Mineral-rich sleep balm with magnesium & aromatics for those who toss and turn or wake up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep  / 1 oz 

de Mamiel Anchor magnesium balm is one of those tools that may seem unassuming at first but soon reveals itself to be a genuine little gem.

The quality of our sleep affects every aspect of our lives, including the condition of our skin. In her clinic, Annee de Mamiel saw this firsthand and developed her Sleep Series to address the foundational need for good sleep. Far more than a set of typical “sleepytime” lavender essential-oil blends, each formula is designed to work with the body, addressing the root cause of sleep disturbances.

Anchor is for those who wake up in the middle of the night and are unable to go back to sleep, those who toss and turn, or those who wake up too early and feel unrested. This deeply grounding balm, recently upgraded for even greater efficacy, features a number of proven remedies chosen for the hours when the world goes quiet, but the body does not.

First, deeply restorative magnesium chloride works alongside a nourishing infusion of nettle and oat straw to ease physical tension and support nervous system recovery, while pumpkin seed, oat kernel, and rice bran oils replenish essential lipids and strengthen the skin barrier throughout the night.

And grounding aromatics, including vetiver, sandalwood, frankincense, and myrrh, work through the limbic system to slow the breath, settle nervous system activity, and create a profound sense of stability and safety. 

As sleep deepens, the body can move more easily through the restorative stages of sleep associated with cellular repair, skin regeneration, and glymphatic activity—the brain's remarkable overnight cleansing process.

Annee says, "You know that moment when you wake in the night and your body is still, but your mind is not? It's often around 3am. You're tired, but alert; your thoughts begin to move, your breath becomes shallow, and sleep feels just out of reach. This is why I created Anchor. To settle the nervous system, soften the body, and guide you back into a deeper, more restorative state so you can let go and drift back into rest."

 Anchor is the only Sleep Series blend in a pot because it's a strong solid oil (please don't use it on children!). We adore it. It smells absolutely beautiful—soothing and cocooning—and makes a wonderful gift. Ideal for travel or times of stress.
