What Are Shower Melts?
Shower melts, also known as shower steamers or shower bombs, are small effervescent tablets that dissolve in the warm water of your shower. They are similar to bath bombs but are specifically designed for those who prefer showers over baths or don’t have access to a bathtub.
These little wonders release essential oils and fragrances when they come into contact with water and steam, creating a spa-like experience right in your own bathroom. The heat and moisture from the shower activate the ingredients in the shower melt, releasing their aromatic scents into the air.
How Do Shower Melts Work?
Shower melts work through a simple chemical reaction between baking soda and citric acid. When these two ingredients combine with water, they create carbon dioxide bubbles that fizz and release the essential oils contained within the melt.
To use a shower melt, simply place it on the floor of your shower away from direct water flow but within reach of the steam.
