How Do I Use the Aromatherapy Shower Bombs?
Transform your everyday shower into a relaxing aromatherapy experience! Place your Shower Bomb on a shower shelf, soap saver, or other elevated surface away from the direct stream of water. Allow the steam and occasional splashes of water to activate the Shower Bomb, gradually releasing its wonderful fragrance.
Important Safety Note: Shower Bombs can leave a slippery residue when dissolved. Never place your Shower Bomb directly on the shower floor, as this may create a slipping hazard. For the safest and longest-lasting experience, keep your Shower Bomb on a secure, elevated surface away from the direct flow of water.
Relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy your own little spa experience!

Tell Me About Lye. Is It Safe and Necessary in Soap?
It sure is! Lye is safe, customary, and absolutely necessary when it comes to making soaps. To make soap, a chemical reaction between an oil (or oils, such as coconut oil, organic Shea butter, olive oil, and more) and lye must take place. This process is called saponification. Without lye, soap isn't soap, including even the most natural and handmade soaps, which we offer. Store soaps contain lye and finding this ingredient on the label can take some decoding. It may be listed as ingredients named "sodium palmate" or "saponified olive oil," which are the chemical names for mixing palm or olive oil with sodium hydroxide (lye).
During the saponification (soap curing) process, the lye and oils transform into soap and what was lye is no more. Pretty cool, huh? Now you know!
While not all of our handmade soaps include lye, we thought it important to offer some education on this interesting and relevant topic.
