DIY Shower Bombs with Essential Oils

Essential oils are always around our home, especially during cold and flu season. Make your own Shower Bombs and you’ll love the spa-like experience. If you are like me, this combo of essential oils has me breathing easier.

DIY Shower Bombs are easy to make, and they will turn your shower into a spa experience.

Follow my recipe or experiment with your own favorite essential oil combo.

Recipe

Directions

  • Stir baking soda and arrowroot powder together in a glass or stainless steel bowl.
  • Add water.
  • The consistency will be like wet sand, but it should hold together when firmly pressed in your hand.
  • Mix in essential oils.

Add Mixture to a Silicone Mold

Using a silicone candy mold, press the mixture into the wells and let dry about 18 hours. I do not recommend speeding up the process using the oven, to preserve all the goodness of the essential oils.

Storage

Store in an airtight container. It will last a very long time at room temperature. They are fragile, so for gift giving, use a small glass jar and add cushioning!

Usage Tips

Place the shower bomb in your shower out of the direct spray of water. Enjoy inhaling the therapeutic essential oils.

I used a smaller heart-shaped mold, knowing that I can add one or two to the shower. I also can add a shower bomb to a bowl of steaming hot water to use as a vapor tent. Just drape a towel over your head as you bend over the bowl to inhale the aroma.
