Verdant Alchemy | Luxury Magnesium Bath Salts & Aromatherapy
founders note
"This is the bath I run when I know I need a good night’s sleep. I created it with the kings and queens of sleep oils—lavender, mandarin, and vetiver—because sometimes you just need a lullaby in oil form. That woody base, blended with herbaceous lavender and a hint of citrus, is what makes this one of our most-loved—and award-winning—bath oils. Honestly, it’s so popular we can barely keep it in stock."

"Although I'm not a regular bath person, I love using this oil after an evening shower — it's been a calming ritual that's helped with my anxiety-induced insomnia and stress-related eczema since 2020. I'm already on my second bottle." - Sam
Fragrance Notes
Why This Works
Vetiver is one of the most sedative essential oils in aromatherapy — its deep, rooty scent has been shown to calm the nervous system and slow brainwave activity toward sleep. Lavender lowers cortisol, mandarin eases the transition from day to evening without heaviness, and patchouli and cedarwood ground the whole blend into something that stays with you. In the bath, the apricot kernel oil emulsifies into a milky lather, feeding the skin while the steam works on the mind. The heaviest blend in the range — built for nights when switching off feels impossible.

Vetiver Oil
If lavender is the go-to for relaxation, vetiver is its deeper, more grounding counterpart. Steam-distilled from the roots of the vetiver plant, this essential oil has a rich, earthy aroma—think damp soil after rain or the warm weight of a wool blanket.
Vetiver is traditionally used to calm the nervous system, and early research suggests it may have natural sedative effects—helping to ease anxiety, quiet a racing mind, and support deeper, more restorative sleep. It’s especially helpful when your body feels tense or your thoughts won’t slow down.
In aromatherapy, vetiver acts as a base note—anchoring and steadying. When blended with lavender or cedarwood, it creates a deeply soothing bedtime ritual that helps you unwind and let go, one breath at a time.
