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.

This is without a doubt our most important ingredient in every one of our products, and Sleepy Head Balm natural sleep aid is no exception! Our beautiful Sleepy Head Balm is made lovingly and filled to the brim with love and hugs and designed to promote and enhance the health and wellbeing of your family.

No more “Mummy, I can’t sleep”
Absolutely love this product. Great way for a relaxing chest massage before bed. The smell is just so amazing. We love it.
Sandy Siebenhausen (verified owner) –
Lovely way to relax my Grandsons before bed, really calms them and we all have a good nights sleep.
Lucero Yee (verified owner) –
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well for my daughter. It almost seemed like it gave her more energy, but I use it on myself and it works wonderfully for me! The smell instantly calms me.
Lisa (verified owner) –
My son has always had issues with falling asleep. We’ve been using Sleepy Head Balm for over 12 months now and the results were instant. We told him it was magic potion that would help him. It did! He’s 8 now and still asks for the potion each night. Love it!
Bianca G. (verified owner) –
Works well and smells amazing!
Haley (verified owner) –
I have twin two year olds that seem to take turns not sleeping the night. After a lot of research I found sleepy head and decided it couldnt hurt. Oh man did it change things. I thought people exaggerated when they say it helped but they did not. If we miss a night they toss and turn and eventually wake up at some point. I have a new baby and I’m counting down the weeks til we can use it on him!
Carol Burgess (verified owner) –
We love Sleepy Balm, a little on my three year old grandsons temples, wrists and soles of his feet and he calms right down and lulls himself to sleep. Also I suffer from PTSD and use Sleepy Balm on my temples and wrists when my anxiety is too bad for me to sleep. The soothing balm helps relax me enough to often overcome the anxiety and accompanying fear to drift off to sleep. Sleepy Balm is a great, natural product that is a must in our home. Thanks
Jen Collins (verified owner) –
Love it as part of our nighttime routine. Can’t say it’s magically making my daughter sleep – I don’t think anything can fix that, but it does seem to help calm her down and she likes the massage. This latest jar (I’m on my third!) doesn’t smell as strongly of essential oils as the others I’ve had, but maybe I’m just used to the smell now. Love that it has the magnesium in it, it’s hard to find products with magnesium for little ones.
Carol Burgess (verified owner) –
Sleepy balm is great, a natural product to help lull my three year old grandson to sleep, we also put it on the soles of his feet as that is a sensitive spot for natural oils or sleepy balm, it helps that little bit extra. Also I suffer from PTSD and it helps relax me so I can get a little sleep during the bad times.. would recommend to everyone to give it a try.
Alex (verified owner) –
What a beautiful aroma, this stuff is amazing. It is gentle, calming and works very quickly on my toddler. It has become part of our daily routine and it leaves me feeling more relaxed too. Highly recommend Sleepy Head Balm. I was also impressed how my parcel was packed, with love 🙂
Sara (verified owner) –
Amazing!
My little one really struggled to clam down at bed time and would get so worked up. This product is gentle & calming and part of our bedtime routine. Couldn’t recommend it enough
Paige (verified owner) –
This stuff smells amazing and it seems to help my 9 month old decompress when I rub it on his temples at night! Still waking up once or twice in the night so that is why I gave it 4 stars. I hope it soon helps him sleep all night! I’ve even used it on myself and it helped me relax.
Dawn (verified owner) –
I bought this for my friend to see if it would help settle her daughter, neither of us really thought it would make any difference, but thought it was worth a try. Well we are doubters no longer, my friend now calls it gold balm and won’t be without it.
Chelsea (verified owner) –
I have been using this product for a week. My baby (almost 2) still takes a while to fall asleep but he seems t ok sleep more soundly and has stopped hopping in bed with me in the middle of the night.
I love the smell and consistency of the balm. It goes on very smooth.
Shelley Foster (verified owner) –
Using as part of our 5 months old night time routine, smells Devine and textured is smooth and not greasy.
hubby even used it as he was enjoying its scent on our daughter.
Melinda De Haas (verified owner) –
My 12 year old daughter has never been a good sleeper but the sleepy head balm
Works for her every night she loves it and I’ll keep using it if it works. ThAnkyou
Rhiannon Lloyd (verified owner) –
Has definitely made a difference to getting our 2yr old to sleep at night. Usually an hour long marathon to get her to sleep, we now give her a massage in bed with the sleepy balm and she’s happy to stay in bed by herself and usually asleep in under 10mins. Unfortunately hasn’t really helped with the constant wakes through the night, but she does seem to go back down a lot quicker than she was.
Jess Keran (verified owner) –
On day four so far, my daughter was waking multiple times at night but since using this product we have had 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night!
Julia Corvisy (verified owner) –
Both my kids have had trouble going to sleep until we discovered Sleep Head Balm. Now bedtime is a much happier and calm experience. It’s a must in our house
Wanita (verified owner) –
My kids sleep so much better when I use the sleepy head balm. It seems they get into a deeper sleep!
Megan (verified owner) –
So glad I purchased this for my twins. They’re settling so much better at night. Definitely be a permanent night time routine!
josephine watson (verified owner) –
I love the smell of this , it’s just divine . My 4 year old has always struggled to get to sleep but after putting her “ sleepy cream “ on its so much easier for her to crash for the night 🙂
Angie S (verified owner) –
We’ve been using Sleepy Head balm for a little over a week now with our 4.5 year old son, with sporadic results. The first 2 nights his sleep pattern was the same; didn’t fall asleep until after 9pm and still woke at 5:30am. However nights 3 and 4 he was a different child! Fast asleep by 7:30pm and slept in so long I actually went to check on him at 7am! We were back to normal last night, not falling asleep until after 9pm but I’ll keep it up and hopefully it works again
Becky (verified owner) –
Didn’t change my 9mth old’s sleeping at all, smells so divine though I think I might use it myself

