BodyRestore Shower Steamers Aromatherapy, Calm (Lavender), 15 Pack

A shower steamer is the shower’s answer to a bath bomb, with one difference that matters: it never touches you. The tablet lies on the shower floor, catches splashes and gives off its scent as it dissolves. BodyRestore’s instructions are one line long – place one tablet on the floor away from the direct stream and let it dissolve slowly as the steam builds.

This pouch is the lavender version, 15 tablets, which the maker says are made with natural essential oils. The listing publishes no ingredient list and no figure for how long one tablet lasts, and the pouch carries sleep and stress claims that are best read as advertising. Many people use a steamer simply to make a five-minute rinse feel like the start of an evening.

Tip: Unwrap the tablet with dry hands and put it at the far end of the shower floor, where it gets splashes but not the stream – under the full spray it is gone in a minute.
