Littles & Oils
I get it mama. Oils feel overwhelming but these are such tools in your mama toolkit for supporting your littles. Here are some basic you can keep in your back pocket to help you feel confident grabbing at oils and Young Living products when your little one needs it most.
DILUTION
When in doubt, dilute! Little ones have sensitive, delicate skin and we always want to start slow when introducing them to our babies. Here are ratios to use as a guide:
6 months: 1 drop essential oil in 1 tbsp carrier oil
6 months - 2 years: Dilute 4x the label recommendation (4:1)
2 - 5 years: Dilute 3x the label recommendation (3:1)
5 - 10 years: Dilute 2x the label recommendation (2:1)
KIDSCENTS - YOUR EASY BUTTON
Formulated for kids and their most common issues, the KidScents essential oil line are the perfect tools to send to school with your kids! Each oil comes pre-diluted for children, making application easy for them to do themselves anywhere! Try replacing the top with a roller fitment for even easier application is a great way for usage, too.
