that, they work perfectly.

Have you ever tried a vics vapo inhaler stick? About the size of a chapstick but you sniff it and it opens you up. I love them
Haven’t tried that! Will have to do so, thanks!
They are already sold out around here! It's crazy!
Oh, also- after seeing what my husband paid for menthol crystals for his e-cig juice formulations (check those suppliers of you're having a difficult time sourcing), I found WSP to have very fair prices and I haven't seen it go out of stock yet.
"Soap and More" out of Calgary has Menthol, for folks in Western Canada!!
Thank you!!!
Yay been waiting for this! I miss my bath since it was removed to make my bathroom a level access wet room as part of my disability adaptions....so no more bath bombs unless I make them as gifts for friends and family. But this will be great for me and my silly sinuses! Xx
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing recipes 🙌🏼
Thanks for the info!
I was just casually listening to this in the background while I was working and I started lolling at "we like bernie..we just don't like burn-y" 🤣
Any difference between crushing the menthol vs dissolving it in alcohol and using as a liquid?
Thanks!
Does the oil do something specific? I’m just wondering if you need it for just in the shower.
It helps everything stick together so the steamers aren’t fragile.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Just curious, why do you add Epsom salt?
I’ve found that the menthol disperses better with the salts than without.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Ok. learned something new today!

Great video, however, I'm unsure about including the sunflower oil, incase it causes a slippery shower.
Not nearly enough oil in a recipe for that to be an issue.
Where did you buy the chill pill mold???
Do you add a higher quantity of Lavender EO than 1tbs? I have found it gets a bit lost in the menthol smell.
Weirdly, the salts help it not get overpowered, but you could definitely increase!
Is that a silicone or plastic mold?
Issa 3D mold. I picked these up on Etsy.
My God not the nether regions lol love ❤️ your channel
Shower steamers are the best when congested .
I hope your right, because Im going to buy some from Mrs. Soap & Clay!
Thank you! I've been wanting to make some migraine bath bombs for my mom, but she can't get down into the tub while she's recovering from knee surgery. Shower steamer to the rescue! Yay!
Mountain rose has Mynthol crystals shipping is outrageous but they have it lol
What is the blue powder you added?
Just a colorant. Not necessary to the recipe, but since I make multiple versions of these the colors make them distinguishable from the next.
After ALLLLL of that... someone.... will put these IN the tub
I have these and 😳 they will definitely clean your nose out 😂😂 in a good way though lol

Add corn starch to your mix , 2 table spoons works

you use basically 4 tbsp. of different fragrance oil, can I use just one and would it still be 4 tbsps. ?

Oh no! I would say cut back the water,
I melt my menthol when making these.

Second!
