Shower Steamers, The Bath Bomb For Your Shower

Shower Steamers, The Bath Bomb For Your Shower

Shower steamers are a delightful and eco-friendly alternative to bath bombs. If you're not a fan of taking baths but still want to indulge in some aromatherapy and relaxation, shower steamers are the perfect solution. Parrotfish's shower steamers, made with natural and nourishing ingredients, are a great addition to your shower routine. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of shower steamers and how they can help you decongest, unwind, and reduce your water usage.

What Are Shower Steamers?

Shower steamers are similar to bath bombs in that they release aroma when activated by water. However, instead of being placed in a bathtub, shower steamers are placed in the shower, where they are activated by the steam and water. The scent of the steamer fills your shower with a luxurious and indulgent aroma, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

Parrotfish's Shower Steamers

Parrotfish's shower steamers are made with natural ingredients and essential oils that offer a range of benefits. The Eucalyptus Shower Steamer, for example, was created to decongest Katie's nephews during cold and flu seasons. She combined eucalyptus and tea tree essential oils with baking soda, citric acid, corn starch and witch hazel to form a steamer. She puts her two little boys in the shower with a steamer to help loosen the mucus in their chests. Each steamer will last the length of one shower, so when the steamer is finished – so is the shower. "Both of my sons get extremely stuffed up when autumn arrives, so this steamer is a lifesaver for me. I don't have to bargain with them to take medicine or chase them around the house to blow their nose," Brittany explains. Now, her sons have started asking for a steamer during other shower times. Their joy brought her to create an additional scents – Chamomile Blossom (chamomile and lavender essential oils) Now, the boys enjoy washing off and get excited when they choose their shower scent.

 

You may notice that shower steamers have a more fragrant scent than bath bombs. This added aroma is because when using the steamer, your nose is 5+ feet away from it, unlike bath bombs, where you are typically nose-level with the product. It may seem like the scent is too much when holding the steamer up to your nose, but when the product is in action – it has just the right amount of aroma to fill your shower with decadent smells. Although these steamers will not expire, the scent can dissipate over time if not kept in an airtight container. These are not designed to go in your bath or on the skin.

Benefits of Using Shower Steamers

Shower steamers also save water when compared to a bath bomb. On average, a bath requires 50 gallons of water, while a shower uses 2.5 gallons per minute. So, a 10-minute shower using one of our steamers will use half the amount of water and provide the same spa-like atmosphere! Additionally, If we all cut our shower time by one minute, we would save 165 billion gallons of water annually. That's almost 250,000 Olympic-size swimming pools!

 

Parrotfish's shower steamers offer a range of benefits that make them a great addition to your shower routine. They are made with natural ingredients and essential oils, offer a luxurious and indulgent atmosphere, and can help you decongest, unwind, and reduce your water usage. Try them out for yourself and experience the benefits of shower steamers first hand.

Shower Steamers vs Bath Bombs

Shower steamers and bath bombs are both popular options for enhancing your bathing experience, but they offer distinct benefits and usage methods.

 

Shower steamers are designed to be used in the shower, where they dissolve upon contact with water to release aromatic essential oils into the steam. This creates a spa-like atmosphere and allows you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy without the need for a bathtub. Shower steamers are typically placed on the floor of the shower, where they can gradually dissolve as you shower, filling the air with delightful scents and promoting relaxation.

 

On the other hand, bath bombs are intended for use in the bathtub. These fizzy, effervescent balls are dropped into the bathwater, where they dissolve and release color, fragrance, and moisturizing ingredients. Bath bombs create a luxurious bathing experience, transforming your bathwater into a colorful and fragrant oasis. They often contain nourishing oils and butters that can soften and hydrate the skin, leaving you feeling pampered and refreshed after your bath.

 

In summary, shower steamers are ideal for those who prefer showers or do not have access to a bathtub, offering a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. Bath bombs, on the other hand, provide a luxurious bathing experience in the bathtub, with colorful fizz and moisturizing properties. Whether you choose shower steamers or bath bombs, both options can elevate your bathing routine and promote relaxation and well-being.

I have been wanting to switch to bar shampoo to lower my plastic use and love this option. It works just as well maybe better thank liquid shampoo.

Travel Case

I am thrilled to have a case specifically for my shampoo and conditioner bars when I travel. No more plastic baggies! It is a perfect addition to my travel cases.

I found this Nourishing Shampoo Bar at our local HEB Central Market. I wasn't sure what to expect but was super impressed after I tried this shampoo bar. I love the mint scent and that it was effective at cleansing my hair and scalp. I loved the soft feeling afterward. I plan to buy the conditioner bar the next time that I run to HEB Central Market.

Wow! This is my first experience with shampoo in a bar, and I am a big fan. It lathers easily and feels good on your scalp. It rinses out easily and left my hair feeling soft and moisturized when it dried. I like how convenient and small the packaging is, and I like that it claims to replace up to three shampoo bottles.

Best. Duo. EVER.

My family and I are obsessed with the smell, texture, and softness that it leaves our hair after washing. As a blonde, I had to wash my hair once/day or once/two days due to my hair appearing oily after using liquid products, which would then aggravate my scalp; now, I wash my hair once every 3-4 days because my hair maintains shine and softness. For blondies and gray/silver-headed beauties, do yourself a favor and try this pairing.

I have to admit I was skeptical about how this product would preform. I had never used a shampoo bar before. I have very dry long fine hair. A little goes a long way. It foamed up in a great consistency and made my hair feel clean and soft. Gentle yet effective. Great for travel and great for the environment. Smells great and made my hair look (shiny) and feel great.

Best shampoo and conditioner ever

I came back for more because I
love how it makes my hair feel. It controls frizz and also makes it feel soft. I was afraid if I didn’t stock up a little I would run out .

argan oil shampoo and conditioner

I’m always looking for clean and natural products that are safe for me and Mother Nature. I was happy this soap foamed, but it’s not big enough for the cost. I have a lot of hair, but only wash it once a week. Fingers crossed it lasts long.

I love how this product lathers in my hair and leaves it feelings super clean and strong! I have tried other shampoo bars and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

argan oil shampoo bar

this is a great concept and product. no plastic bottle and clean, natural ingredients. there's nothing not to like about it. i hope more companies start doing this. i wish there were more kinds of products like this so i love it but it's very niche and not easy to come by in a regular store.

i have never seen or tried any product like this, i really liked the smell of the peppermint and it did a nice job cleaning my hair, i found this at a local store

I recently found the Peppermint Nourishing Shampoo Bar by Parrotfish at our local Central Market. I was both intrigued and skeptical because many of us don't associate anything in soap bar form with good for our hair. However, Parrotfish figured it out and this is the coolest thing ever! Not only do I love it for the way that it improves my scalp health, scent, and makes my hair shiny, but let me tell you that parents need to know about this! My son is so messy with shampoo and conditioner. I don't even know what he does in there but he goes through liquid shampoo and conditioner like crazy. I also find it spilled. These shampoo and conditioner bars are great for him! I don't know why I didn't know about these sooner, but now I am hooked! My son loves them too because they are so easy to use. He also loves the peppermint scent! Definitely look for these and give them a try!

I really liked the Nourishing Shampoo Bar by Parrotfish. . My only complaint is it is a little pricey. I would like to try the conditioner as well.

Debbie S.

I have never tried using a bar form shampoo but this works. The clean ingredients was a plus and my hair felt fabulous after. Who knew this would work so well?! It is pricey so perhaps it will be an occasional treat!
