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.

from 218 reviewsI already love the shampoo and conditioner bars, but this bundle just made it easy to get everything i need for whole body! Love that i dont have to deal with bottles and everything smells so good
I recently tried the new ParrotFish dog shampoo, and I am beyond impressed! Not only does it leave my dog’s coat incredibly soft and shiny, but the scent is absolutely fantastic—fresh, clean, and long-lasting without being overpowering. Bath time has gone from a chore to a treat! It lathers well, rinses easily, and my dog’s skin seems much calmer and less itchy since switching. You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their dog grooming routine. ParrotFish nailed it with this one!
Gotta tell you this is one of those rare delights of life that continue to give you the little joy in small things.
Now I know you're probably thinking it's a but pricey but it lasts for months and it gives you that squeaky- clean feel with your hands through your hair as you use it, so you know it's top-notch and getting the job done right, unlike some of those greasy petroleum/chemical like fake goop from a mass market thing.
I'm definitely not picky at all about these things usually, except this is one of the true gems that give you a little spark that you've found something special. You won't go back.
And it's compact - no bulky bottles, no plastic, perfect for a workout bag and use at home or on that shower shelf. And the company is top-notch, A+++ customer service and you can just tell they are good people with the occasional handwritten note in your delivery.
Can't say enough and won't use mass market crud again.
P.S. It's all about the Peppermint shampoo for me.
I love this shampoo bar. It lathers and smells so good.
This soap is so delightful. The fragrance is fresh, light and energizing.
This shampoo and conditioner set is top notch! My hair feels the best it ever has and it looks amazing!
I initially found the Parrotfish Argan Oil Conditioner Bar at an Erewhon store and decided to try it. It has transformed my hair from dry, frizzy and wavy to soft, shiny, and bouncy. It brought back my hair large loose curls. I looked up Parrotfish online and decided to buy my second one direct. Fulfillment was quick and shipping too. 😊
I immediately fell in love with this shampoo. I’ve always had oily hair but could never find shampoo that would actually help. My hair has never felt so clean with the peppermint shampoo!! I briefly tried to use other peppermint shampoo bars for convenience rather than shopping online but none of them are as good. I will never use another shampoo again!!
I’m pretty finicky with soap bars but, much like the shampoo/conditioner bars, this exceeded my expectations. If you like citrus black teas like Earl Grey, Lady Grey, or a Breakfast blend then you need to give this soap bar a chance! It produces a rich lather without feeling greasy and doesn’t leave a film-y feeling or residue behind when used (a toss up I’ve come to expect with some oil-based soaps). And the scent! Your whole shower (and you) will smell like a fresh cup of rich and bright tea. I think I have a new favorite for sure in this one! (***This review is not sponsored/paid/etc. I got nothing in return for writing this & expect nothing — except for the Parrotfish team to keep making excellent products, seasonal & otherwise.***)
My hair is soft and hydrated, it's never felt better!
Great product!
This soap bar is quite large, and the scent is refreshing. Seems to have a moisturing effect on my hands. Will definitely buy again.
This stuff is amazing! Best lather of any shampoo bar I've ever used. And the conditioner is nice as well - not so heavy that it weighs down fine hair. Will definitely buy again.
Lasting scent. The scents themselves are calming and delicious
Love this soap bar! The lavender smell is great, not artificial and really relaxing. I have really dry, sensitive skin and the olive oil formulation is great.
