Women will use approximately 80 chemicals BEFORE breakfast. Wait, what? Yep, in just one product there are tons of ingredients and many of them are known to be carcinogenic and /or endocrine disruptors. It's bad stuff. It's bad for us, our family, and even our pets.
I know when I first started learning more about the harmful ingredients in our cleaning products, I was shocked. It can all be a little overwhelming trying to figure out which ingredients to avoid BUT we are gonna break it down and talk about 6 ingredients that are in most of
Triclosan was BANNED by the FDA in 2016 BUT it is still in soaps, cleaners, and cosmetics.
Parabens used as a preservative and germicide. BANNED in Sweden and Japan.
Phthalates are used to make things pliable and are found in perfumes, kid's toys, and personal care products. Banned in Europe.
Sodium Laurel Sulfate creates that lather that we all love BUT it has been banned in Europe and Canada.
Propylene Glycol is used in cleaners, shampoos, lotions AND the main ingredient in ANTIFREEZE Y'all.
Fragrances are found in candles, perfumes, cosmetics and much more. What is scary about this one is that companies DO NOT have to disclose fragrances on their ingredient list. Fragrance can mean hundreds of different chemicals that you are being exposed to.
How long do you think it takes these chemicals to enter your bloodstream?
26 seconds. Yep, 26 seconds before the harmful effects of all those chemicals are being distributed throughout your body. Since many of these ingredients are endocrine disruptors, it's no wonder that so many people have hormone problems these days.
Here is the exciting part. You do not have to use these 6 harmful ingredients. You have a choice. You can make many of your own cleaning and personal care products using essential oils. Don't worry, it's not hard and takes very few natural ingredients.
After a lot of researching I chose Young Living essential oils.

Time to eliminate those feelings of worry and helplessness and replace them with confidence and empowerment as we learn about some amazing products for your kiddos!
You will learn about The Young Living KidScents Collection along with ways you can start incorporating these into your daily routines to set your kids up for success and give their growing bodies exactly what they need to thrive. YAY!
Our children are not just little adults. Their bodies are continually growing, developing, and changing and are more vulnerable to the negative effects of harmful chemicals in their environment.
According to a research article from Health Affairs, there are four main differences that contribute to a child’s heightened susceptibility to chemical exposure:
- Children have greater exposure to toxic chemicals for their body weight than adults.
- Children’s metabolic pathways are immature, and a child’s ability to metabolize toxic chemicals is different from an adult’s.
- Children’s early developmental processes are easily disrupted.
- Children have more time than adults to develop chronic diseases.
You can learn more about each of these points, and read the full article here: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.2011.0151
This is why it is important to look around your home and take a closer look at the everyday household and personal care products you are using on yourself and your children.
Grab one or two of the products you use most often on your kids, flip them over, and read the ingredients. Pick the first couple and Google “dangers of . . .” and insert the ingredient name. Does anything surprise you? Alarm you? Then come back here to see what else is out there. We do the best we can as parents, but when you know better, you do better.
If you want products that work, then quality matters. There is so much more to Young Living than essential oils.

