I absolutely love a good bath bomb, there is nothing quite like a bath full of brightly coloured water which smells as insane as it looks, but not everyone has a bath, so there must be something to use in the shower? Well Amoorra, a brand I spotted in my local Holland and Barrett grabbed my attention.
Describing themselves as “The Original Bath Bomb For The Shower” Amoorra Shower Bombs are 100% natural, and claim to transform your shower into a spa-like experience... harnessing the powerful therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy. Well that was a good enough description for me to make a purchase and I bought three - Breathe, Calm and Peace and the other three options are Sleep, Refresh and Awaken. So what does each one do?
Amoorra Shower Bomb Breathe is said to be ideal for those days when you have a blocked, stuffy nose and are feeling just meh. The tablet becomes activated by steam which is released from your shower when the hot water runs. The Shower Bomb Breathe releases a eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint infused aroma which helps to clear a stuffy nose and help to breathe easy.
This has so far been my favourite of the three shower bombs that I have tried, the scent is almost instantaneous as it comes into contact with the water vapour and it certainly does help to clear those sinuses - detail of which I won’t go into. The use of peppermint, which is the fairly potent works really well with the Rosemary and Eucalyptus.
Then we have the Amoorra shower bomb in Calm. This is a tablet that has been infused with chamomile, clove and cardamom all of which are know for their properties which promote calming and warming, which in turn creates an aroma to help enrich the mind.
With this one, the hint of Cardamom is most definitely present and it is slightly held back by the clove which is also fairly dominant a scent. However, as the vapour and table come into content and it settles, the chamomile eventually comes through and it is a really lovely scent.
Finally we have Peace and this shower bomb uses Rose & Jasmine which together I absolutely adore. Said to have been perfectly blended to help boost your self-esteem, self confidence as well as helping to lower anxiety. We then have Musk which helps to stimulate circulation and sharpens the senses for mood boosting properties.
Rose is the dominant scent within this shower bomb and again once the steam from the shower is flowing, there is a hint of Jasmine but I don’t smell musk. I can’t help but I do like the scent of this as I adore both Rose and Jasmine together.
Using these shower bombs is really easy and thankfully Amoorra offer up some advice on how to get the nest experience from their product.
- Firstly you need to run your shower to your usual desired temperature. The hotter your shower is and more closed-in, the more steam will be produced and the more you will get from your experience
- Make sure you take the time to enjoy the Shower Bomb and the scent it has to offer, breathing in the aroma. For me, I always use it before washing, just so the aroma isn’t mixed with my body scrub or shampoo.
So when it comes to actually using the Shower Bomb take the tablet out of the tin, which Breathe comes packaged in, the other two are in small sealed plastic bags, then place on the shower floor, but it needs to be out of the direct flow of the shower – off to the side or corner is best, then as the hot water comes into contact with it, the scent mixes with the vapour/steam and fills your bathroom.
