Badger Lavender & Bergamont Sleep Balm

While it didn't exactly work for me it is a lovely smelling aromatherapy option for children. Seems to work better for them. A warm shower , then applying is my best advice.

I love lavender products and I love Badger products so was eager to try this when I saw it on iherb. The product comes if a handy tin but the lid is a bit stiff so can be hard to open at times. I like the texture, it’s quite firm but melts into the skin nicely and doesn’t leave it greasy. The scent is subtle but does last a long time. It’s definitely relaxing but not as good as some other balms I e tried. I found it was more helpful for anxiety than sleep.

I really like this stuff. I was tempted a while ago by lovely ladies in the forums and so made an order from iHerb. I'm always looking for new things to make me sleep better so I couldn't wait to try this.

The balm comes in a tin which is kinda hard to open - it doesn't twist off but pops off with difficulty, I'm yet to work out a way to get it off easily. I apply the balm to my wrists, feet, under my nose, my neck, my temples... literally anywhere, and not in that order (if I put any on my feet it's last!). It's easy to get enough on your finger to do this, and it massages in really easily.

The smell is... different. It's not overly lavender-y and it's definitely not overly bergamot. It IS however, a really nice combination of the lavender, bergamot, rosemary... everything. Every scent in this balm marries so perfectly together, and it really is quite relaxing.

I find that the balm doesn't send me off to the land of nod but it does help my brain to relax. A lot of the time it smears onto my pillow, and I can still smell it the next morning. It's a gorgeous product and I'll buy it again :-)

I have a lot of lavender scented balms and sprays to help us relax and sleep better. I’ve picked this due to the bergamot in it as I like mixing lavender with other scents sometimes, so we wouldn’t get to used to it or bored of it. I can barely smell the bergamot in this, but even the lavender scent is very faint too. The balm is too hard on room temperature, I prefer creamier balms, but this is just my personal preference. However due to it being on the harder side, it lasts ages, barely made a dent in it yet, however sides started rusting as it’s a metal container. I really won’t repurchase this, there are better ones out there.

This has enhance my sleep hygiene by creating the most beautiful aromatic smells of peace and tranquility. I had suffer from insomnia for many years and this little pot of magic is something I cannot go without.

I myself am a very restless sleeper. I have tried many products on the maket not only for myself but for my daughter as well. My daughter calls this the magic sleepy time balm and if is feeling abit unsettled and restless asks for it for. By massaging alittle on her temples she relaxes. She and i loves the smell also. Very relaxing fragrance. Highly recommend even those with sensitive skin.

I bought this for my daughter when she was young, and everynight I would put this on her temples before she went to sleep. I kept this beside my bed and used it myself too. The lavender fragrance is subtle, and does not have fumes so no irritated eyes. having this product is a really good step to add to a nightly routine, as I truly feel it encourages restfulness. Seeing as this is a wax there is no risk of spilling or getting product into eyes.

I got this product from Mighty Ape as a swap for something else that was out of stock. It was $9.95.

I had tried another brand of balm and was keen to see how this compared.

When it arrived I was surprised the tin was very small (12ml).

The small tin it comes in is burgundy and quite cute, with the Badger logo on it. It is easy to open and access the product.

The product is waxy in appearance and consistency, and melts into your skin on application. It absorbs quickly leaving a gentle lavender fragrance on the skin. There is no spillage or waste.

As I have been doing with the similar product, I have been applying it to my temples when getting into bed and find it quite soothing and relaxing, but I can’t hand-on-heart say it helps me sleep, in fact the first night I tried it, I didn’t sleep all night.

I also put some on my wrists when I’m home during the day and inhale it every now and again because I like the smell and am finding it quite calming. I have to be honest, aside from the size of the tin, there is absolutely nothing to distinguish it from the comparable product, except the comparable product comes in a larger pot, so is better value. I guess I could argue that this smaller sized tin is more portable and easy to carry in a bag or even a pocket!

I wouldn’t buy it again knowing there is a more economical product that is almost identical on the market. If I were to recommend it I would also have to point out the comparable brand.

I have a love hate relationship with this product. The fragrance is amazing and smells of lavender. It has not improved my sleep in anyway but the scent sticks around and calms me. Perfect to put on before bed.

I received my Badger Sleep Balm in a GoodieBox, and have reached for it over times of stress, where I struggle to get to sleep, or have a good nights sleep. Even simply reading the words 'Sleep Balm' begins the relaxation process. The tin is compact and discreet, but contains a decent amount of product. The product itself is dense and solid, but is easy to spread onto the skin. I apply it to my temples alongside a little sniff of the tin itself. I have also applied this on my wrists as I sleep with my hands by my face. The scent is pleasant and relaxing without being overpowering. Unlike many other sleep aid products, there is more than just lavender involved. My nose can be a little sensitive at time and it doesn't make me sneeze.

I'm sure there is an element of mind over matter, but this product does work. Compared to my prior state, the Badger Sleep Balm helps me to relax and calm my mind and body. It is a lovely step to add in before bed, to remind myself to switch off from the day and not worry about tomorrow. A little goes a long way and the price is very affordable. At times of heightened stress I did need to combine this with the Rescue Remedy drops and I would recommend an natural supplement over this for anyone with extreme stress, although the two products are the ultimate combination. I will continue to use the Badger Sleep Balm at times of stress. This product would also be a lovely, thoughtful gift for somebody going through a stressful time.
