What is Purification® essential oil blend and what is it good for?

Ready to dive deeper into this household staple? Read on to learn how it’s made and what else Purification essential oil blend can do.

What is Purification® essential oil blend made of?

The six Young Living® essential oils in Purification essential oil proprietary blend are Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Myrtle, Rosemary, and Tea Tree. Each of these oils is carefully sourced exclusively for Young Living and is created through steam distillation of the plant it comes from. Steam distillation involves introducing steam to the leaves, stems, or flowers of a plant and waiting for the steam to release the oils inside the plant matter.

Harvesting the power of the plants behind Purification® blend

Citronella oil comes from a flowering grass commonly cultivated in Sri Lanka. Its fresh, lemony aroma is commonly used to fend off Mother Nature’s annoyances.

Lavandin oil, not to be confused with Lavender oil, comes from a hybrid of lavender and spike lavender. It has a much higher level of camphor (about 8–10 times as much) and a stronger, more herbaceous scent than regular Lavender essential oil.

Lemongrass oil is sourced from a fragrant, flowering grass that’s native to India, Guatemala, and other tropical countries. Like Citronella, this oil is a gardener’s favorite for warding off nature’s nuisances.

Myrtle oil is steam distilled from an aromatic shrub that grows in the Mediterranean. It has a fresh, eucalyptus-like scent and is packed with skin care benefits.

Rosemary oil, a common ingredient in soaps and household cleaners, is the result of distilling the fresh, flowering tops of a rosemary shrub. Its robust, invigorating, herbal aroma is ideal for freshening the air.

Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oil is obtained from tea tree leaves, which were traditionally used by Australia’s first peoples to cleanse the skin. Its crisp, clean scent is also a powerful odor neutralizer.

Using Purification® essential oil blend for cleaning recipes

Use Purification blend to create an innovative all-purpose cleaner without the harsh chemicals and overpowering aroma of commercial cleaning products. Here’s a simple recipe you can try: 10 drops Purification blend, 2–3 cups water, and 1 capful concentrated all-purpose cleaner, such as our own Thieves® Household Cleaner.

Need a quick, natural way to get rid of the smell of pet urine or wet dog in your carpet? Try this tip! Mix 25 drops of Purification blend with 1 teaspoon Epsom salt and add to a spray bottle with 1 cup each of water and apple cider vinegar. Spray this mixture on your carpet and let it sit for 10–15 minutes while it works its magic. Then blot the mixture with an old towel or rag to soak up any remaining moisture.

Using Purification® essential oil blend for cleansing the air

Diffuse Purification blend on its own or with refreshing Young Living® oils like Eucalyptus and Lime to make your home smell squeaky clean in minutes. To target odors in specific areas, put a few drops of this blend on cotton balls and stash them under your trash can liner, in your shoes, in air vents, or anywhere else you want to freshen up.

Using Purification® essential oil blend as a DEET-free spray

Make your own garbage disposal cleaning pods with 1 cup baking soda, ½ cup salt, ¾ cup liquid soap, and 30 drops Purification blend. Add water until the mixture has the texture of wet sand. Form into balls and let dry for 24 hours. To use, drop the pod in the disposal and let water run for about 10 seconds before turning your disposal on.

Purification® blend safety guidelines and notices

While Purification essential oil blend is simple to use, following these safety guidelines will prevent any mishaps and help you get more out of this potent beneficial blend.

Keep away from eyes and ears

If you use Purification blend in your skin care products, outdoor sprays, or other topical applications, avoid contact with your eyes, ears, and other sensitive areas. This means you should wash your hands thoroughly after handling this blend, especially if you tend to rub your eyes a lot or need to wear contact lenses.

Use topically and aromatically only

While some essential oils and blends offer wellness benefits when ingested, Purification blend is meant to be applied topically, diffused, or added to cleaning recipes. It is not safe to consume this blend.

Consult your health care provider

Some essential oils may interact with certain pre-conditions or are contraindicated for use during pregnancy and nursing. For example, Rosemary oil should be avoided during pregnancy. Since Purification blend contains Rosemary essential oil, we don’t recommend using it if you are pregnant or nursing.

Do a patch test first

Purification essential oil blend is well tolerated by most people and doesn’t typically require dilution. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may want to test how your skin will react to a single drop of the blend before using it more liberally. If your skin turns red or feels hot during the patch test, apply a carrier oil like V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex or olive oil to the affected area.

Don’t use with young children

Due to the inclusion of Rosemary essential oil, which is not advised for infants and young children, avoid using Purification blend with children under the age of two.

Be cautious around pets

Some essential oils that are safe for people can be toxic to animals in high concentrations. Tea Tree oil is one of these. Since Tea Tree oil is an ingredient in Purification blend, be careful when using this blend around your pets. Also, keep in mind that Tea Tree oil is not safe for human or animal consumption. For more information, consult your veterinarian.
