10 Nighttime Products You’ll Want for Yourself

When it’s bedtime, nothing beats a warm, soothing bath, a silly story and quality cuddles. But when you’re on the tenth round of Goodnight Moon and little eyelids are nowhere near closed, it’s okay to call for reinforcements. We’ve rounded up our favorite natural, safe products to help create a peaceful routine for your sweet sleepers. Now, all that’s left to find is a direct line to the Sandman himself.

Bubble Bath
Honest Company is known for safe and natural kids’ products and we’re big fans of their Tangerine Dream Bubble Bath, which features a blend of chamomile, calendula, aloe and coconut oil that’s gentle and soothing to skin. It’s free of sulfates, parabens, fragrances, dyes and most common allergens, and it creates loads of long-lasting bubbles to keep kids happy.

Available at Honest.com, $11.95.

Bath Bomb
This organic bath bomb from earth-friendly Etsy shop Herbolution is great for fizzy fun in the tub with the added bonus of relaxation. The lavender-infused bath bomb comes in eco-friendly packaging and is made with pure, natural ingredients, including aluminum-free baking soda. They’re great for luring kids to bathtime on occasion since the sparkling, bubbly reaction is fun to watch, and the results are soothing to the senses and gentle on skin.

Available at Herbolution on Etsy, $5.50.

Calming Lotion
Once bathtime is over, slather those little limbs in Earth Mama Angel Baby’s Heavenly Calming Lavender Baby Lotion. It’s safe, gentle and includes a sweet-smelling combination of lavender and vanilla. The addition of organic calendula and rooibos make it great for soothing eczema, skin allergies, diaper and skin rash. According to the company, it’s gentle enough for babies of all ages and can be used from “top to bottom, cheeks to cheeks.”

Available at Earthmamangelbaby.com, $17.99.

Body Balm
Badger Balm’s Night-Night Balm is perfect for a bedtime massage. The balm is a blend of ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, beeswax, aloe and essential oils that can help kids unwind after a busy day. Rub a little on your kiddo’s temples, neck, belly and wrists to diffuse the aroma. The formula is designed with children in mind but works great for moms and dads too.

Available at Badgerbalm.com, $9.99.

Nighttime Tea
Nighty Night tea from Traditional Medicinals’ Just for Kids collection is made with mild herbs in kid-friendly amounts to help those little busy bodies relax. The chamomile and linden tree blossoms have a calming effect, and kids will enjoy the mildly sweet, fruity flavor of the chamomile and hibiscus — not to mention the tea’s pretty shade of pink.

Available at Traditionalmedicinals.com, $4.99.

Toothpaste Taste
We turn to Tom’s of Maine for our own personal care shopping, so it’s nice to see they have products for the tykes too. You won’t find artificial sparkles or that cloyingly sweet bubble gum taste here. Tom’s Silly Strawberry Toothpaste is flavored with real fruit. The paste is dye-free and uses calcium and silica to gently clean teeth.

Available at Tomsofmainestore.com, $3.99.

Brush Up
Brushing teeth doesn’t have to become a bedtime battleground. The RADIUS Kidz toothbrush is great for children ages 6 and up. It features a thumb grip, angled neck and oval head for thorough and accurate cleaning. Kids will be happy about the comfy feel and bright colors, and parents will appreciate that the brushes are BPA-free and American Dental Association accepted.

Available at Radiustoothbrush.com, $9.96 for 3.

Clean Mouth
If you’re looking for a kid-friendly mouthwash, The Natural Dentist’s Cavity Zapper Mouth Rinse doesn’t use any alcohol or artificial colors and sweeteners. It’s American Dental Association approved, and kids will be won over by the Berry Blast flavor. It’s a great way to start instilling good dental hygiene habits at an early age.

Available at Amazon.com, $10.63.

Sleep Syrup
For those nights when your child just can’t sleep, GaiaKids Sleep and Relax Herbal Syrup may provide a calming cure. The blend features natural ingredients like chamomile, lemon balm and passionflower and contains no artificial sweeteners or flavors. Taken before bed, it helps some children fall asleep but still awaken refreshed in the morning.

Available at Gaiaherbs.com, $19.99

Essential Oils
A nightlight can ease a lot of bedtime nerves, so we love that this one does double-duty as a diffuser. The aroma humidifier by Innogear will keep your little one’s bedroom from getting dry and stuffy and fill the air with the essential oil of your choice. Lavender, Roman chamomile and cedarwood are recommended for encouraging sleep. Children will love the light color options, and the diffuser shuts off automatically when the water runs out.

Available at Amazon.com, $25.99.