Young Living has a Seed to Seal guarantee and promise that ensures their products are safe and effective. The company abides by very strict guidelines to fulfill this promise to us, and it is important that you know about them so you can feel confident in what you are buying and using.
- YL owns its own farms, which no other major company does. It has partner farms that have to abide by the same standards.
- YL won’t plant on soil that has been in contact with ANY chemicals within 50 years. (Organic standards are only five years!)
- YL picks the absolute best seeds from strong, thriving plants.
- YL hand weeds and uses its own oils on plants for pest control to avoid harmful chemicals.
- YL harvests at peak times.
- YL distills on site without harsh chemicals.
- YL tests every batch multiple times throughout the process with state-of-the-art equipment.
Want to know what I love most? If a batch doesn’t meet YL standards for any reason, it doesn't get bottled up to distribute. YL would rather have something go out of stock than let an inferior product slip through to us. It's rare to find a company with such high standards.
As a parent, how important is quality to you on a scale of 1-10? 1 being not important, 10 being very important? On a scale of 1-10, how important is it that a company be transparent with you about what is in its products? 1 being not important, 10 being very important.
As always, when using essential oils on adults or children, you never want to put them directly into the eyes or ears. You also want to be aware of any blends that may contain citrus oils as these are photosensitive and should be avoided if being exposed to direct sunlight.
The oils from the KidScents line come pre-diluted to make application easy, taking the guesswork out of diluting it yourself. The recommended application is for children ages 2-12. Remember, you know your child the best. Use your best judgment and see what works for them. Start ‘low and slow’ - apply to the feet, using just a drop or two and go from there.
These oils can also be diffused! Start with just 3-4 drops and adjust as you see fit. What is one thing your kids complain about most often?
TummyGize is a blend perfect for little tummies that aren’t feeling so well. I have actually used TummyGize myself when needing some extra support. It contains seven oils that are specifically formulated and blended to soothe and relax.
Spearmint - gentler than peppermint and enhances relaxation
Peppermint - supportive and soothing
Tangerine - rich in limonene (Google the benefits)
Fennel - used as a digestive aid for thousands of years and mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, the Ebers Papyrus
Ginger - soothes, comforts, and balances
Cardamom - protects the stomach
Anise - a key ingredient in the Essentialzymes supplement
Are you seeing a connection here? --> Little tummies will love this blend!
Usage:
Add an AromaGlide™ roller fitment to the top for easy roll-on application. If you don't have a roller top that's ok! Just add a drop onto the belly button and rub around.
Apply in a clockwise motion to follow the normal digestion pattern every 30 minutes for an hour and as needed thereafter.
BONUS PRODUCT
No tummy is perfect without a probiotic!
The KidScents MightyPro pairs perfectly with TummyGize for added digestive support. It contains both pre- and probiotics. Prebiotics and probiotics help support digestion, the immune system, and emotional balance. They do this by stimulating and replenishing “good bacteria” through the live cultures. MightyPro has 8 billion active, live cultures!
You can sprinkle it on cold food and drinks for easy consumption. It also tastes great on its own . . . think healthy Pixie Stick! Your kids will love it!
I love that they are in individual packets and it doesn't need to be refrigerated. My kids eat it like candy!
This blend is amazingly effective! It is rejuvenating, refreshing, and perfect for little lungs.

What are some of your struggles during bedtime?
The name pretty much says it all, but it involves way more than you are probably thinking. You can grab this oil when your little one has some skin that needs soothing. You can even grab this oil to help ease emotional and mental hurt and stress... an area we may tend to overlook.
Children have to work through some of the same feelings and emotions as adults do, but at times it can be harder for them to process. Oils have a powerful impact on the emotional center of the brain and can be a great tool when helping your little ones deal with the emotional trauma of their own.

Tea Tree - cleansing and supports healthy skin
Helichrysum - known for its restorative properties
Elemi - in the same botanical family as Frankincense and Myrrh (great for skin)

Hinoki - energizing and uplifting to the mind
Clove - supports overall wellness, the main ingredient in Thieves
You can witness in this blend how intentional Gary was in choosing oils that are useful for our physical body along with our emotional minds to benefit the body as a whole.
Usage:
Apply Owie topically to improve the appearance of your child’s skin. Start with just a drop and adjust accordingly.
What kind of emotions do your kids display where you would love something to help them? Any tricks that you know work for them?
Speaking of the mind, that brings us to our last oil in the KidScents Collection - GeneYus. This blend is perfect for helping young minds focus and concentrate on projects and the task at hand. Let’s be honest ... I’ve never met a kid who couldn’t use a little extra help in this area, have you??

When do you notice your kids (or yourself) needing some extra help focusing?

In addition to the line of KidScents oils, Young Living also offers a full array of KidScents products that can be used on your kiddos every single day, like toothpaste and shampoo, to ensure nothing but the best is being absorbed into their little bodies.
KidScents Slique Toothpaste
This is the perfect toothpaste for kids of all ages. It makes a great starter toothpaste during those crucial years when kids are getting their primary teeth, but will also carry them to their teenage years, gently cleaning their teeth and gums with safe and natural ingredients. That means NO synthetic dyes or flavors. The addition of Slique Essence and Thieves essential oils make this highly effective at keeping teeth whiter, gums healthier, and combating plaque.
KidScents Shampoo
Contains only the finest, natural ingredients for cleansing and balancing the pH of your children’s hair. You can have the peace of mind in knowing that no mineral oils, synthetic perfumes, artificial colorings, or toxic ingredients are being absorbed through your kiddos skin.
Be sure to check out the Bath Gel and Lotion, too, along with the KidScents supplements!
NOTE: If your kids are highly sensitive to gluten, please know that the shampoo, bath gel, and lotion all contain wheat germ oil. The Seedlings Line would be a great option for you instead!
