The good stuff
Organic Coconut Oil
We only use unrefined, raw, organic coconut oil. Like coconuts themselves, coconut oil is rich in essential fats. These fats keep skin healthy and rejuvenated, both internally and externally. Coconut oil is a brilliant moisturiser for all skin types, especially dry skin and is safe for babies and kids making an excellent nappy and skin cream. It also speeds up the healing process of bruises by helping to repair damaged tissue, it penetrates deeply and is nutrient rich. Also amazing to use if your kids have nits!! We adore coconut oil for its therapeutic activity and use it as a base of many of our products.
Organic Beeswax
We only use natural unbleached organic beeswax in our natural sleep aid. Beeswax has a number of benefits for the skin, including an anti-inflammatory action that helps to calm and soothe. It forms a protective barrier on the skin to guard against irritants and lock in moisture. Unlike ingredients made from petroleum, beeswax doesn’t suffocate the skin and won’t clog the pores. It is excellent to use for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. I have chosen to use organic unbleached beeswax for its skin healing properties. It’s also antibacterial and soothes tender skin! Bees are amazing and are in great danger around the world. Bees are not harmed during this process of the removal of the wax. We adore and respect our bees!
Organic Carnauba Wax
Carnauba wax is a vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree (Copernica cerifera) known as the “Tree of Life.” Carnuba Wax is known for its beautiful hydrating properties increasing moisture in the skin as well as naturally protecting it.
Organic Lanolin
Lanolin is a natural and organic substance that is mainly known for its moisturizing effects on the skin. It provides a smooth barrier which protects the skin and is a natural emollient.
Organic Lavender Essential Oil
We are obsessed with organic lavender essential oil. We feature it in almost all of our products because it benefits almost every body system. Lavender essential oil smells divine and is an excellent tonic for the nervous system soothing and relaxing and supporting healthy nervous tissue function. Brilliant for anxiety, migraines, headaches, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. Lavender is one of the three essential oils which most powerfully stimulate the growth of healthy new cells – Tea Tree and Neroli are the others. Lavender has numerous active constituents but above all, it is primarily the balancing and normalising action of the oil which makes it so beneficially versatile.
Organic Sandalwood Oil
Sandalwood has beautiful benefits in promoting mental clarity and is known for it’s relaxing and calming properties.
Organic Cedarwood Oil
A beautiful warm woody essential oil designed to give comfort known for it’s support of the respiratory and nervous systems.
Wild Crafted Murunga (Kakadu Plum)
This miracle of nature is from the Kimberleys in Western Australia and is a potent, natural wholefood source of Vitamin C and a beautiful emollient designed to soothe the skin.
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium is an amazing mineral to promote nervous system function. When we are stressed our magnesium levels lower. Magnesium actually increases the serotonin levels in the body to help you achieve calmness. Magnesium is a super important mineral to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Homeopathics/ Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies are a safe and natural method of healing discovered by Dr. Bach from 1920 – 1930’s in England. They gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting out negative emotions such as fear, worry, and indecision, which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole. The Bach Flower Remedies allow peace and happiness to return to the sufferer so that the body is free to heal itself.
The Bach Flower Remedies are made from wild flowers and are safe for the whole family including pets and children. There are no known side effects or allergic reactions.
Rock Rose for terror and panic
Cherry Plum for unsettled thoughts
White Chestnut to calm the mind of worrying thoughts.

I can’t believe how well this works, we all use it if it’s needed and it produces the most beautiful sleep. I bought it for my five year old daughter who finds it so hard to wind down. Evenings are now enjoyable as it really helps her relax before bed which then helps her have a really good sleep. It smells beautiful and I highly recommend it for all ages.
Chenae Butler (verified owner) –
I absolutely love this product, It is now part of my 4 year old daughters routine, the difference is huge if she doesn’t have this on.
Louise (verified owner) –
Like sleeping in a comforting cloud, the minute I open the jar and my boys smell it’s scent it has an instant calming effect (on us all). I have tried so so many techniques and rituals to help my twins get to sleep and this balm is it! The fact that it so simple is a real plus. It become part of our bed time wind down routine and we all absolutely love it cause it works!

