Badger Lavender & Bergamont Sleep Balm

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 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'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 received this little tin of delight as a gift from my Mother who purchased it off Iherb (latest obsession) & when I first saw it, I fell in love with the adorable tin but I was a bit skeptic of the whole concept & idea of a sleep balm made of natural ingredients, when you pop off the lid, the scent is a gentle mixture of Lavender & Bergamot & I was worried that the formula wouldn't be potent enough to have any real effect but this little beauty proved me wrong :) I have had blissful uninterrupted sleep since I've been using it (coming up 2 weeks) & every night I dream & can remember all of it in the morning. You don't need much & the formula is not hard like some of my other tinned products which need a little warming up before you can get a decent application. I put it on my temples, under nose, lips, chest & the aromas are quite noticeable once you've applied :) I am also pleased to announce that my acne prone skin didn't find this product irritating or pore blocking, so super happy that I can apply it anywhere & not break out :) A super gift from a super Mum!

I received a full size sample of the Badger Lavender and Bergamot Sleep Balm in a Goodie Box subscription awhile back. It immediately sounded appealing to me as I love Aromatherapy products. The packaging is cute and looks a bit vintage. I struggle to fall asleep most nights as I work full time and come home to an active toddler and find it hard to wind down most nights. I applied the Badger Balm as directed. It has a really lovely Lavender and Bergamot mix scent. I also tried dabbing a bit under my nose and found it more effective. I definitely felt more relaxed so I could drift off to sleep. I use this most nights and do feel like I sleep better due to the aromatherapy oils in the product.

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.

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 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 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.
