Cool Down, Calm Down: How Chillax Supports Menopause Mood + Heat
When we talk about midlife care, it’s easy to focus only on skincare. Yes, skin changes during perimenopause are real. But so are the mood swings, the hot flashes, the brain fog, the 3 a.m. wakeups, and the feeling that your nervous system has its own secret schedule.
Skincare is part of it, sure. But so is nervous system care. So is cooling your skin during a hot flash. So is honoring your midlife mood - not brushing past it.
That’s where Chillax comes in.
It’s a pocket-sized essential oil roller created to help you feel cooler, calmer, and a little more in control, whether you're sweating through a silent meeting meltdown or trying to relax before bed.
A Blend for Mood, Heat, and Hormonal Shifts
Chillax is one of our best-loved rollers. It’s simple, sensory, and designed to do three things well:
Cool the body (especially during a hot flash or stress spike)
Calm the mind (when you’re feeling anxious, irritated, or foggy)
Support hormonal balance (gently, with no gimmicks)
Inside each roller:
Lavender – calming, relaxing, sleep-supportive
Clary Sage – hormone-supportive, stress-reducing
Peppermint – cooling and mentally refreshing
Menthol crystals – a little extra chill when you need it
Sunflower oil – lightweight, nourishing, and skin-friendly
What the Science Says
This blend isn’t just a nice idea—it’s supported by actual clinical research.
🌿 Clary Sage and Cortisol
In a 2014 study, 22 menopausal women inhaled clary sage essential oil. Afterward, their bloodwork showed:
Cortisol (stress hormone) dropped significantly—by up to 36%
Serotonin (feel-good hormone) rose, especially in those with low mood
This suggests clary sage may help reset the nervous system during moments of hormonal stress or emotional overload.
🌼 Lavender and Calm
Lavender has a long history of clinical support for:
Reducing anxiety
Improving sleep
Lowering cortisol
It interacts with GABA pathways in the brain, helping you shift from wired to rested.
❄️ Peppermint + Menthol = Cool It Down
Peppermint activates cooling receptors in the skin, while menthol offers fast-acting relief when you’re flushed or overwhelmed. Together, they create a refreshing wave that clears heat from the surface and fog from the mind.
When to Use Chillax
During a hot flash – Roll onto the back of your neck, chest, or wrists
Before sleep – Support relaxation and temperature regulation
In the moment – Calm your body before a conversation, a meeting, or a meltdown
Midday reset – Keep it nearby for pulse-point refreshment when things feel too much
It’s Not Just a Roller. It’s a Ritual.
We don’t believe in miracle cures. We believe in tools—small, consistent ways to support yourself during seasons of change.
Chillax isn’t about “fixing” hormones. It’s about helping you feel what you feel while offering a little ease, a little clarity, a little cool-down. It’s one part of a bigger ritual: skincare for your skin, care for your mood, kindness for your nervous system.
This roller belongs in your life the way a favorite pair of jeans does. Quietly helpful. There when you reach for it. Made for you, not just for your symptoms.
