{"product_id":"sleep_oil","title":"SLEEP Aromatherapy Roll-On","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 10 ml aromatherapy roll-on of essential oils blended for the Sleep theme: vetiver, chamomile, lavender and lemon. Vetiver is a deep, smoky, earthy root oil; lavender and chamomile sit on top of it and lemon lifts the blend so it does not become heavy. It is the warmest and earthiest scent of our three roll-ons, and the one people reach for in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three blends were designed by Claudia, the founder's 14 year old daughter, and created by Mel Foot, an aromatherapist and friend of the shop. They are made in the UK and not tested on animals, and they are a Herbastore own-label line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA roll-on is essential oil diluted in a carrier oil and sealed under a rollerball. You roll it onto the skin at pulse points, the wrists, the sides of the neck and the temples, where the warmth of the skin releases the scent. The scent fades over an hour or two, and the brand's figure of over 100 uses from 10 ml reflects how little comes out with each roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVetiver is the unusual oil here. It is distilled from the roots of a tropical grass and smells of damp earth, smoke and wood, and it is used in perfumery as a base note because it lasts. Lavender and chamomile are the two classic evening florals, and lemon is added in a small proportion to brighten the top of the blend. The result is a scent that starts fresh and settles into something warm and grounded on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon oil can increase sun sensitivity on skin, so avoid rolling this blend on skin that will be in strong sun; in practice, as an evening roll-on, that is rarely an issue. The brand has not published the carrier oil or the dilution, so we do not state them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sleep blend is also sold in the Wellbeing Trio set with the Self Love and Focus roll-ons for £14.99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoll onto the wrists, the sides of the neck or the temples in the half hour before bed, or whenever you want to mark the end of the day. Some people roll it onto a wrist and breathe it in; others keep it on the bedside table with a book. A little goes a long way, which is where the brand's figure of over 100 uses comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 ml roll-on bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 100 uses per bottle, per the brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e£5.99 works out at under 6p a use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal use only; avoid strong sun on skin where lemon oil has been applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential oils are concentrated. Roll onto pulse points rather than broad areas, keep well away from the eyes, do not use on broken skin, and patch test on the inner forearm if you have reactive skin or have not used essential oils before. This is an aromatherapy product for the skin, not a food supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVetiver essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChamomile essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemon essential oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrier oil (not specified by the brand)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eVetiver oil is distilled from the roots of Chrysopogon zizanioides, a tall grass grown in India, Haiti and Indonesia. Chamomile oil comes from the flowers of Roman or German chamomile. Lavender is steam distilled from Lavandula angustifolia flower spikes. Lemon oil is cold pressed from the peel of Citrus limon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like to mark the end of the day with a scent, and anyone who already has an evening routine of herbal tea, a book or a bath and wants to add to it. It suits a bedside table, an overnight bag and a gift for someone who finds it hard to switch off from screens. The earthy vetiver base makes it the least sweet of the three blends, so it also suits people who dislike floral perfumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want something floral, the Self Love blend is built on rose and ylang-ylang.