Since I started using Sleepy Head Balm recently on my 6 month old my husband & I are no longer struggling to calm and settle our little one! We get to bed 3 hours earlier!! Our little one is so calm, happy & Falls asleep and stays asleep for many more hours than usual. I completely recommend this product! It smells incredible & also helps relax me too!
Zoe (verified owner) –
I read all the reviews and heard great things about this product.
I did find postage took a while but understandable with the COVID situation.
It smells amazing and isn’t greasy or overpowering in smell. It lasts all night and didnt wear off quickly.
I could still smell it in the morning.
I have not had much improvement with my son’s sleep yet, but I will continue to use it with his bed time routine.
I do love this product and would buy again.

I bought this as it was recommended by a few people. Our little man can at times be stubborn and refuses to drop off to sleep. Since we’ve been using this, I’d say he definitely drops off quicker. Definitely worth a try.
Megan (verified owner) –
I purchased this for my daughter, unfortunately it has only helped slightly. BUT, I did decide to try it myself and had a great nights sleep!
Naomi Hess (verified owner) –
I brought the sleepy had balm for my daughter cause she wasn’t sleeping through the night I used it on her every night didn’t really help and I brought the chest run for my son cause he was sick it helped him a lot

My daughter (1yr) was waking up 3 times a night I thought I would give it a go. The first 2 nights nothing changed and I thought this product does not work….but I kept trying and night 3 everything changed. I put it on as directed on the bottle and she goes down by herself without a fight and is now sleeping for 12hrs a night with ZERO wake ups! I suggest to anyone keep trying and give it a go it actually does work me and my partner have our sleeps back.

Absolutely in love with Sleepy Head Balm. Our 5month old would not settle. It worked from the first night and goes off to sleep and sleeps till morning. Wow, always sceptical but not disappointed. Have reordered. Don’t want to be without it. Thank you.
Abbie (verified owner) –
I have used it for a few nights in a row and it has made no difference. My baby is wakes every 2-3 hours
Tina Brown (verified owner) –
Absolutely brilliant! I am delighted and have my sceptic scientist husband using it nightly. He used to sleep hardly at all now only wakes twice a night most nights. Just recommended to my NZ girlfriend who is also known to suffer insomnia. I will be buying it again and again!!

My son has never been a great sleeper but at around 18 months old he started waking up at least once a night (but more often than not two or three times) every night screaming hysterically for what felt like hours. He would wake everyone up: my husband who had to get up at 5 am for work, two of our daughters who had a long day at school the next day, our newborn baby girl, and of course this very tired mum as well. We had hoped it would be a short lived phase but after 3 months we finally had enough and my husband ordered this. I wasn’t too sure about it but we gave it a try anyway. We’ve only been using it for a few days now but so far so good! He’s slept through every night we’ve used it and we could not be happier!
chnar (verified owner) –
I was sceptical at first but desperate enough to try anyways. First 3 nights didnt go so well but now its another 3 nights and she has been sleeping through out. I cant tell you how happy I am that it actually actually works. We worked it into her bedtime routine so now she asks for it before her bedtime stories are read. It smells amazing and really does work!

Hasn’t really worked yet but will keep trying
Leilani Nasuti –
Wow, what can I say? I purchased the sleepy head balm and I have been using it only for a few days so far on my nearly 10month old that never sleeps through the night and takes forever to get to sleep at night and it has been my life saver! I love it, she goes to sleep within 5-10 minutes and has been sleeping through the night, it’s still early days using it but so far so good, I am not disappointed at all. Even for nap time during the day it has been working wonders, she would normally only nap for 15-20minutes twice a day and now she has been napping for 40minutes to an hour each day. I still have a full jar but am about to purchase more jars. Thankyou for creating this product.

I have been using th3 balm for 3 months and have been enjoying a great nights sleep. I was sceptical but it worked for my grand daughter who was not sleeping well so now the whole family is using your great product. Thankyou
Stacey Packer (verified owner) –
We have only had it for a week and so far so good. My 8 year old has truble going to sleep and wakes up a few times through the night. But this balm is starting to help her have a good night sleep. Very happy i got it. Thank you
Julie Collins (verified owner) –
I bought the product for myself because I (at 65) have difficulty getting off to sleep. I have used it now for a few nights now and I am loving the delicious fragrance. I’m also massaging into my knees and am noticing some positive results.
I use it on my temples and wrists, but also rub some under my nose. I find I’m well aware of it, and not thinking about the stress in my head and I’m nodding off sooner… yay!! Feeling way more relaxed.
Thanks Nourish Me for an excellent product!!
Love Julie… ❤

