For Sensitive Skin and Allergies

Shower steamers are not applied to the skin, but their ingredients still matter. Inhaling synthetic fragrances or harsh fillers can irritate sensitive individuals. That’s why ingredient transparency is key.

Tips for Allergy-Sensitive Use:

• Use only steamers with pure essential oils (not artificial fragrance blends)

• Ventilate well while using steamers to prevent scent overload

• Avoid direct contact—place your steamer on a tray or ledge

• Patch test oils if you're unsure about sensitivity to specific botanicals

Keem Keem steamers are formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances—making them a better choice for those with sensitivities.

Are Shower Steamers Safe During Pregnancy?

Aromatherapy can be helpful during pregnancy for nausea, stress, or sleep—but certain essential oils are not recommended. Always check with a healthcare provider first.

Pregnancy-Friendly Tips:

• Avoid strong oils like rosemary, peppermint, or clove during the first trimester

• Opt for gentle oils such as lavender or citrus

• Use in moderation—one tablet per day, max

• Avoid placing the steamer directly under water, to slow release and avoid overexposure

Keem Keem’s Lavender Shower Steamers offer a calm, soothing option that’s ideal for sensitive moments.

What About Kids?

Shower steamers are not intended for use on children under 5, but older children may benefit from occasional use—with supervision.

• Choose mild scents (lavender or chamomile)

• Avoid menthol or eucalyptus for younger children

• Make sure the tablet is placed out of reach

Always supervise and consult a pediatrician before introducing essential oils to children.
