For many of our Young Living members, their favourite essential oil or oil-infused products relate to their beauty routines, cleaning practices or the ways in which they choose to relax and unwind, whether that be with invigorating massage oils or by blending their favourite aromas to concoct their own signature scents.
For our youngest oilers, however, we know the importance of dilution to protect their delicate skin, of simple storage and practicability when it comes to easy access on the go for parents, and of the child-friendly ingredients necessary to ensure that everything from homework time to bedtime goes ahead without a hitch.
With this in mind, we created our exceptional KidScents® range and in this blog, we’ll be taking you through our favourite essential oils for kids, while explaining how best to use the oils in our KidScents collection on your children’s skin – so what are you waiting for?
Can I use essential oils on my child?
When it comes to essential oils for kids, there are many that can be fantastic. However, it’s always important to exercise caution with topical applications to ensure they are introduced safely given their sensitive systems. When it comes to essential oil safety, dilution ratios may vary, but using our specially designed KidScents® collection alongside a moisturising carrier oil such as our Young Living V-6® Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex offers the best way to minimise the possibility of irritation or allergic reactions.
Additional carrier oils that you may already have within your home include Castor oil, Sunflower oil and Coconut oil, all of which are considered to be gentle enough for use on children’s skin alongside Young Living’s essential oils for kids.
