How Wink Products Changed the Game for my Family
Since my diagnosis with skin cancer, I really started focusing on what products our family was using and how natural they really were. But I didn’t just want something that claimed to be natural, I also needed it to be truly effective.
I’ve tried many products over the years but only one changed our lives in a personal way.
You see, although my cancer surgery was successful; it left its toll on my youngest daughter, who struggled with great anxiety over the fear of losing me.
No matter how I tried to comfort her fears, she could hardly leave my side. And she was getting worse by the week.
My sister-in-law gave me a product called Zen Drops and told me to try giving them to our daughter for her anxiety. I figured it couldn’t hurt, especially since I knew it was a natural product and I was comfortable with the listed ingredients.
Within a few weeks of taking the drops, our daughter was a different girl. She went from taking the drops nearly every hour to maybe once a week and after a few months, she didn’t need them anymore.
I was so thankful for how that little bottle helped our lives resume that I immediately started trying Wink’s other products.
If you are like me and Wink Naturals is new to you, too, let me explain how else these products have helped me as a mom and you can see if this is a company worth checking out.

What is Wink Well?
Wink first started as a company that specialized in providing natural products for moms and their babies but has since grown to include family items and even a men’s line.
As a Mom, Why do I Choose Wink Naturals?
As you read, the very first product I tried changed our lives. I don’t say that to be dramatic, but if you have ever had a child struggle with anxiety, then you will understand the toll this takes on a family.
I wouldn’t consider myself a huge “natural mom”, but knowing that what our family uses is natural and safe has become a big deal to me. With Wink, I understand what is in every product and I can feel confident in using them.
And my kids love their products. They get just as excited for my boxes to come in, often reminding me to reorder when we are running low. They’re Wink kids for sure!
And I love that I can try any product and if I am not satisfied, they have a “100% Happy Guarantee”. I just need to email them at [email protected] and they take care of any issues I have.
Their customer service is friendly, personal and honestly, the gals who work with you are so awesome you’ll want to keep the conversation going. lol
Wink Naturals Product Reviews
I’ll review some of my favorite products I’ve used but if you're still skeptical, why not give them a try? Not every product has fit well with our family and I have had to return a couple items. But no matter what, I have always had an excellent customer experience!
Boost + Vitamin C
I love Boost. So do the others in our family. Seriously, it’s a sad day in our house when we run out and our next shipment hasn’t arrived.
I am not a powdered drink person. I don’t like flavored waters or Gatorade, etc. So I had no plans to try Boost. But my sis-in-law gave me a sample, and I wanted to say I at least tried it.
She didn’t give me enough! haha We passed around the water bottle like it was the last bottle on earth, and I ordered my own canister right then.
We drink it every day. Mainly because it tastes so good. But my husband (whose stomach cannot tolerate vitamins) can drink this with no problems, and it has helped keep him hydrated on summery days working in the yard.
It has only 10 calories per serving and the sugar count is so minuscule I don’t even count it in my daily amount. It has a great source of immune-supporting vitamins, including Elderberry and Echinacea, so I feel great about my kids taking it, who really need no motivation; they LOVE it! Since taking it, my family has avoided getting sick this season.
AND, probably best of all, it has hampered my desire for soda, which has helped me lose weight!
Tip: I fill my 24oz bottle with water and 1/2 scoop of boost twice a day. I have no problem getting in my daily quota of water now. (Make sure you shake it well and it’s best when cold.)
Zen Drops
You already know why I love this product, but I have to add my own personal experience after trying it out for the first time myself.
After my hysterectomy, my usual even-keel hormones lost their ever-loving mind and I found myself feeling like a passenger on a plane without a pilot. It was quite scary.
So while I was in my kitchen cooking dinner the other day, trying desperately to fend off the overwhelm that insisted I needed to curl up in the corner of the room and cry hysterically, I asked my daughter to fetch me the drops. And hurry!
The instructions say that I should use two dropper fulls, but I only took one since it tastes like chocolate and I’m not much of a chocolate fan. Then I went back to making dinner.
Halfway through cutting veggies, I suddenly realized I felt completely myself and in control again. I couldn’t even tell you when the transition happened or how fast it happened, but it was such a marked difference I could have cried. From joy (or relief!), not the hide-in-the-corner overwhelm from earlier.
