Yes: The listed ingredients are innocuous. I doubt it would have any benefit beyond giving you something to do but consider it safe. Establishing a stable predictable night routine that allows the kid to wind down & get ready for bed may be of help. No feeds at bedtime & reading to her from a distance may help.
