Price & Quantity

2oz - $9.99
0.75oz - $5.99

For the amount you get you might be apprehensive to spend the money, but let me assure you that a little goes a long way! You could used this balm once a day and still have the tin for months to come.

How to Use

Just rub a little balm under nose, on lips, on temples or other pulse points. The aroma calms and relaxes, allowing for a peaceful transition into sleep.

I like to rub a small amount under my nose.

The Verdict

If you like the scent of Lavender you will love this product! I personally only have trouble falling asleep on occasion, but when it has been a long day I'll dab on some Sleep Balm to help relax. I like that it does not have a fake perfume smell that you find in other products. The scent of organic lavender and bergamot is just right to linger without being overwhelming.
