CES 2023: Kholer’s Sprig Shower System showers you in serotonin

Aromatherapy seems to be the “it” wellness trend right now, and Kohler’s collaboration with Sprig just blew oil diffusers out of the water — or maybe into the water. Kohler announced on Tuesday that at CES it’ll be showcasing a sweet tech and wellness crossover: a shower infusion system that adds natural, calming scents to your shower. 

Not as complex as it sounds, Kohler’s new “system” just consists of an attachable gadget that connects to a showerhead. While the gadget was designed with Kohler showerheads in mind, it’s compatible with most other showerheads, so you can still trick out your non-Kohler shower with the Sprig.

Once the gadget and showerhead are connected, you insert a Sprig pod and the system will release a vitamin-infused, scented pod cocktail into the water. Kohler says the pods should run for “several minutes.” 

Kohler describes the Sprig shower pods as clean and natural with premium, toxin-free ingredients. The Pods are available in both single and multi-use formats and are available in six scents, including eucalyptus, lavender, and chamomile.

The system itself starts at $119, pods included, which could be reasonable if you see it as an in-home spa-like experience. Kohler says the system will be available to order starting in the first quarter of 2023.