So I’m just going to say this, Zen Melts has bumped itself up to my favorite product. Because not even my go-to calming oils could touch the hysteria that was building in me. This stuff is quite literally, a game-changer!
It’s also great to take with their Sleep Melts.
Tip: Did you know Zen Drops are safe to give to dogs? They are great for storms and fireworks when your dog might be most scared. Our Fable shakes terribly during both, but she loves the drops and they calm her enough to stop the shaking.
Llama Lotion
One of our daughters suffers from incredibly dry hands in the winter, and most lotions burn when applied. For the longest time we have been using coconut oil, but she hated the oily feeling it left behind.
Llama Lotion is the only one she has tried that she will use now. It never burns to put it on, and it soaks up nicely. Plus, it’s just thick enough to feel truly moisturized.
Tip: For the times when the dryness is extra, we will top the lotion with a thin layer of Bum Balm to trap in the moisture longer.
Sleep Zen Melts
I bought these for myself since I sometimes have trouble sleeping but I am not a huge fan of mint, so even though these melts really help me relax, I don’t take them often.
My girls, on the other hand, love the taste of mint and love taking them before bed. I rarely hear anything from their room after they take the melts, which has been nice on nights when they would have otherwise chatted for hours and woken tired the next day.
They also carry Kids Sleep Drops which my sister-in-law gives to her daughter who is a bundle of energy every waking moment. And my niece loves taking the drops, too!
Tip: If you want to try just one sleep product, you can half the adult melts for kids or double the dose for adults if you get the kids melts.
Energy
Out of all the products I have from Wink, I use this one the most. When I need mental clarity because I'm feeling distracted or mentally tired, this stuff gets me back in the game. That's a big deal for me since I work from home.
My girls take it to school when they have finals and midterms and it really helps us get through the midday slump without having to resort to coffee. I also love how you don't feel jittery when taking these. It's gentle enough to feel subtle but heavy-lifts when you need it to.
Tip: When trying them out, I recommend taking just one and working yourself up to more if needed.
Protect and Whiten Toothpaste
Dementia runs in my family and so we have decided to limit our use of fluoride and changing our toothpaste was the first (and easiest) change we have made.
But trying to find a toothpaste that has an ingredient to replace the benefits of fluoride has been tough. Enter Wink.
Their toothpaste uses Kalident to naturally remineralize tooth enamel, and as a mom, it’s a big deal to know my kids are getting the best dental care without compromising their health.
Don’t forget to check out their new bamboo toothbrushes with charcoal-infused bristles!
The One Multi Cleaner
I'm saving the best for last, since this is one of the best products Wink has, in my opinion. I guess I lied when I said I use Energy the most. I do use it everyday, but I use this product multiple times a day. We have replaced all of our cleaners with this one.
And this is the only hand soap we use in our bathrooms. The One is a concentrate so a little goes a long way.
Remember how my daughter gets really dry hands sometimes? Soap irritates them horribly. Once we made the switch to The One, she can wash her hands without any pain. I could have cried when I saw the relief on her face after she tried it the first time!
Tip: You can use The One for so many things; try it in your laundry!
The One Stain Stick
This is the best stain stick I've used in a really long time! I keep several on hand so I'm never without it. It's great for spot cleaning stains on rugs, couches and, of course, clothes.
What is the best way to purchase products?
Go to winkwell.com and check out their subscriptions. Subscriptions allow you to auto-ship anything you don’t want to risk running out of, and they offer it at a reduced price.
Wink lets you know ahead of time when your next shipment is due to ship so you can swap out items or push the shipment back to whenever you need it. (Make sure you add their email to your contacts so the email doesn’t get lost in the spam filter.)
Is Wink a pyramid scheme or MLM?
Wink used to have an excellent venture member program where people could earn money by selling Wink products but that program is no longer available. Now it works like every other company where you can earn a small commission by referring products to others. You can also buy wholesale to sell directly to customers.
Ok, this is my Wink review and as you can see, I have loved getting to know these products and introducing them to our family’s daily routines. And knowing they have natural and plant-based ingredients makes them more valuable to me, as a mom.
Wink Well has great products for families, but if you are a young family, their line of baby care products are great! (You really need to check out their teething gel, that stuff is magic!)
