Best Essential Oils for Shower Steamers & Their Benefits

When you step into a hot shower, you’re not just washing away the day’s stress — you’re creating the perfect environment for an aromatherapy boost. Shower steamers, sometimes called shower melts, release essential oils into the air as the water hits them, filling your bathroom with relaxing, energising, or mood-lifting scents.
But which essential oils give you the best experience? Let’s dive into the most popular choices, their benefits, and how Bella Forever uses them in our vegan, cruelty-free shower steamers.

If you struggle to wind down in the evenings, lavender is a must-have. Its floral, herbal scent has been shown to help promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and ease anxiety.
Best for: Night-time showers, stress relief, pre-bed rituals.
 Try it in: Bella Forever Relaxing Shower Steamers with Lavender & Jojoba Oils.

2. Eucalyptus – The Refreshing Decongestant
