In a world where the pace of life is increasingly intense, finding effective and gentle ways to soothe the body and mind has become a priority. It is with this in mind that ONSKYN's CALM collection was conceived: a simple, discreet solution adapted to those who wish to manage moments of tension, mental fatigue, or emotional overload—without ingestion, without complications.
In this article, we explore what the passionflower plant is, how it works, why it is useful in a transdermal patch, and what current science says about it.
🌿 What does “CALM” mean in the ONSKYN universe?
For ONSKYN, well-being is not about instant results or unrealistic promises. It is based on the idea that supporting the body can be gradual, respectful of its natural rhythms , and seamlessly integrated into daily life . This philosophy guided the creation of CALM , a formula developed to help the body regain a state of balance despite stress.
Unlike swallowable supplements, ONSKYN patches are applied to the skin , making them a gentler alternative that is easy to integrate into a wellness routine.
🌼 Passionflower: a plant studied for relaxation
CALM's key ingredient is passionflower extract ( Passiflora incarnata ). This plant has been used for centuries in various traditions for its soothing properties.
✦ What is passionflower?
Passionflower is a climbing plant easily recognizable by its elaborate and colorful flowers. In herbal medicine, it is mainly used for its effects on the nervous system, particularly in cases of tension, irritability, or difficulty relaxing .
✦ How does it work?
Passionflower contains several bioactive compounds—such as certain flavonoids —that can interact with receptors in the central nervous system. These interactions modulate pathways involved in regulating mental agitation and physiological responses to stress. Much research is exploring how these compounds influence circuits involving GABA , a neurotransmitter associated with relaxation.
🧴 Why passionflower in a transdermal patch?
In CALM, passionflower is not just one ingredient among others: it is integrated into a transdermal formulation designed to deliver its compounds progressively and continuously.
✦ Advantages of the patch format
✔️ Gentle and prolonged diffusion
The patch allows for a continuous release of ingredients over several hours, avoiding sudden variations in concentration.
✔️ No digestive passage
The skin serves as a gentle entry route, which may be suitable for people sensitive to oral administration.
✔️ Practical integration
Easy to apply, discreet, compatible with day or evening routines.
📊 What research says today
Studies specifically focusing on passionflower and transdermal materials continue to evolve. However:
-
Research shows that passionflower has calming effects on the nervous system , particularly in contexts of mild to moderate stress.
-
Passionflower compounds are being studied for their ability to modulate neuronal pathways involved in relaxation, in relation to receptors such as GABA.
👉 It is important to emphasize that each person is unique: effects may vary, and wellness patches are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.
🧠 How to integrate CALM into your routine
The CALM patch can be applied as soon as you feel tension or before potentially stressful situations. Here are a few tips:
-
Application area : wrist, inner arm or other clean and dry area.
-
Duration : Wear the patch for up to 12 hours for continuous diffusion.
-
Consistency : using it regularly can help create a soothing ritual effect.