Kris Logan (verified owner) –
Fast shipping to NZ. I Have just started using the balm, no difference in my 2 and 3 year old falling to sleep any faster at night, my 3 year old still takes around 45min to drift off. But it’s only day 5 so we will keep using it and see.
Arundee (verified owner) –
My daughter 15months always crys to sleeping on my chest, after using Sleeping Head Balm- she never cry to sleep any more. She is going to sleep without stressful anymore. She smiles and sleeps in minutes through the night . That’s wonderful and great products. I try with myself, it works it make me relax and sleep well too. We loves it xxoo ^_^
Arundee (verified owner) –
Really lovely product, my daughter went to sleep without stressful any more. She loves it and enjoys it. She sleeps with minutes and still smiles during sleep ^_^
ALICIA (verified owner) –
Works well and smells amazing.
My 9 month old has been having trouble sleeping. I started using sleepy head balm and sleepy head bath wash and within a week his sleep was so much better. He is now only waking 1 – 2 times through the night as oppose to every 1 – 2 hours and he is also much easier to settle
Katrina –
Amazing! Couldn’t get my 7.5 month old to sleep through. She would wake continually between midnight and 6am. Now she sleeps from 6.40 till 4 (for feed) and then 4-7. Thank you 🙂
Alison Toft (verified owner) –
Over the years I have tried many sleep aids but nothing worked. I saw an advert on Facebook for this recently so thought I’d try it. I have slept really well the last few nights since I started using this product. Thank you
Erika (verified owner) –
Unfortunately it doesn’t work for us.
No effect what’s so ever.
MCampbell (verified owner) –
Only been using this for a few days but it seems to be working, fingers crossed it continues to help my kids sleep. Lovely smell & easy to use
Erin (verified owner) –
My daughter and I love this product. Every night she reminds me to put it on her. I have noticed such a difference in her, she doesn’t seem to toss and turn so much while trying to fall asleep. The smell is great too!
Selina Mainwaring (verified owner) –
Immediate results my toddler had more settled night and started sleeping in and extra 1-2 hours from first use .
She also asks for it as bedding time is approaching .
Also smells Devine .
Already recommended to several friends .
Highly recommend
Tami (verified owner) –
Oh my goodness, this balm is like magic! I’ve been using it on my 18 month old granddaughter and I can visibly see her wind down while rubbing her feet with it. I add a little to her temples and under her nose and she’s out within minutes! I need to order this on autoship! I never want to run out!!!
Sabrina (verified owner) –
My 2 year old and 4 year old boys share a room and both have had difficulty sleeping through the night since infancy. I saw the advertisement on FB and figured we would give it a shot. It has been a little over a week since we started using the balm and essential oil in their diffuser and we have seen a drastic difference! They are both sleeping through the night and as soon as my infant is old enough he will be using it as well. Words cannot express our gratitude.
Rosie Mani –
Unfortunately this didn’t work my little one. already applied 2 nights and my little one still wakes up at twice at night.
Sylvia (verified owner) –
Both my kids slept through the first night. I thought it must have been a fluke. Then slept through the second, third and fourth night. This can’t be a coincidence! I feel like superwoman/mum with 7 hours of straight sleep now. Thank you sleepy balm!
Hannah (verified owner) –
I was very unsure about purchasing this product and would add it to my cart and then take it back out for months on end. I decided I would finally purchase it when ordering other products because what else did I have to lose when I already wasn’t sleeping.
Now my only regret is not purchasing it sooner!
I absolutely love the smell and my children’s quality and length of sleep has improved out of sight.
Bec Robertson (verified owner) –
We have used sleepy balm for over a year now. My busy 6 y.o. daughter has always struggled winding down, but adding this into our night time routine has definitely cut down the time it takes her to fall asleep. My niece stay over the other week, and has requested it for her birthday!
Sharayah Quailey (verified owner) –
Smells amazing and really helps my babes relax for bed
Kelly Elliott (verified owner) –
I have been extremely sleep deprived for 8 years. None of my children slept for more than a three hour stretch until they were two despite routines and visits to sleep hospitals. I bought this balm as an exhausted mess, fully expecting it to fail but desperate for it to work. I have had 3 out of 4 nights of sleep since it arrived. Honestly I can’t believe a jar of cream has done this. I am still waiting to learn it was all a dream. You have helped me a great deal. Thank you!
Bronwyn Golding (verified owner) –
Love the sleepy head balm. My daughter isn’t the best at going to sleep when she gets put to bed but since using this she has been falling asleep withing 10 minutes of being put down and gets a really good nights sleep. I would definitely recommend this to everyone having issues with sleeping and it smells amazing too
Georgina Terry (verified owner) –
I love the smell, and my baby girl loves it too. It definately relaxes her before nap and bed time. I use it on myself too, but not much is needed as it’s quite strong.
Melissa Tichenor (verified owner) –
Works good so far. Definitely helps him to sleep longer. Smells amazing as well!
Jessica Gould (verified owner) –
Smells beauitful but sadly to say it didn’t work for my little one
