Aromatherapy Shower Steamer
  • A bath-and-body line for customers who prefer showers - These wholesale shower steamers bring the familiar fizz-and-fragrance idea of a bath bomb into the shower, opening the category to people who do not have, or simply do not use, a bath.

  • Essential oils are the point of difference - Each formulation combines a fizzing base with selected essential oils and, in several varieties, visible botanicals such as lavender, calendula, rose or safflower petals.

  • An easy repeat-purchase product - Different aromatic blends give customers a reason to come back and try another, rather than treating the steamer as a one-off novelty.

  • Small enough for gifting and add-on sales - Sell them individually, build them into bath and body gifts or merchandise them alongside essential oils, soaps, bath salts and other aromatherapy lines.

  • Simple product, little explanation needed - The customer places a steamer in the shower and lets water and steam gradually release the aroma. It is an easy concept to demonstrate on packaging, signage or online listings.

  • Made in the UK for Ancient Wisdom's trade bath and body range - The AROSS steamers are handmade in the UK and supplied by Ancient Wisdom as part of its established wholesale aromatherapy and bathroom collection.


 

Shower steamers are one of those products that make immediate sense once somebody explains them: roughly speaking, think bath bomb - but for the shower.

The basic idea is simple. Sodium bicarbonate and citric acid form the fizzing base, while the different AROSS recipes add essential oils and, depending on the variety, ingredients such as flower petals, starch and arrowroot. Once the steamer gets wet, it begins to break down and the warm shower helps carry the aroma around the cubicle.

Perhaps part of their appeal is simply practical. Bath bombs have been a gift-shop staple for years, but not everybody owns a bath. Shower steamers give retailers a related aromatherapy product for a much wider group of customers without asking them to change their normal morning or evening routine.

How does a shower steamer differ from a bath bomb? +

A shower steamer is designed to release its aroma in the warm, steamy environment of a shower rather than being dropped into bath water. It is primarily about the aromatic shower experience, rather than creating bath water in which the customer soaks.

Where should customers put the steamer in the shower? +

Place it on the shower floor or towards a corner where it can become wet gradually. It needs some water to activate, but positioning it directly beneath a powerful stream will generally make it dissolve more quickly. AW's current instructions describe placing the steamer on the shower floor and allowing the water and steam to release the aroma.

Are these fragrance-only shower steamers? +

No. The AROSS recipes use essential oils rather than simply relying on a standard fragrance base. The oils vary by product; examples on the current range include lavender, bergamot, clary sage, spearmint, lemon, eucalyptus, patchouli, ylang-ylang and jasmine.

Can I describe varieties such as Deep Sleep or Anti Anxiety as treating those conditions? +

It is better not to turn the product name into a medical or therapeutic promise. Retail descriptions can explain the essential-oil blend, its aroma and the sort of atmosphere it is intended to create, without claiming that the steamer treats anxiety, insomnia, stress or another health condition.

Who are shower steamers particularly useful for? +

They are a useful option for customers interested in aromatherapy, bath and body gifts and home spa products who prefer showers or do not have access to a bath. They can also work well in gift sets because the product is compact and the idea is easy to understand.

What can I merchandise alongside them? +

Aromatherapy bath products, essential oils, soaps, body care, bath salts and shower accessories are the most natural companions. For gifting, they can also be combined with other small self-care products rather than relying on a bath-only theme.

Do the different colours and botanicals mean every steamer will look exactly identical? +

These are handmade products, and several recipes contain botanical material such as petals, so small visual differences can occur. That does not alter the intended use of the product.

How should the steamers be stored in the shop? +

Keep them dry and protected from moisture before use. Because the fizzing reaction depends on water, prolonged damp or humid storage can start to affect the product before the customer is ready to use it.
