Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

Slowly add the lavender essential oil and mix well to evenly distribute.Step 3: Add Moisture Slowly
Lightly spritz the mixture with rubbing alcohol or witch hazel while mixing. I prefer witch hazel. You’re aiming for a damp sand texture—it should hold its shape when squeezed but not fizz.Step 4: Pack Into Mold
Firmly press the mixture into your molds.Pack tightly to prevent crumbling.Step 5: Dry and Cure
Let the shower steamers dry for 24–48 hours before removing from molds.
