1st attempt at shower steamers

[Feelin' Soapy]

UPDATE: Don't know why this isn't showing here. Just go to Moon Cake Cult page on FB. It's in the Files. Here it is from those files:

91 percent alcohol (enough to cover your menthol crystals)
1 oz menthol crystals or 30 grams ( dissolved in your alcohol)
1 cup baking soda or 250 grams
1/2 cup citric acid or 125 grams
1/4 cup cornstarch or 36 grams
colorant of choice is optional
Sift your dry ingredients together and mix well. Add your wet ingredient and mix, ,mix, mix
I can get 8 - 50 grams steamers weighing 1.7 oz each - Judy

When using the MoonCake Cult recipe, does anyone know when/how much FO/EO to add? I'm debating on adding a few drops of spearmint EO as I cannot seem to find that blasted tiny bottle of eucalyptus EO that I KNOW I have around here somewhere.

2-3% seems about right.

Thank you. I guess I should be ok then. I used a teeny little bottle of spearmint EO I have on hand because I'm too chicken to try it in CP soap or lotion. I added about 20 drops to the crystals, then added the alcohol and closed the jar lid until all was melted. I also waited to mix the citric acid into the mixture last based on every other recipe I've seen.
