Description

Gentle Calm is a small-batch herbal glycerite crafted with children in mind. This alcohol-free liquid extract is made using organic flax-derived glycerin and thoughtfully selected calming herbs traditionally used to support moments of restlessness, emotional intensity, and winding down.

This formula is intentionally simple and gentle, designed for families who prefer mild, accessible herbal preparations. Each batch is slowly extracted to preserve the character of the plants while maintaining a naturally sweet, kid-friendly taste. Gentle Calm reflects a careful balance between traditional herbalism and modern safety considerations.


Why This Matters

Children experience the world deeply, and their emotional landscapes can shift quickly. Gentle Calm was created with respect for that sensitivity. The herbs chosen have a long history of use in gentle, child-focused preparations and were selected for their mild nature and compatibility with young bodies.

This glycerite avoids alcohol and unnecessary complexity, focusing instead on simplicity, restraint, and trust in time-tested plants. It is not meant to quiet children or suppress expression, but rather to be a supportive option during moments when gentleness is needed most.

Made by hand in the U.S. in small batches with 100% organic ingredients. Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free, Alcohol-Free. No Artificial Colors, Flavors, Fragrances, or Preservatives.

Why these ingredients?

Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm) Leaf

Lemon balm is traditionally classified as a gentle nervine with an affinity for the nervous system and emotional state. In historical European herbalism, it was often used in preparations intended to support calm routines and emotional balance, particularly in sensitive individuals. Energetically, lemon balm is commonly described as mildly cooling and uplifting, helping to soften excess tension without dulling awareness. It has also been traditionally associated with easing digestive unease that accompanies emotional stress, which is why it frequently appears in formulas for children. In Gentle Calm, lemon balm acts as a primary harmonizer, setting the tone of the blend and contributing to its approachable, gentle character.

Nepeta cataria (Catnip) Aerial Parts

Catnip has a long history of use as a mild nervine and relaxant herb in Western herbal traditions. It is traditionally described as warming and gently dispersing, often included in formulas intended to help release restlessness and tension. Catnip has also been historically associated with supporting digestive comfort, particularly when emotional intensity is present. Its action is considered soft and compatible with young constitutions, which is why it has been widely used in children’s preparations. Within this glycerite, catnip supports the formula’s calming intention while maintaining lightness and balance.

Scutellaria lateriflora (Skullcap) Aerial Parts

American skullcap is traditionally regarded as a stronger nervine with a particular affinity for states of mental overstimulation and nervous exhaustion. In traditional North American herbalism, it was often used in small, supportive amounts rather than as a dominant herb. Energetically, skullcap is described as cooling and grounding, helping to settle excess mental activity. It is frequently paired with gentler nervines to create balanced formulas rather than sharp effects. In Gentle Calm, skullcap is included thoughtfully to provide depth and steadiness without overwhelming the blend.

Matricaria chamomilla (Chamomile) Flower

Chamomile has been traditionally used as a gentle nervine, digestive support herb, and overall relaxant across many herbal traditions. It is often associated with calming both physical and emotional discomfort, particularly in children. Energetically, chamomile is typically described as warming and soothing, helping to relax tension while maintaining comfort. Its mild bitterness and aromatic qualities have historically made it a bridge between nervous system and digestive support. In this formula, chamomile contributes softness, familiarity, and cohesion.

Vegetable Glycerin (Flax-Derived)

Vegetable glycerin is commonly used in traditional alcohol-free extractions and is valued for its gentle nature and compatibility with children. While not an herb, it plays an important functional role by extracting water-soluble constituents such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, and some glycosides. Glycerin is also traditionally viewed as moistening and smoothing, contributing to the overall gentleness of a formula. Its natural sweetness improves palatability, which is especially important in child-focused preparations. In Gentle Calm, glycerin supports both extraction and accessibility.

These descriptions reflect traditional herbal use and formulation principles rather than intended medical outcomes.
