Scentered Aromatherapy Mini Balms: Review

One thing I often turn to when times aren’t so good to try and comfort me is certain scents.

Now I’m not going to pretend that I know much about aromatherapy or creating blends to help in certain situations. However, I do know that having a calming scent around me can help soothe me, while one which is invigorating can help pump me up for the day.

Recently I was asked by Scentered Aromatherapy if I would like to try out one of their mini balm tins.

Scentered.

Scentered is a brand which is all about trying to help you feel how you want to feel.

They want to help you mindfully transition your mood across the day and help you work, play and feel your best.

One of the things Scentered are particularly focused on is offering blends which are portable. This gives you the chance to take your favourite blend with you be it in your bag, car or pocket, and re-centre yourself as and when needed, wherever you are. These are mess free as they come in balm form, rather than a liquid.

Scentered has of course grown since its original launch and now offers a huge range of 100% natural products including aromatherapy balms, candles, hair care and body care.

Today, however, it is all about the Wellbeing Ritual Aromatherapy Mini Tin.

Wellbeing Ritual Aromatherapy Mini Tin.

The Wellbeing Ritual Aromatherapy Mini Tin contains 5 of Scentered’s original balms.

While I will go into each one with a bit more detail, it is worth knowing that each of the balms in this tin are 1.5mg in size and each one contains up to 25 essential oils.

What’s more, they have been created using a mix of moringa and shea butter. Which means they offer a non-greasy finish, which can be used at any time. They can be applied to points on the wrists, neck and temples.

You can use the balms both alone or together in whichever combination works for you.

So what fragrances are included?

De-Stress.

This is a balm I have been turning a lot to over the past few weeks as my stress levels have been through the roof.

It offers a blend which includes chamomile for calmness, neroli to uplift and relax, while mandarin is used to support feelings of well-being and relieve tension.

As you might have guessed this is a blend to soothe and relax the mind. To help you refocus away from that stress and help you feel more in control of the day in front of you.

Focus.

Focus is something I need as I write this post. When I’m stressed or anxious I find it very hard to focus, which is why you might notice I’m not posting too much at the moment.

This blend includes rosemary, which has been used for a long time to help with boosting memory and alertness; mint to stimulate mental activity and increase focus on cognitive tasks; while clary sage helps to relieve mental fatigue and promote mental clarity.

This is said to be better than coffee. As someone who doesn’t like coffee, I cannot attest if that is true or not.

However, it is helping me power through writing this post, both helping me focus on the task in hand and work out what I want to say.

So for me at the moment I am finding mixing this with De-Stress is helping me through the day.

Be Happy.

Sometimes we all need a little bit of sunshine in our pocket and Be Happy offers that.

Including grapefruit to uplift your spirit, lemon myrtle to energise and refresh and rounded off with spearmint to bring positivity and uplift.

Be Happy is for when you just want that added spring in your step, those moments when you want to smile a bit more or share some gratitude.

After all, it is just one of those scents that will just bring a smile to your face.

Escape.

Sometimes you just need to escape for some time, to be able to take a step away from what you are thinking and depart from the hassles of your life.

This deep scent includes oud to improve the clarity of mind, sandalwood to strengthen and frankincense to ground and balance.

Escape is all about when you need to change from one mindset to another. For when you need to change from the need to do to the want to do.

Sleep Well.

Sometimes we all need a little helping hand in drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

This blend offers a floral lavender scent which is blended with chamomile, palmarosa and ho wood. This is then balanced with Bois de Rose and geranium. Lastly, patchouli, clove and ylang-ylang offer a modern oriental twist to this balm.

Switching off at night and relaxing both the mind and body can be hard. However, this balm helps bring together a relaxing fragrance which can ease out the hardships of the day and help you drift off.

This Wellbeing Ritual Aromatherapy Mini Tin comes in at £26 and be bought from the Scentered online store.

Overall Thoughts.

As someone who is affected by scent, this is a great little set for me.

Just after it arrived myself and my Mum had a try and decided on our favourites. However, since then I have noticed that depending on mood and what I am in need of my favourite will change.

I love the fact you can mix and match them, as I said earlier in the post I have to go through this by using de-stress and focus. While at other times I have mixed together de-stress and be happy.

This is definitely a set I will be picking up myself again in future as I am someone who can use scents to some effect when it comes to my mood.

What do you think of this set by Scentered, does it sound like something you could utilise? 

I received the products in the post free of charge for review, this, however, doesn’t affect my opinions which are as always honest.
