Breaze Products
Use your Breaze Oil as you would use other aromatherapy oils.
Summer Blend
Add a few drops to a diffuser to release gentle aromatherapeutic vapours into the air. Alternatively, add a few drops to a warm bath, on a hankie, or a soft toy for little ones!
Sleep Blend
Add a few drops to a warm bath or in a diffuser to fill the air with calming aromas proven to help you sleep better.
Summer Blend
Simply rub a little around the nostrils as often as you need. You can also use it around your eyes, but please take care not to get it in your eyes. It traps irritants before they get up your nose and the soothing aromas contribute to clearer, easier breathing. It's great for daytime use, especially when you're on the go, or doing outdoor sports.
Sleep Blend
Before bedtime, massage your Sleep Balm into your pulse points (wrists & temples) to feel the benefits of the calming aromas.
Put the pillowcase underneath your regular one. The motion activated microcapsules break as your head moves throughout the night, cleverly releasing the fragrance while you sleep. Just give your pillow a firm rub just before you go to bed to help it activate!
Breaze pillowcases use AromaCap™ technology to provide a continual release of aromatherapeutic vapours all through the night while you sleep. Both sides of Breaze pillowcases are infused with millions of microscopic liquid-filled capsules. Each capsule contains Breaze vapour oil; a blend of natural essential oils known for their aroma therapeutic properties. As your head comes into contact with your pillow and moves during sleep, the micro-capsules rupture releasing a continual burst of vapours to help you breathe easy and get a better night’s sleep.
Before settling down to sleep, give your pillow a firm rub to activate the vapour release. The pillowcase is treated on both sides, If you find your pillowcase is not releasing, turn your pillow over to activate the other side. Breaze Motion Activated Pillowcases are designed for a single use period of up to 14 nights. After this period, most of the motion sensitive capsules will have been depleted and you should replace with a fresh Breaze pillowcase.
We don’t recommend using a Breaze pillowcase in direct and prolonged contact with your skin. It’s designed to be used under your regular pillowcase to minimise any potential allergic reaction for those with very sensitive skin. Although incidental skin contact should not lead to any problems, as precaution please wash your hands after handling your Breaze pillowcase.
Breaze Motion Activated Pillowcases are designed for single use period of up to 14 nights. After two weeks, most of the motion sensitive capsules will have been depleted and you should replace with a fresh Breaze pillowcase. You may wash and re-use the pillowcase as a pillow protector but it will not release therapeutic vapours after washing.
Yes, but please take care if using in the delicate eye area.
Breaze Balms are safe to use on skin and are made from nourishing plant based ingredients that moisturises and help prevent dry, flaky skin.
However, it does contain essential oils which may cause irritation for very sensitive skin or skin that is already sore or broken.
Some customers do use our Allergy Barrier Balm around the eye area and often report that the essential oils seem to help to reduce watery eyes when used in this way. Please take care not get Breaze balm in your eyes. If you do, wash immediately with cool water.
If skin irritation occurs, wash away with a damp cotton wool pad or flannel.
No. Although it is certified as skin safe under IFRA guidelines, Breaze isn’t intended for direct application to the skin as it may cause irritation in people with skin sensitivity.
No, Breaze products are not licensed medicines. They are based on carefully formulated blends of natural essential oils known for their aromatherapeutic properties. In our latest customer survey, more than 85% of people said that Breaze helped them during Spring and Summer to breathe easier and sleep better.
If you have any underlying medical condition you should always consult your GP or pharmacist before using a new complementary therapy product. A list of the key ingredients in Breaze is available here, please show it to your health professional when seeking advice.
Although there are no studies which link the use of essential oils with asthma there has been research which suggests that some naturally occuring compounds present in certain essential oils are linked to breathlessness. Breaze contains eucalyptus and lavender essential oils and whilst the majority of people with asthma can use Breaze without problems, in a small number of cases these two ingredients may cause a worsening of asthma symptoms. If you know you are sensitive to either of these two ingredients you should not use Breaze products.
Breaze is safe for children with no underlying health conditions or sensitivity to our main ingredients from 3 months (Balm and Pillowcase) and 2 years (Vapour Oil) when used under adult supervision and according to the instructions.
People often ask if it is safe to use Breaze around younger children. Since children's lungs do not fully developed until the age of two, it is not advisable to use essential oils in a diffuser when younger children are present or at night when the under twos share a room with parents.
Breaze is a natural product but we haven’t tested it with expectant or nursing mums.
Please talk to your GP or midwife before using Breaze or any new complementary health product, while pregnant or breastfeeding.
As long as they are stored in a cool, dry place, Breaze products have a shelf life of 2 years once opened.
Breaze Motion Activated Pillowcases are designed for a single use period of up to 14 nights. After this period, most of the motion sensitive capsules will have been depleted and you should replace with a fresh Breaze pillowcase. There are lots of ways you can give new life to old pillowcases:
First give them a wash on a 30 deg cycle, then...
- Place over plants to protect them from frost
- Use them to collect garden waste
- Use them as packing pods to keep everything neat when going away
- Use them to separate dirty laundry
- Protect delicates in the wash - pop special undies in the pillowcase to protect from washing machine damage
- Use as bed linen organisers in the airing cupboard
Breaze has been developed for human use and you should not use it to treat your pets. Always keep Breaze out of reach of curious cats, dogs and other domestic pets as some of the ingredients may be harmful if swallowed or if your pet is exposed to them in large quantities.
When used according to the instructions your pets should not be adversely affected by any incidental inhalation but we would advise you not to use Breaze Vapour Oil in a diffuser or burner when pets are around. If you have any specific concerns about the ingredients please do consult your vet for further advice.
No, we only test our products and ingredients on willing human volunteers.
Breaze Vapour Oil and Essential Oil are plant based and suitable for vegans.
Our Balms are now also vegan following a reformulation in May 2023 to replace beeswax with coconut wax. We made this change in response to growing concerns about the practices used in commercial beeswax production.
The microcapsules used to create our Motion Activated Pillowcases contain gelatine. We know this is an important concern for many of our customers so we're working towards a 100% plant based formulation.
We are proud to be 99% plastic free. All packaging is easily recyclable and our paper packaging is made from recycled board, printed using vegetable inks.
We only test our products and ingredients on willing human volunteers.
Breaze pillowcases are made from 100% viscose, which is a natural compostable fibre that takes 45 days to fully biodegrade. You can put them in your home composter or use them in the garden as grow bags or to collect grass cuttings. They can't be recycled but it's safe and environmentally friendly to put them in your normal household waste.
Breaze Summer Blend
Hay Fever, pet, dust and mould spore allergies are all part of a group of conditions called allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis is a reaction to airborne particles like pollen, pet dander and mould spores and many people find Breaze helpful with the effects of all these allergens.
No, you should continue to use whichever medicines you have been advised to take by a health professional for your hay fever and allergies. Breaze Summer Blend was developed to use alongside conventional allergy medicines to provide extra support for clear, easier breathing.
As we use natural essential oils, they do contain traces of known allergens: linalool, D-limonene, citral, geraniol and eugenol. These are naturally occuring compounds present in some essential oils and are known to cause skin sensitivity for some people. If you are unsure about any of these allergens then we always recommend checking with your GP or practice nurse.

When developing our new Sleep Blend, we asked 117 people to tell us about their current sleep quality, and then to test our formulation and share their experience. Overall, 80% say it helped them to sleep better, 79% say it helped them to fall asleep easier, and more than half woke less frequently during the night. Additionally, a study conducted by the University
of Lincoln’s Sleep Lab showed participants were twice likely to say they slept better when using Breaze.