Been using this for nearly 2weeks on our daughter who’s 2 next month it has calmed her a lot to go to sleep easier. Although she’s teething no change in sleep pattern yet but maybe it needs more time
Fransiska Mayasari –
I have 10 months old boy and had difficulty to sleep as he loved to cruise all night and trying his new skill to its perfection. I have 2 other kids to attend as well.
You can imagine how roller coaster my night time when he woke up and had his busy mind applied in the middle of the night! Woke every morning with grumpy and tired face of mine. Lord have mercy!!
This balm is the answer to my prayer!! My hubby bought this and I was eager to apply it at first time I received it. Then the result amazed me! He fell asleep 5 mins after and slept from 7.30-4.30am.
Absolutely in love with these product!!
Deb Mason (verified owner) –
Our granddaughter is much calmer, however no change in sleep pattern. Maybe it will come in time, but the calmness is being enjoyed by all. Ordering and delivery was very prompt and efficient.

Such a great product as I was referred the product from a friend and it is amazing. My daughter is sleeping so much better with the sleepy head balm. Thanking you as we have tried so many products on the market and this is the one

I purchased the sleepy head wash and balm pack and my word what a change!
Initially I bought the pack for my cranky 1 year old grandson who has never slept a full nights sleep. He was teething (cross cutting) and had to stay with me while his mum worked so I really had nothing to lose.
The moment I put him in the bath I saw him relax…no big deal right? I thought so too.
I got him out and the tantrum started, got him dressed, the tantrum kept on, put the balm on…even as I was putting it on you could see him visibly relax!
He didn’t sleep the first night, or the second, but on the third night he was out cold at 8pm and down for a 10hr sleep! It’s still working and I couldn’t be happier.
My partner hasn’t slept well for 6 months so I convinced her to use the wash as well, let me tell you it really does work for all ages!
Well done guys, you’ve saved my sanity!
Kellie (verified owner) –
I purchased this for my daughter to use when she is sleeping for night shift driving trucks at the mine.. It’s awesome she is very happy she said her sleep is solid and she doesn’t feel groggy when waking up!

My 2 yr old grandson had his first full night sleep in a long long time. His dad was ecstatic.
Thanks 123 Nourish Me!

Very happy, It’s helped a lot. My son stay a sleep longer at night and relaxing him before bed, so no staying up to 10:00pm because his not sleepy. He’s now in bad a 7:30pm

I’m 64 years old and was having sleep issues due to my husband’s tragic death. I took over the counter sleep aids for awhile, but didn’t want to continue that. My daughter had bought this for her toddler – I used it and am a believer. I use it every night – and can tell a huge difference when I forget to use it. This balm works.

Worth the wait
I bought this balm to try on my grandchildren when they come to stay, while waiting I decided I would use it as I’ve been a lousy sleeper since having my own children ( busy minded) I found it to be very calming and relaxing beautiful fragrance and I don’t wake as often through the night. When the grandchildren came to stay I tried it on them both as only the 3 year old is usually hard to settle he went off to dreamland 5 min after I applied it, the 6 year old just wasn’t ready to go to bed but I like to keep them regular so I tried it on him as well and he was in dreamland 5 min later too. The best yet to come they didn’t stir all night and slept for over 11 hours.
Anyone reading reviews it’s definately worth a try you’ll be amazed.
Mary Aitchison (verified owner) –
Wonderful product, beautiful fragrance, we now use it every night to settle our three year old grandson he asks us to put it on every night now. Highly recommend this super Australian product to everyone now.

Have been using on my 16 month old grand daughter. Hasn’t help yet but will keep trying.
Shannyn Watson (verified owner) –
This product has worked a treat for my 8 month old son.
He was waking every 2 hours through the night and is now waking only once or twice for a bottle over a 12 hour night sleep.
It’s been an asset to our nighttime sleep routine.
Many thanks!

Miracle Worker!!!! OMG I can’t rave about this enough. I purchased this for my 2 year old who was having a lot of trouble at bedtime the first night he fell asleep in about 10 mins and has continued that for a week now. I also use it on my 5 year old and same results..
This is simply sleepy time GOLD in a jar….
Thank you

I can’t really say at this time as it hasn’t worked for the first week, might be cuz our 1 year old is going thru teething. Shipping and notifications are a lil slow but due to covid I can’t really blame anyone. Smells nice and if the bubs won’t use it I will.
Christina (verified owner) –
A perfect addition to our sleep routine, my 2yo daughter loves it and falls asleep within 10 minutes every night! 🙂
