Shower Steamers 101: Your Questions Answered
We get lots of questions about shower steamers. Here are the ones we hear most, with simple answers.
What Is a Shower Steamer?
It's a small, dry tablet you set on your shower floor. Water makes it fizz, and it lets off scent into the steam.
Is It the Same as a Bath Bomb?
No. A bath bomb goes in the bathtub. A shower steamer is for the shower floor, and it's not meant to go in your bathwater.
What's in Ours?
Our Aromatherapy Shower Steamers are made with essential oils, botanicals and menthol crystals.
How Long Does One Last?
About 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how much water hits it.
Where Do I Put It?
On the floor near the edge of the water, where it gets light splashes. Read more in Where to Put a Shower Steamer.
Can I Rub It on My Skin?
No. It's for the scent, not for washing. Keep it away from your eyes.
Is It Safe for Kids and Pets?
Keep steamers away from little kids and pets. The essential oils are strong.
What If I'm Pregnant or Have Asthma?
Check with your doctor first. Strong scents can bother some people.
How Should I Store Them?
Somewhere cool and dry, not in the bathroom. Humidity makes them fizz early.
Which Scent Should I Pick?
Breathe (eucalyptus mint) for mornings, Calm (lavender chamomile) for nights, Wake Up (orange patchouli) for a happy start, and Zen (lavender sea salt) anytime.
