I'm super excited to review this sleep balm. I was a bit dubious at first as I thought it would be just another one of those gimmicky natural products. Anyway, I got one in my beauty subscription boxes and I fell absolute head in heels love with it. I struggle to get to sleep sometimes due to studying and having my head full of technical stuff, so I have been using this sleep balm to settle me in for the night and get me to sleep. The Lavender and Bergamot have nice relaxing properties that help your body wind down. The smell is just heaven and I love the feeling of the balm on my skin. Its easy to apply and I really like how handy the little containers are. You can buy this in a small tin or a big tin, I have the small one, but once this is finished, will definitely be buying a big one. I apply it to my temple, in a downward sweep and massage for about half a minute and then in circular movements at the side of my head. I can feel it working even when I'm massaging and it just feels so good. I love it and I have also purchased other products in their range.

I got this in my GoodieBox a few months ago & I love it! I feel it does calm as it works wonders on my kids. I also use it to massage (although you need a lot of it for that) I love the smell & cute little tin!!
I've purchased this recently and have been using for about a month. I've got to say Lavender is not my fave fragrance but for some reason this blend with the Bergamot is very soothing and calming. I like the way it applies, the balm is very easy to use and you never seem to grab too much out of the pot.
I've been rubbing my temples and also on my shoulders as I sleep with my head tucked up by my shoulder. I sometimes apply to the back of my neck and my throat if I'm feeling particularly wound up.
It doesn't make me fall asleep immediately but I'm very happy as I'm going to sleep way faster than what I used to. I like that it's good value for money and also that it's organic. Thumbs up from me!
This is one of those products that I bought because of the packaging. The tin is just too cute for words!
I bought this on a Badger hoard, and it is probably the balm I thought I would use the least, but thought it would be handy to have, just in case.
It's not too lavendery (I'm not a huge lavender fan and I find strong smells do not help me relax).
The balm is a perfect consistancy - it's not runny nor clumpy and it applies really well - it rubs in to the skin and is absorbed well - you're not left with oily residue.
Does it help you sleep? I'm not sure about that - but massaging it in to your neck and shoulders does feel wonderfully relaxing and the smell is calming.
I think part of it's charm is that by using it you're actively focusing on relaxing - you're not checking your phone or tablet in bed!
Tips: Put a teeny dab under your nose or on your pulse points for a relaxing scent.
I absolutely love these tins they are so cute, vintage type tins and fit perfectly in your handbag or in your bedside drawer.
I just rub a little under nose , temples and on my chest.
It has a sweet slight lavender smell to it, but it's not overpowering at all, it's quite pleasant The aroma really calms and relaxes you, and puts you at peace.
I have been using it every night for at least 2 weeks now and I find it helps to settle my mind, It doesn't put you too sleep but aids to relax you into the transition of sleep. I'm one of those people who goes to bed and my mind just ticks over anything and everything, since I've been using this my mind had definitely been less active. I use it on my little one aswell to help him off to the land of dreams and he just loves it.
The balm is quite moisturising aswell, A little goes a long way once emulsified in your fingers, this product will last you a very long time!
I really love this product and swear by it, for helping me unwind from a long busy day.
I love this balm so much! The tin it comes in is so extremely adorable that I had to have it, it looks very cute on my bedside table. I apply a little bit to my temples and wrists when I go to bed and it is very soothing. It smells great and although I'm not sure if it changes the quality of my sleep much it definitely gives me a nice sense of well-being.
I will admit I purchased the Badger Sleep Balm just because the packaging was cute and it was on special, but I really love this product!
I have now used every night for the last week and I'm not sure if it has improved my sleep but it certainly relaxes me before sleepy time. Even my other half likes to use it now!
I really love the fragrance as it isn't to over powering and I have always loved the smell over lavender, it reminds me of my Nana.
Tips: Gently rub into your temples, your wrists and a little over your sinuses.
I've become a little obsessed with badger balms of late and valid reason too, I have not come across anything that is false to their statements.
The sleep balm is wonderful for those nights when sleep just won't come, or if your too stressed to just let go and relax. The yellow balm inside the beautiful tin is jam packed with essential oils. Rubbing it makes the oils warm which increasing its potency.
At night I rub a small about on my temples, wrist and neck line, I sleep on my wrists so I go off to nod land pretty quickly once I start inhaling this. As stated I would probably be less heavy handed if I had oily skin but luckily I don't and use of the balm doesn't leave any oily mess or reside even on bed linen, no trace of it being on me except the lingering aroma.
Found recently since I started to use it due to the hubby snoring keeping me awake that his snoring in fact has weaken, not sure if the scent is effecting his sleep pattern to a more comfortable easy one but whatever it is I hope it don't stop soon.
I've got two Badger Balms; this and the stress soother and I have to say I absolutely LOVE them!!
This balm is an organic tin of yellow goodness!! Citrus and lavender are the most prominent scents I can smell from this, it does say that there is also ginger and rosemary in it.
This is the last product I apply/use before I go to sleep every night. I rub and work it into my temples, neck and under my nose (so it's the last thing I smell before I drift off). I can't stress enough how utterly yummy the smell is to me.
A little goes a long way with this rub, it is quite solid so unless you dig into it with a spoon, you arent in any danger of using too much of it and you know its going to last for a long time. I got mine from iHerb for a very cheap price so I will repurchase and 100% recommend to all.
I have used this regularly for the past little while but don't find it helps me get to sleep at all. I usually just use pure lavender oil drops on my pillow and find this relaxes much more and aids sleep. I don't find the scent of this is strong enough and have trouble smelling it when it is on. Maybe I'm to used to the strong lavender smell.
I probably wouldn't repurchase or recommend as just plain old lavender oil works a treat for me!
Tips: I use on temples and neck.
