Bcalm

Blended By Somebody Who Actually Trained For It.

The essential oil aisle is full of brands run by people who read a book about it, which is why Becky Pope's credentials are the first thing worth knowing. She is a clinical aromatherapist registered with the IFPA, the professional body, and she started B Calm in 2021 in Essex after deciding that if she was going to do this she would do it properly rather than approximately.

The lavender is Lavandula angustifolia, steam distilled in Provence, which is the version worth having rather than the broad category the word usually covers. Around it sit frankincense, sweet orange, geranium, eucalyptus, lemon and peppermint, hand blended in the UK into three trios: Breathe Calm for the morning, Live Calm for the middle of the day, Rest Calm for the evening. Everything is organic, vegan and COSMOS certified through Oils4Life, and the range took Gold for Best Essential Oil Product at the Global Green Beauty Awards in 2025. There is a glass diffuser to put them in, and single oils for anyone who would rather do their own blending.
