How Transdermal Calm Patches Work
Unlike capsules that spike and fade, our patches absorb plant-based calming ingredients steadily through the skin — delivering a consistent, gentle effect that lasts your whole wear period.
02
Bypass the digestive system
Ingredients enter the bloodstream directly through the skin — no stomach processing, no absorption loss, no waiting for a capsule to dissolve. Onset in 30–60 minutes.
03
Sustained 8–12 hour release
The transdermal matrix releases ingredients at a steady, controlled rate — no spike, no crash. One patch covers a full workday or an evening wind-down.
04
Wear it, forget it
Water-resistant. Wearable under clothing. No residue, no re-dosing. Best results build with consistent daily wear — the formula is designed for a 28-day routine.

What's Inside Every Patch
Seven plant-derived, transparently dosed actives — each chosen for a distinct functional role in the calm formula.
Adaptogen · Star Ingredient
Ashwagandha8.5mg / patch
An ancient Ayurvedic adaptogen clinically studied for cortisol regulation. Clinical trials show it reduces serum cortisol by up to 30% with consistent use, producing a calm, balanced state without sedation.
Neurotransmitter Support · Calm Signal
GABA4mg / patch
Gamma-aminobutyric acid is the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter — it tells overactive neural signals to quiet down. GABA supports a calmer mental state without fogginess.
Traditional Herb · Mood & Clarity
Gotu Kola4.5mg / patch
A revered herb in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, Gotu Kola supports cognitive clarity, mood balance, and a composed state of mind — calm that feels alert, not sluggish.
Mineral · Body Relaxation
Magnesium BHB4mg / patch
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions including muscle relaxation. The BHB salt form enhances transdermal absorption, making it particularly effective in patch delivery.
Amino Acid · Focus & Calm
L-Theanine2mg / patch
Naturally occurring in green tea, L-Theanine promotes a state of relaxed alertness — calm without drowsiness. Works synergistically with GABA in this formula.
Botanical Extract · Wind-Down
Hop Flower Power1mg / patch
Hops have a long history of use as a calming botanical, traditionally used alongside valerian for unwind and sleep support. Contributes a settling effect for evening and end-of-day use.
Essential Oil · Sensory Calm
Eucalyptus Oil1mg / patch
Provides a clean, fresh sensory note upon application with mild aromatherapeutic calming properties. Acts as a delivery enhancer in the transdermal matrix, helping other actives penetrate the skin barrier.
Cortisol — The Hormone That Keeps You Wound Up
What is cortisol?
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to pressure and low blood sugar. In the short term it's essential — it sharpens focus and mobilises energy. The problem is chronic elevation: it disrupts sleep, amplifies anxious feelings, impairs memory, raises blood pressure, and contributes to hormonal imbalance.
The cortisol daily curve
In a healthy rhythm, cortisol peaks within 30–45 minutes of waking, then gradually declines throughout the day. Modern life disrupts this curve — sustained pressure, poor sleep, caffeine, and blue light all keep cortisol elevated when it should be declining, making it impossible to truly wind down.
How Ashwagandha reduces cortisol
Ashwagandha modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis — the system that regulates cortisol. Clinical studies show consistent Ashwagandha supplementation reduces serum cortisol by up to 30%. In transdermal form, it delivers steadily over 8–12 hours rather than spiking and fading like oral supplementation.

Why Women in Perimenopause & MenopauseLove This Patch
The estrogen-cortisol connection
Estrogen helps regulate the HPA axis — the hormonal system that controls cortisol. As estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, the HPA axis becomes less regulated, allowing cortisol to spike higher and stay elevated longer. Ashwagandha supports HPA axis regulation directly, helping restore a more balanced cortisol response.
Sleep disruption during menopause
Up to 60% of women in perimenopause and menopause experience significant sleep disruption. Elevated evening cortisol is a primary driver. The Relax & Let Go formula addresses this with Ashwagandha (cortisol regulation), Magnesium BHB (muscle relaxation), GABA (neural calm), and L-Theanine — four ingredients targeting the cortisol-to-sleep pathway simultaneously.
Hot flashes and cortisol spikes
Hot flashes trigger a cortisol spike with each episode — the body interprets the sudden temperature change as a physical tension event. Cortisol regulation via Ashwagandha can reduce the amplitude of the tension response to each episode, helping break the cycle of tension, poor sleep, and mood disruption.
A drug-free, wearable daily option
Many women in menopause are looking for non-hormonal, plant-based options they can incorporate easily into daily life. The Relax & Let Go patch is drug-free, contains no synthetic hormones, and delivers 8–12 hours of botanical support from a single daily application. The clear, discreet patch can be worn through any setting.

Who the Relax & Let Go Patch Is For
Anyone whose calm could use support. The slow-release transdermal formula makes it versatile across the most common tension scenarios.
Daily tension & pressure
Ashwagandha steadily regulates cortisol throughout the day, supporting calm during work, commutes, or high-demand hours without sedation.
Travel & jet lag
The compact travel pack is built for trips — consistent cortisol support during disrupted schedules, time zone changes, and transit days.
Evening wind-down
Hop Flower and Magnesium BHB support a natural unwind. Wear from early evening to help the body transition from the day's demands into restorative rest.
Perimenopause & menopause
Hormonal transition amplifies cortisol sensitivity. Ashwagandha directly addresses the HPA axis dysregulation that drives menopausal tension and sleep issues.
Focus-without-edge moments
L-Theanine and Gotu Kola support relaxed alertness — useful when you need to stay sharp without feeling wound up. Presentations, creative work, or deep focus.
Daily calm ritual
Apply, go. One patch, one gesture. A consistent daily ritual that anchors a calmer baseline over 28 days — the time Ashwagandha needs to build its full effect.
How to Apply
- 1Choose a clean, dry skin site
Inner wrist, inner forearm, upper arm, or stomach. Thin skin and good blood flow. Do not apply lotion, moisturizer, or oils beforehand — residue prevents the adhesive from bonding and reduces ingredient absorption.
- 2Peel the backing
Remove the protective film to expose the clear adhesive contact layer. Do not cut or trim — the formula is calibrated for the full patch surface area.
- 3Press firmly for 10 seconds
Apply to your chosen skin site and smooth all edges. The clear patch blends with your skin tone — virtually invisible under clothing or in professional settings.
- 4Wear 8–12 hours, then remove
The patch works through the day or evening. Peel off slowly after your wear window. Rotate placement sites daily to prevent adhesive irritation with consistent use.
💡 Best results come from consistent daily wear for 28 days. Ashwagandha's cortisol-regulating effects are cumulative — most users notice meaningful change around day 14.
