Sleep is a vital source of energy and balance but is often disrupted throughout the menstrual cycle and indeed across times of stress.
Our Silent Night Pillow Spray is formulated by Script Maker, Alison Harris. An experienced artisan, Alison prides herself on creating handcrafted products from the most luxurious, complementary combinations of scents and British sourced ingredients. Working closely with the Script team and drawing on her wealth of experience in scent exploration, Alison designed the Silent Night Pillow Spray to support women during their periods, naturally.
The spray’s carefully selected ingredients are known to assist in both falling asleep and ensuring a full, undisturbed night’s rest. Our formulation process also considered the plants’ abilities to support emotional regulation, stress relief and inflammation management – factors which we all know can severely affect sleep, especially while menstruating.
Spritz over your pillow and allow our Silent Night Pillow Spray to carry you gently into comfort and relaxation.

A small tree that grows white flowers and small green citrus fruits, bergamot is known to have antiseptic and antibacterial properties. The bergamot oil in our pillow spray is extracted from the rind of the fruits through cold expression followed by distillation. Bergamot’s renowned physiological benefits include healing of the skin, improving digestive comfort and clearing the airways. Furthermore, bergamot is rich in antioxidants which help to neutralise environmental damage on the cells in our bodies. Bergamot is also known to regulate mood, and is specifically revered for helping to calm feelings of stress and anxiety which can often disrupt sleep.
Lavender is famous for it’s calmative and sedative properties, hence the use of this ingredient in many products which aim to promote rest or sleep (including ours!). However, there are many more reported benefits of lavender that are less frequently discussed such as reducing inflammation, easing migraines and relaxing abdominal pain. A wonderful natural solution to insomnia, the calming properties of lavender have also been shown to reduce feelings of anxiety, and to calm physical manifestations of stress like eczema. We use a steaming and gentle CO2 distillation process to obtain our lavender oil, ensuring the preservation of the plant’s beneficial compounds.
The geranium oil in our pillow spray is obtained through steam distillation from the leaves and stalks of the flower. Geranium is recognised as specifically supportive of the female reproductive system by regulating the menstrual cycle and helping the process of menopause. Psychologically, it is known to ease depression, fatigue and stress and also has both analgesic and antibacterial properties. Additionally, geranium is reported to balance the skin’s production of sebum and therefore helps with acne (which many women are more prone to during menstruation).
Similarly, the lemon leaf oil in our Silent Night Pillow Spray is known to improve issues such as acne, greasy hair and excess perspiration, symptoms often associated with hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle. Lemon leaf has anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties as well as a reputation for easing fatigue to relax the body and mind for peaceful night’s sleep.
Again, we acquire the essential oil of the lemon leaf through gentle steam distillation so the ingredient remains of the highest quality for the user. Uniquely, lemon leaf is also known to re-establish nerve equilibrium which can help to balance mood swings.
