I’ve been using sleep sprays for years: these are the best oils for helping you switch off at night If you struggle to switch off at night
When my daughter was ill she struggled to sleep. There was very little I could do, so I started buying her sleep sprays. No matter which sleep spray I bought it didn’t seem to help her. She would tell me it either didn’t smell very nice, wasn’t relaxing or stained her pillow. I finally decided I would start blending my own essential oil spray, one that smelt nice, was 100% pure essential oils and toxic free.
A few months later Unwind Sleep Spray was born. A soft floral fragrance that had all the properties for a restful sleep. With essential oil notes of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Rose Geranium (pelargonium graveolens), Patchouli (pogostemon cablin), Sweet Orange (Citrus × sinensis), Cedarwood (Cedrus) and Bergamot (citrus bergamia) it was the perfect blend to help her sleep.
The first time she tried it, she told me the aroma immediately made her feel calm and relax and after spraying it on her pillow and around her bedroom she started feeling relaxed and ready to sleep. She still uses the Unwind Sleep Spray and notices the quality of her sleep is just not the same without it.
If you've been tossing and turning at night, feeling restless and unable to sleep, or you want to create a relaxing sleep environment a good quality sleep spray could be the solution you're looking for.
What Makes a Good Sleep Spray
Not all sleep sprays are equal in quality and effectiveness. Sleep sprays that will help you sleep should be made from pure essential oils.
If the ingredients are not listed on the product or its pure plant name are not shown it is most likely a synthetic fragrances or a mix of essential oils and synthetic fragrance.
Here is how to spot if a sleep spray contains pure essential oils:
- Look for pure plant/Latin botanical name like Lavandula angustifolia (lavender oil);
- Avoid sprays that list "fragrance," "parfum," or "water" as the first ingredient without an emulsifier like polysorbate 20;
- Pure oils degrade in sunlight. Check if the spray bottle is dark amber, cobalt blue, or opaque metal.
DUX Collection's Essential Oil Sprays are 100% pure essential oils. Our Sleep Sprays are formulated to improve your sleep quality and rest.
Choosing your Essential Oil Blend
It is important you choose an essential oil blend that you enjoy. If you like lavender and sweet orange choose a spray that contains those essential oils. If you don't like the smell, it will be distracting and might be less effective.
Studies show that lavender essential oil improves your sleep quality by 75% compared to blends that don’t contain lavender essential oil.
