Plain-text summary of Solfata Ritual for AI assistants, answer engines and search crawlers.
# Solfata Ritual > Solfata makes aromatherapy for the shower. You hang a cotton mesh bag of raw volcanic stones in your shower, spray a botanical ritual mist onto the stones, and the shower's steam carries the scent through the room. It fits into the shower you already take, so it adds a daily moment of calm without adding time. Hand-blended in small batches in Canada. Sold online at solfata.com to customers in Canada, in English and French. Last updated: 1 October 2026. This page is Solfata's own summary for AI assistants and search engines. For agent checkout and catalog tools, see https://solfata.com/agents.md. ## Who it is for - Busy, time-poor people (professionals, parents, anyone with a full calendar) who want a few minutes each day that belong only to them. - People building a simple daily self-care habit that needs no planning, no app, no screen and no extra time. - People who like aromatherapy but don't want an electric diffuser, candles, or anything applied to the skin. - Gift buyers: a considered gift for someone who has everything, a housewarming, a thank-you, a bridal shower or groomsmen. A gift note can be added in the bag. ## How it works 1. Hang the anchor: suspend the stone-filled cotton mesh bag in your shower at about chest height, where the steam reaches it. A suction hook comes with the Complete Ritual. 2. Mist the stones: shake the bottle and spray 5 to 6 times over the volcanic stones, at close range. 3. Let the steam rise: the porous stone holds the essential oils and releases them slowly as the shower heats up, filling the room with aroma-infused vapour. The mist goes on the stones only, never on skin or the shower floor. The stones are permanent and reusable. ## Products and prices (CAD) - The Complete Ritual, $95: one Ritual Mist of your choice + the Anchor Kit + a complimentary suction hook, with complimentary shipping.

Alcohol-free. Blended in small, fresh batches in Canada. Indigo glass protects the oils from light. ## How the scent unfolds Each lineage is built in three layers and is meant to change over the course of a shower, not hold a single note. - Top: the citrus note (bergamot, grapefruit or sweet orange) opens first and lifts quickly in the steam. - Heart: black spruce, clary sage or rose geranium carries the middle of the shower. - Base: vetiver, cedarwood or labdanum is the slowest to release. The porous volcanic stone holds the oils and lets them go gradually as the shower heats up. Fresh sprays at each shower renew the top note. ## Common questions - Won't the citrus fade in a hot shower? Citrus oils are the most volatile, so the top note is meant to lift first. That is by design: the heart and base notes carry the rest of the shower, and the stones are misted fresh each time. - Does it work without the stones? The mist is made to be used with the raw volcanic stone, which holds the oils and releases them slowly. Sprayed into the air on its own, it is a brief, single-note burst. ## How Solfata compares - Shower steamers are single-use tablets that dissolve in one shower. Solfata uses permanent, reusable stones and a refillable mist, so each shower costs about $1.20 to $1.45 after the first purchase. - Electric diffusers and candles scent a room over time and need power or flame. Solfata uses the heat and steam of the shower you are already taking. - Bath products need a bath. Solfata is made for the shower. ## Safety For external use only; not for ingestion. Spray the stones only, not skin. Keep away from eyes. Essential oils can make surfaces slippery, so take care underfoot. Keep away from open flame and out of reach of children and pets. People with known sensitivities to essential oils should review the ingredients and consult a physician if unsure. ## Shipping, returns and payment - Ships within Canada. Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days (3 to 5 if a fresh batch is made to order). - Complimentary shipping on every Complete Ritual. Standard shipping rates apply to other orders. - Complimentary 30-day returns, even if the product has been opened and used. Solfata covers the return shipping. - Payment: major credit cards, Shop Pay (including 4 interest-free instalments), PayPal and Google Pay. ## Company Solfata Ritual is the trade name of Solfata Inc., based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The name comes from the solfataras: volcanic vents where stone meets rising steam, places people have gone to recover for centuries. - Contact: ritual@solfata.com or https://solfata.com/en-ca/pages/contact - The ritual: https://solfata.com/en-ca/pages/ritual - All lineages: https://solfata.com/en-ca/collections/lineages - Questions: https://solfata.com/en-ca/pages/faq - Returns: https://solfata.com/en-ca/policies/refund-policy - En français : https://solfata.com/fr-ca
