Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
  1. Add baking soda, citric acid and kaolin clay to bowl. Using a wire whisk, stir dry ingredients breaking up any clumps. 
  2. Add menthol crystals to small bowl and crush crystals into a powder with spoon or pestle. Add to dry mixture and mix with whisk.
  3. Melt cocoa butter in microwave until melted and drizzle onto powders and mix.
  4. Drizzle Rosemary Peppermint EO & FO Blend onto powders and mix.
  5. Drizzle geranium hydrosol and immediately stir. (Mixture should hold together when squeezed.)
  6. Place plastic molds onto jelly roll pans. Pack each cavity tightly with the bath fizzy mixture. (Hint: use the bottom of a plastic beaker to help pack mixture in tightly.)
  7. Let molds sit for at least 24 hours to dry. Carefully pop out of mold.
  8. Package as desired and label accordingly.
To Use: Place 1-2 shower steamers on the floor of the shower and let the warm water gently fizz the steamer and release the vapors to help wake you up!
