Some of us prefer baths or lack a tub and these shower steamers fit the bill for a shower diffusing experience! They are super similar to bath bombs except we omit the almond oil and epsom salts. We don't want anyone slipping in the shower!
Materials
2 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid
1 cup arrowroot powder
3-5 tbsp water
Essential oils of choice
Clear ornaments, silicone molds, or muffin tin
In a large bowl, add baking soda, arrowroot powder and citric acid. Mix well
Add water and essential oils in a separate small bowl and mix well.
Very slowly combine the wet mixture to dry ingredients, and begin to mix immediately. You may notice some fizzing - just keep stirring. It's important to stir it in very slowly so that you don't activate all of the baking soda and citric acid.
Test the moldability of the mix. You should be able to clump it together. It shouldn't be too wet or too dry. If it's too dry, add 1 tsp of water as needed.
Scoop mixture with both ends to form a ball with clear holiday ornaments or fill each silicone mold or muffin tin.
Remove mold. The mixture should hold its form. You can let it air dry more to keep it's shape for several days. Package and gift or use.
To Use: Take into the shower with you, wet it under the stream of water to get it going. Place the steamer at the far end of the bath/shower stall so that it will last longer rather than disappear too quickly under the steady stream.
