how it works
The modern evening has no off switch. You go from the kids to screens to bed with nothing in between to tell your nervous system the day is done, so it stays switched on.
Applying the same scent to your pulse points each night, in the same pre-sleep moment, gives your brain something to learn. Over two to three weeks it starts to associate that scent with winding down, and begins to relax before you've finished applying it. Consistency is the mechanism.
What’s inside
Lavender, with documented effects on anxiety in an 11-trial systematic review. Bergamot, shown to lower cortisol within minutes. Ylang ylang and chamomile to ground the scent. Magnesium chloride, with rosehip, jojoba, shea butter, vitamin E and calendula in a sunflower and coconut oil base.
The scent. Bergamot lifts it at the top; lavender and chamomile sit at the heart; ylang ylang grounds the base. Herbaceous and quiet rather than perfumed, closer to a garden at dusk than a candle aisle.
Sulphate-free, paraben-free, PEG-free, no synthetic fragrance. Certified organic botanicals. Australian-made. Safe and effective for the entire family.
Full Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Beeswax, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Aqua, Lavandula Angustifolia Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil, Magnesium Chloride, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Rosa Eglanteria Seed Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil*, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract* (*certified organic).
how to use
Massage into wrists, temples, chest or the soles of your feet as the last step before bed, and it works the same way on the kids: a massage into their feet after the bath. Apply nightly; the consistency is what builds the cue. For the full ritual, use the Sleep Body Wash 60 to 90 minutes before bed first.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 11 reviews.
Takes a minute to sink in and you barely need any.
Smells nice once it's actually on your skin, but straight out of the jar it's stronger than what I'd normally go for.
Store owner replied: Thanks for the honest feedback Logan. It's a concentrated formula, so a smaller amount usually softens the scent a fair bit. Worth a try if you've still got the jar.
One jar has lasted way longer than I thought it would. The smell settles once it's on. The whole family dips into the same one.
Arrived fast. A dab melts between your fingers straight away and you really don't need more than that, I learnt to use less after the first week. The bergamot stops it smelling like straight lavender.
Store owner replied: Thanks for the lovely review Freya, really appreciate you taking the time!
Working well for my son
You need so little of it, that's the best bit. Warms up between your fingers in a couple of seconds. Another mum kept mentioning it so I finally caved. Came packaged nicely enough that I'd give one as a gift.
Sits on the bedside table, which is the only reason the habit has stuck, out of sight would be out of mind. Warms up in seconds with a small amount. My husband uses it after his shower before reading. Lavender, but soft about it.
Only takes a little, we figured that out fast. Wrists or feet before bed. Goes on easily and the smell doesn't overstay.
A quick step after the evening shower now. We tried the wash first and liked it enough to add the balm.
Can't fault the smooth texture.
