The Good Night

The Good Night by This Place is not a classic body cream, but a soothing pulse point cream for the evening. It is applied to the wrists, forearms, neck, or shoulders and accompanies the transition from day to night with a calming scent, active ingredients, and a soft, nourishing texture.

At the center is botanical melatonin, complemented by lavender, palo santo, and blue tansy. This fragrance and plant composition is designed to calm the senses, make the evening routine more mindful, and promote restful sleep. Jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and glycerin keep the skin supple while the cream absorbs gently and leaves a soft skin feel.

• Melatonin is a natural messenger closely linked to the body's natural day-night rhythm. The Good Night uses a plant-based form derived from fermented St. John's Wort that supports relaxation, letting go, and the transition into night. The cream is gentle and nourishing for the skin and becomes a recurring signal for the senses to slow down.
• Lavender is one of the best-known scents for calm and relaxation. Its soft, herbal-floral fragrance helps consciously separate the evening routine from the day. When applied to the neck, shoulders, or wrists, it creates a peaceful scent moment that supports deep breathing and prepares the body for a slower, more relaxed mood.
• Palo Santo adds a warm, slightly resinous and woody depth to the fragrance composition. The scent is grounding and rounds off the floral notes of lavender and blue tansy. Palo Santo gives the cream its warm, calm ritual character.
• Blue Tansy, also called Blue Tansy, gives the cream a special aromatic facet. The scent is soft, herbal, and slightly sweet, promoting a feeling of calm and balance. At the same time, blue tansy complements the formulation with a skin-nourishing plant component that suits sensitive or evening-stressed skin well.

The Good Night is ideal when the day has been long, thoughts are harder to let go of in the evening, or a firmer evening ritual would be beneficial. The cream does not promise instant sleep at the push of a button but creates a calm, supportive care moment: breathe in, massage in, slow down. It is best applied about 30 minutes before bedtime—as the last step of the evening routine on the neck, shoulders, or pulse points.

Usage

• About 30 minutes before bedtime, place a small amount of The Good Night in the palms and warm it briefly. Breathe in the scent consciously, then apply the cream to wrists, forearms, neck, or shoulders.
• Massage in with slow, gentle movements. The cream can be used alone as an evening ritual or as a complement to regular facial care. Allow to absorb briefly after application.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Not formulated for children's skin. Test cautiously first if you have very sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities.

Active Ingredients

• Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil) – Its high fatty acid content makes the skin soft, supple, and resilient. The oil has antibacterial properties, absorbs quickly, and contains vitamins B, E, minerals, and beta-carotene (provitamin A). It strengthens cell development and renewal, fights skin aging, and reinforces the skin's natural protective barrier. Also very suitable for hair and scalp care. Incidentally, jojoba oil is technically not an oil but a plant wax.
• Botanical Melatonin from fermented St. John's Wort – Melatonin is closely linked to the natural day-night rhythm. This Place uses a plant-based form derived from fermented St. John's Wort in The Good Night. The active ingredient is central to the formula and gives the cream its clear focus: it accompanies the evening routine, supports conscious winding down, and makes the transition from day to night calmer and more tangible.
• Palo Santo adds a warm, slightly resinous and woody depth to the fragrance composition. The scent is grounding and rounds off the floral notes of lavender and blue tansy. In The Good Night, palo santo makes the application less classically lavender-like and gives the cream its warm, calm ritual character.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) nut butter) is derived from the fruit of the karité tree. Shea butter has a long tradition as a care and healing agent. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, the butter protects against environmental stress, binds moisture, fights free radicals, promotes cell regeneration, and makes skin and hair soft and supple.
• Grapeseed Oil (Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil) has a high content of linoleic acid and vitamins E and K. It is considered an oil with exceptionally strong antioxidant and cell-protective properties. The oil promotes skin elasticity, has anti-inflammatory properties, and regulates sebum production.
• Birch Bark Oil naturally contains methyl salicylate and adds a clear, slightly activating note to the cream. Applied to the neck and shoulders, it can intensify the massage sensation and make the perception of stressed body areas more conscious. In The Good Night, this effect remains gently integrated—not sporty-sharp but part of a calm evening ritual.
• Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil) protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and premature aging. Its high lauric acid content gives the oil its antifungal and antibacterial properties. Coconut oil is comedogenic but still helps against impurities and is suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It moisturizes and makes the skin supple.
• Essential Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) oil) has calming, cleansing, and antiseptic effects. The gentle oil consists of linalyl acetate and linalool and stimulates cell growth. The skin benefits from improved blood circulation, and the antioxidants in lavender act as a natural anti-aging treatment. It heals inflammatory skin and pimples.
• Plant terpenes are natural fragrance and aroma compounds found in essential oils. In The Good Night, they arise from the composition of lavender, palo santo, blue tansy, and birch bark oil. They shape the warm, herbal-woody scent of the cream and support the sensual part of the evening routine: breathe consciously, slow down, let go of the day. For the skin, they remain embedded in a nourishing cream base of jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and glycerin.
