Amazing as a Bedtime Sleep Ritual

I've seen some bad reviews on this sleep balm and it seems people assume this balm will put you to sleep...not so. This balm contains no drugs and relies only on the scent of essential oils to relax you. You have to use this with the knowledge that it won't put you to sleep, but will help to relax and help aid in centring you to a ritual before bedtime. I use this on my pulse points near to my face so that I'll be able to smell it as I lay in bed. It doesn't break me out even when I put on my temples, behind ears and under jaw/on neck. it IS greasy but as I said, doesn't break me out and is usually dry by morning (You don't need a lot). If you buy this to help you focus on falling asleep and would like to be able to have a nice, earthy scent to focus your attention on to keep the mind from wandering, this balm is for you!

I’m a bad sleeper. I sleep light and it takes me forever to fall asleep once I do finally settle down for the night, so I decided to give Badger Sleep Balm a try.

One of the things I love about badger Balm - every one of their products is USDA Certified Organic & 100% Natural!

MY THOUGHTS
While it isn’t a sleep aid that will put you to sleep, Badger Sleep Balm has essential oils such as lavendar and bergamot that aid in natural sleep - I.E. the mix of essential oils help to clear your mind and put you in the right state for a good night’s sleep.

Sold in a resealable metal tin, this balm has a lovely scent that isn’t overpowering. I usually rub a little on my temples, forehead, and under my nose and I find that when I do use it, I definitely have a more relaxing sleep and I awake feeling refreshed.

It is thick but not overly greasy, and extremely moisturizing. I have used a number of the Badger Balm products because I love how they make my skin feel.

A little goes a long way with this product. I opted for the .75 oz Tin because I was worried it might go rancid if I didn’t use it all up quickly. I’ve had this tin for over a year and still have more than half left. Granted, I don’t use it every night, but I still believe it will last a long time if you are applying it the way I do.

I’ve read some other people use it for their dry hands or all-over for dry arms and legs so if you go that route, I’d definitely buy the larger 2 oz. Tin (which I had before this one).

All in all, I would use this product again and again.
