WELCOME
Welcome to our All Things KidScents class - I am so glad you’re here! I can’t wait to share about some incredible “tools” to have in your toolbox. Get ready to push the EASY button when it comes to caring for your kids’ wellness needs.
We’ll go through the entire Young Living KidScents Collection and cover ways you can start incorporating them into your daily routines, setting your kids up for success and giving their growing bodies exactly what they need to thrive.
QUALITY MATTERS
So many products sold to us on a regular basis can contain toxins that can accumulate in our bodies, especially our children’s bodies. We definitely don’t want that! It’s important to choose products that are TRULY safe. Many products are being advertised as “all-natural”, but are they really all that safe? The packages are pretty and the labels are clever, but the more you dig, the more you find out.
When you shop with Young Living you are getting quality products backed by a ‘Seed to Seal’ guarantee that you won’t find anywhere else. You can expect that Young Living will provide you with only the BEST - that includes their essential oils AND their wellness products.
- Plant material that is grown on corporately-owned farms or carefully vetted partner farms (that you CAN visit!)
- Sustainable farming and sourcing practices, providing the purest oil
- Great care is taken to preserve and protect natural resources
- Hand-weeded fields and ZERO use of pesticides
- Oils that retain all their natural constituents and therapeutic properties
- Use of food-grade distillers with state-of-the-art design and distillation methods
- Low pressure and low-temperature distillation, without the use of solvents or synthetic chemicals
- Rigorous testing on each batch by internal labs and third-party facilities
- Oils that are carefully reviewed through every step of production in order to meet or exceed industry safety and purity standards (beyond organic!)
And the best part… if the oils do not meet these high standards they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. 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. Now that’s amazing!!

USAGE AND SAFETY
Before we dive into the specifics, let’s discuss using essential oils with kids. According to some schools of thought, oils shouldn’t be used on children. Do yourself a favor and do NOT go looking online for advice on this topic. You will scare yourself into not using them. Remember, not all essential oils are created equally. Young Living takes GREAT care to ensure you are getting the best of the best, oils that are safe to use on and around your kiddos! We just have to take into account their smaller bodies and learning immune systems. Here are a few safety tips….
- When in doubt, dilute. There are no hard and fast rules about dilution so don’t stress over it. You just want to start slow since their systems are more sensitive than adults’. A good place to test out oils is on the feet. Thankfully, 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 but I’ve known many mothers to use them on children younger than that.
- Never drop oils directly into the eyes or ears.
- Be aware of any blends that contain citrus oils as these are photosensitive and should be avoided if being exposed to direct sunlight - or applied 12+ hours before exposure.
- Start with just a few drops or less when diffusing around kids. As you see how they respond to the oils, you can increase the amount as you see fit. If you’re in a more open room, you can use more. If you diffuse in a smaller, more compact area, use less. Everyone’s body has different needs and responds to oils in his/her own unique way so start slow. Young Living also has an adorable kid-friendly diffuser called “Feather the Owl” that kids love! It’s a humidifier, aroma diffuser, night-light, and white-noise machine - all in one. It’s definitely a must-have.
Don’t let all the “rules” with essential oils overwhelm you. Just get the oils on and around your kids; the oils will do their job. Lastly, involve your kids in the oil process… let them smell the oils, pick out their favorites, and whip up their own rollers and recipes. They’ll love getting to participate and have a say in what gets used.

What are some of your struggles during bedtime?
Owie
The name of this blend pretty much says it all, but it involves way more than you are probably thinking. You can grab this KidScents gem when your little one has some skin that needs soothing. You can even grab this oil to help ease emotional and mental hurt or stress... an area we may tend to overlook.
Last week my son fell off his bike. He was an absolute mess - wouldn’t calm down and just kept showing me his knees. We finally went inside and I applied this oil to his knees. When I applied the oil he calmed down almost immediately. We applied the oil three times a day for the next 3 days and they looked perfect by day 4.
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 emotional trauma of their own. Check out the oils it contains…
- Idaho Balsam Fir - soothing and rejuvenating to the body and mind
- 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)
- Cistus - honey-like scent; used for stress and trauma
- Hinoki - energizing and uplifting to the mind
- Clove - supports overall wellness; 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 the area in need. Use as needed.

KidScents Personal Care Products
In addition to the line of KidScents oil blends, Young Living also offers an array of personal care products that can be used on your kiddos every single day 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.
The other night I walked into the bathroom and my daughter had squerted a TON of toothpaste out on her toothbrush. Of course she popped it right into her mouth, sucked it all off and then asked for more. Who knows how many times she did that before I got into the bathroom. With other toothpaste I would flip it over and read “Do not swallow. Call poison control is swallowed.” Seriously? Call poison control if swallowed? This is made to be put in our mouth? You will not read that on Young Living toothpaste because it is SAFE. It is a huge relief for me that this is safe even if she eats some.
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 knowing that no mineral oils, synthetic perfumes, artificial colorings, or toxic ingredients are being absorbed through your kiddo’s skin.
KidScents Bath Gel
This hypoallergenic gel is enriched with nourishing botanicals for a natural clean that is gentle on sensitive skin. It contains Tangerine and Lemon essential oil plus kiwi and cucumber extract - so it smells divine! Just apply a small amount to a washcloth or directly to the skin. Rub gently, then rinse.
KidScents Lotion
This lotion is enriched with nourishing botanicals in a non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and is gentle on sensitive skin. It replenishes the skin’s hydration and contains only the best ingredients - including Tangerine, Lemon, Orange, and Rosemary.
KidScents Tender Tush
This is an essential oil balm formulated with natural vegetable oils and pure essential oils - including Frankincense, Lavender, and Ylang Ylang - to moisturize and nourish dry skin. Made without synthetic perfumes, mineral oils, artificial colorings, or harsh chemicals, this mild essential oil moisturizer promotes healthy skin while soothing sensitive skin. Apply liberally to the diaper area as often as needed to help soothe and protect skin. And FYI - you don’t have to be a baby to reap the benefits of this balm. Wink Wink! ;)

KidScents MightyPro
It contains both pre- and probiotics. Prebiotics and probiotics help support digestion, the immune system, and emotional balance.

KidScents MightyZyme
MightyZyme chewables contain enzymes that naturally occur in the body that support and assist the digestive needs of growing bodies and the normal digestion of foods. Enzymes are required for your body to function properly because without enzymes you wouldn't be able to breathe, swallow, drink, eat, or digest your food.
