The instant sleep cream
Stop the bedtime restlessness and the random second wind. Fix your tired kid, and the tired you. Our cream delivers instant sleep improvements from the very first night.
My 6 year old was possessed at bedtime, didnt matter how much he ran around all day, he was never tired. I refused to put him on melatonin, so I tried this and wow, my expectations were completely blown away. His sleep has improved so much he is actually asking for the cream. Thats how good this product is.
My kid was possessed at bedtime. Big day at school, never tired, hysterical at the thought of bed. I thought nothing would work on her. This cream is like an off button. Two weeks in, she looks forward to sleeping.
I thought we had no more options. Earlier bedtime, no phones, books, cuddles, lavender spray, you name it. Started the rub on his feet after books and he’s asleep within 10 minutes. I’m finally feeling human again.
Writing this at 9pm from the couch, which is the whole point of the review. For about two years my evening started when my son finally went to sleep, somewhere between 9.30 and 11. We did everything you are supposed to do. He’s been asleep by 8 for nine nights straight.
He would take between an hour and two hours to go down. The first two nights I thought it had done nothing. But somewhere around night four he went down in about fifteen minutes and he has been going down in about fifteen minutes since. I don’t fully know why it works and I don’t really care anymore.
The thing nobody tells you about a kid who doesn’t sleep is what it does to you. I was crying in the car at pickup. I was snapping at everyone. We are three weeks in and he’s going down without a fight and staying down. That’s what I’m reviewing really, not the cream.
You’ve already bought the sprays, the night lights and the gummies, and they all failed. That’s why we formulated this cream to give your kid the sleepy feeling you’ve both been looking for.

How often?
Yes. Despite how restless or wound up your kid gets before bed, they all have the same response. Our key ingredient magnesium is scientifically proven to lower cortisol and naturally increase melatonin production, giving every kid the best night’s sleep.
A ton of research and studies support evidence of a calming rub right before bed being extremely beneficial for kids’ circadian rhythm (body clock), and has a calming effect on their nervous system that magnesium spray or a gummy cannot replicate.
Super simple. Every night before bed, rub a coin-sized amount into either their legs or feet. The sleepy effect from the lavender and magnesium should kick in after about 10 minutes, giving you just enough time for a bedtime story.
At almost $1 per night, it is far less than the coffee you’ll need to buy again tomorrow after another late and disrupted night’s sleep. And you can’t put a price tag on your kid smiling and energized after a great night’s sleep. For us, the value of sleep is priceless.
The opposite, and that’s the point. The routine and cream only get stronger with every night. The repetition helps develop cues and signals that relax their body and put their mind into “sleep mode.”
Sceptical husband review. My wife bought this and I made a comment about expensive moisturiser, which I have since been reminded of many times. Our 4 year old is asleep in ten to fifteen minutes now instead of the 45 minute negotiation we were having. I dont have an explanation for it and I've stopped asking for one. It works, it smells nice, she asks for it, we're keeping it.
reported their kids falling asleep faster and easier
reported no more disruptions through the night
felt no more growing pain troubles through the night
experienced an increase in their own sleep too

Before you ask
A coin-sized amount on legs, feet or chest. It goes on skin: nothing is swallowed, nothing is dosed, and nothing in the jar looks or tastes like candy. The whole label is five ingredients you can pronounce.
Melatonin borrows sleep from a hormone system that's still developing, and the gummy has to end one day. A wind-down teaches a kid's body to bring itself down, and it gets stronger with repetition, not weaker.
Yes, it does absorb. Warmth, pressure and a repeated scent cue are the settle signals paediatric sleep research keeps landing on. Magnesium is the 200-year-old tradition the ritual carries, from the epsom bath to grandma's rub.
60 nights, money back, nothing to post back. If bedtimes aren't better, you keep the tub and the refund.
Only the cream. The blanket is yours from the first box; nothing else is ever rebilled. Skip, pause or cancel in two taps.
Two and up. It is formulated for a child’s skin rather than scaled down from an adult spray, which is why it doesn’t sting the way adult magnesium oil does. Parents use it on toddlers who fight bedtime and on twelve-year-olds with aching legs after sport.
Some parents notice the first night, because the warmth and the pressure are working straight away. The routine is the part that compounds. The bedtime-routine research is dose-dependent, so three nights a week beats one and every night beats three. Give it two weeks before you judge it. You have 60 to change your mind.
Five ingredients, and no nut oils. We turned down a cheaper formula that used sweet almond oil for exactly this reason. Magnesium chloride, lavender, chamomile, vitamin E. Patch-test the inside of an arm on the first night if you want to be certain.
Yes, and it’s yours to keep. It ships in your first box on any subscription, it is never rebilled, and if you cancel you keep it.
A flat $5, and free on any order over $54 - which a 2-jar subscription clears on its own, and a single jar clears the moment you add anything to it. Most orders land in 5 to 14 days.
