DIY Clarity Lemongrass Shower Steamers
Unlike bath bombs, shower steamers aren't meant for soaking. Instead, they're placed on the shower floor where warm water slowly activates them, filling your shower with invigorating essential oil vapors.
They're perfect for busy mornings when you don't have time for a relaxing bath but still want to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy.

Benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass essential oil has a fresh, lemony aroma that many people find uplifting and energizing. While everyone's experience with aromatherapy is different, it's commonly used to help create an atmosphere that promotes mental clarity, focus, and a refreshed mood.
The bright citrus fragrance makes these shower steamers especially nice first thing in the morning or whenever you need a little pick-me-up.
Supplies
- ½ cup baking soda
- ½ cup Epsom salts
- 2 tablespoons water
- 30 drops lemongrass essential oil
- Cylinder silicone mold
How to Make Clarity Lemongrass Shower Steamers
1. Combine all ingredients into a small bowl.
2. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
3. Fill 9–12 cavities of the silicone mold with the mixture, pressing it down firmly.
4. Allow the shower steamers to set for about 48 hours until completely hardened.
5. Carefully remove them from the mold.
How to Use Shower Steamers
Place one shower steamer on the floor of your shower where it will get splashed with water but won't sit directly under the strongest stream.
As warm water reaches the tablet, it will slowly fizz and release the refreshing aroma of lemongrass essential oil into the steam.
For the longest-lasting fragrance, place the steamer near the edge of the shower rather than directly beneath the showerhead.
Tips for Success
- Press the Mixture Firmly. Packing the mixture tightly into the mold helps prevent the steamers from crumbling after they dry.
- Don't Add Too Much Water. The mixture should feel similar to damp sand. Adding too much water may cause the baking soda to react before the steamers have time to harden.
- Allow Plenty of Drying Time. Waiting the full 48 hours ensures the shower steamers become hard enough to remove from the mold without breaking.
- Store Properly. Keep finished shower steamers in an airtight container away from moisture and humidity until you're ready to use them.
