This blog mentions that you should avoid using blends with the oils listed. One of those oils is Blue Tansy which is found in the Kidscents Shampoo and Tender Tush. Does this mean you shouldn't use these products on children under 2 yrs old?
Hi Margaret, Blue Tansy is no longer included as an ingredient in KidScents® Tender Tush or Shampoo as the products were recently redesigned for increased sustainability and performance. Thanks for stopping by with your question.
I have loved using Lavender with my babies! I've also been so thankful for the Thieves Household Cleaner. We use so many oils every day around here, but for my babies, Lavender has always been my favorite!
Thanks so much for making this info available!
Excellent information! Essential oils are so wonderful for children! This is a great guideline graphic to hold onto!
Some great suggestions above especially for those nervous mommies!
I love Young Living Lavender and Sacred Frankincense for my happy baby. Thanks for the reminder for how powerful the oils are. It is important to know which ones to stay away from for the kids. Also how to safely dilute with carrier oil for the essential oils with children.
I use oils for my baby every day: Cedarwood, Lemon, Orange, Roman Chamomile, Lavender and Copaiba are my go-to's.
One additional question: the last statement in the purple box...
Does that mean me wearing it would help them get used to it?
Hi Shelly, That's exactly what it means. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
Thank you for posting!
I am in home childcare and am currently teaching my families about Young Living. They seem to be very open to what the oils have to offer.
Lavender, Frankincense, Lemon, Cedarwood and Copaiba are my must haves for my little ones. Also anything in the tea tree family, especially the Manuka available right now -love!
