Badger Balm Sleep Balm Tin Review

I'm a high school teacher in a building that has its fair share of crazy, out-of-control days.  Sometimes I get home and need to take a nap.  Other days I just go to bed almost immediately after dinner to rest.  My mind (and pulse) are often racing as I contemplate the day's events and what tomorrow will bring.  There are many nights when I have difficulty falling asleep.  My fiance watched me try warm milk, vitamins/herbs, and even pillow spray.   One Christmas he stuffed my stocking with all sorts of "relaxation" products, including Badger Sleep Balm.

This balm is a blend of extra virgin olive oil, castor oil, beeswax, and bergamot, ginger, rosemary, lavender, and balsam fir essential oils.  It has a very strong "herbal" fragrance.  The company suggests applying it to temples, face, neck, and/or lips at bedtime.  It is easy enough to transfer the Badger Sleep Balm from the 2 ounce tin to your skin.  It spreads on readily but doesn't really absorb into skin.  It pretty much just sits there in a bit of a greasy layer.

I could have handled the greasiness if Badger Sleep Balm was an effective product.  I truly hoped that it would help me to fall asleep but, unfortunately, it really didn't do anything other than clear out my sinuses.  I've used it dozens of times in an attempt to relax and go to sleep, but this "calming sleep enhancer" is a disappointment.  Not recommended!
