For so many of us, sleep can feel like a distant dream..... and quite frustrating. Full days, busy minds, and tired bodies mean that even when you finally get to bed, winding down isn’t always easy. That’s exactly why I created Dream Cream—a gentle, research-backed blend designed to help you (and your family) relax, unwind, and truly rest.

But what makes Dream Cream so effective? Let’s dive into the science behind its hero ingredients: magnesium chloride, sandalwood, and bergamot.

What the research says:

Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including those that regulate the nervous system and support healthy sleep cycles. Studies show that magnesium can help calm the nervous system, relax muscles, and reduce symptoms of insomnia and restless legs—common issues for busy mums (Abbasi et al., 2012; Wienecke et al., 2016).

Why magnesium chloride?

Not all magnesium is created equal. Magnesium chloride, especially when sourced from the ancient Zechstein Sea, is known for its purity and high absorbability through the skin (transdermal absorption). Research suggests that topical magnesium may help increase magnesium levels in the body, offering a gentle, effective way to support sleep and relaxation (Wang et al., 2022).

What the research says:

Sandalwood has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its calming and sedative effects. Modern studies confirm that inhaling sandalwood essential oil can reduce anxiety, lower heart rate, and promote a sense of tranquility—making it a natural ally for bedtime (Hongratanaworakit, 2004; Komiya et al., 2006).

In Dream Cream:

Sandalwood’s warm, grounding aroma helps quiet a racing mind, making it easier to transition from the chaos of the day to a peaceful night.

What the research says:

Bergamot oil is well-known in aromatherapy for its ability to reduce stress and improve mood. Clinical trials have shown that bergamot can lower cortisol levels (the “stress hormone”) and support relaxation without causing drowsiness (Watanabe et al., 2015; Han et al., 2017).

In Dream Cream:

Bergamot’s gentle, citrusy scent works alongside sandalwood to create a calming, uplifting environment—perfect for winding down at the end of the day.

Individually, these ingredients are powerful. But when combined, they create a unique synergy:

• Magnesium chloride relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system at a cellular level.
• Sandalwood grounds and soothes the mind.
• Bergamot uplifts the mood and eases away the day’s stress.

Together, they help you let go of tension, quiet your mind, and set the stage for deep, restorative sleep.

• Before bed: Massage Dream Cream into your legs, feet, shoulders, or anywhere you feel tension.
• Breathe deeply: Take a few slow breaths to enjoy the calming aroma as the cream absorbs.
• Repeat nightly: Make it a simple, enjoyable part of your wind-down routine for ongoing benefits.
