  • Naturally derived, gentle surfactants - These ingredients gently cleanse without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier, while also helping to maintain a healthy microbiome.

to Use

Gently squeeze a small amount into the palm of your hand and massage it into wet skin. Rinse throughly and pat dry, repeating both morning and night.

BALANCE Dual-Phase Toner

As step two of the system, BALANCE Dual-Phase Toner helps reduce the appearance of pores and blemishes, may help against future breakouts, and provides all-day shine control for a more flawless complexion. This formula restores the skin after cleansing, so you can get the appearance of a brighter, detoxified, and more clarified complexion after two weeks.

Key Ingredients
  • Noni extract - this ingredient supports a healthy microbiome, reduces excess sebum on the surface of the skin, and minimizes the appearance of blemishes. Native to the Southeast Asia and Australia, noni is noted for being able to survive in harsh environments and is one of the first plants to colonize lava-ridden areas. This extract can interact with the skin's microbiome, effectively acting on the dysbiosis to perfect the skin's appearance. It targets the common microbiota imbalances associated with blemish-prone skin. It also decreases the relative production of S. aureus and P. acnes, while also maintaining the favorable skin microbiota S. epidermidis.
  • Ocean minerals - delivers immediate glow to the skin and help minimize the appearance of pores in only 15 minutes. Our minerals are from sea water sourced from a deep marine lake off the Atlantic Coast, located in Noirmoutier, France - an island known for its salt marshes and salt banks. This sea water flows through different geological layers within the island, making it rich in manganese, zinc, iron, and lithium. These minerals promote clarity and luminosity and reduces dullness after two weeks of use. These ocean minerals have a soothing and remineralizing effect, bringing more magnesium, potassium, and sodium to the skin.
  • Pseudoalteronomonas ferment extract - produced via fermentation, this extract immediately reduces excess shine and provides an eight-hour mattifying effect on the skin. This sustainable marine extract is isolated from the glacial environment of the Antarctic Ocean. Over time, it works to reduce sebum accumulation, improving the overall appearance of oily and combination skin.
  • Ethically sourced bentonite clay - this ingredient absorbs excess oil and impurities without stripping skin of excess moisture, leaving it matte and healthy looking. Before shaking the toner, you will see the bentonite settle to the bottom of the bottle, creating a dual-phase formula.
  • Malachite extract - this semiprecious stone has a high copper content and is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging. It also gives the toner its blue color.
  • Proprietary essential oil blend - BALANCE by Young Living utilizes an exclusive blend of Lavender, Patchouli, Lemon Peel, and Rosemary essential oils to help support oily and blemish-prone skin.
A must-add step when prepping the skin for moisturizer, this toner can be used to pamper normal, combination, and oily skin types.

to Use
Shake well before use. After cleansing, use to moisten a cotton round and sweep over skin morning and night. Avoid eye area.

BALANCE Mattifying Lotion

As step three of the system, BALANCE Mattifying Lotion uses optimal hydration to keep your skin happy throughout the day, locking in moisture and supporting a healthy skin biome. This formula is also gentle enough for everyday use, relying on oil-balancing and mattifying ingredients to control shine for clearer-looking skin.

Key Ingredients
  • Oat kernel extract - this ingredient improves the overall appearance of the skin's complexion and reduces the appearance of blemishes and redness for healthy-looking radiant skin.
  • Noni stem cells - extracted from noni fruit, this ingredient supports a healthy skin microbiome and reduces excess sebum on the surface of the skin to help minimize the appearance of blemishes.
  • Bacillus ferment - this ingredient has been shown to help minimize the appearance of skin imperfections and support the skin's microbiome, leaving skin looking beautiful. The ferment is isolated from clay sourced following sustainable practices near Aiguamolls de l'Emporda, a natural park in Spain. It soothes the skin and supports the skin's microbiome by reducing P. acnes (Propionibacterium acnes) biofilm formation and porphyrins, which are metabolic products of P. acnes that can become lodged in pores, creating blemishes.
  • Marrubium vulgare - obtained via cell culture of horehound, this extract has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of blackheads, give skin a smooth and even-feeling texture, improve skin smoothness and softness, and combat against the damaging effects of pollution and blue light, providing a healthy-looking, radiant complexion. In nature, horehound spontaneously grows in temperate areas of Europe, America, and Asia and has a history of use in Ancient Rome and Arabic folk traditions. It is a flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family, which includes mint and white nettle, and is rich in beneficial phenylpropanoids that play a vital role in plant development by acting as an essential component of cell walls, giving this product soothing and protecting properties.
  • Rise starch (Oryza sativa) - this ingredient keeps skin shine free by absorbing excess sebum on the surface without stripping it of moisture.
  • Proprietary essential oil blend - BALANCE by Young Living utilizes an exclusive blend of Lavender, Patchouli, Lemon Peel, and Rosemary essential oils to help support oily and blemish-prone skin.
Formulated to help unbalanced skin fight back against blackheads, redness, blemishes, and excess oil, this mattifying lotion offers lightweight hydration for all skin types.

to Use
Gently press and pat a small amount evenly over the face. Repeat morning and night.

Inner Beauty Collagen Spotlight - June 2022

Inner Beauty Collagen

Supplement Spotlight



Whether you're wanting to up your hair & skin game, feeling that postpartum hair and skin slump, or needing a little extra boost after being under the weather, we've got you covered. Meet your new beauty BFF - Inner Beauty Collagen!


Inner Beauty Collagen at a Glance

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in as few as three weeks
  • Source of marine collagen (Type 1), which is more bioavailable and better absorbed by the skin, giving you better results
  • Supports the dermal layer after UV-induced skin damage
  • Contains prebiotic fiber, which supports healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome
  • Tasteless powder means you can mix it into anything you want
  • Strengthens and supports healthy hair and nails
  • Promotes skin elastic and hydration with Type 1 marine collagen and peach ceramides
  • Free of artificial fillers, flavors, colors, and sweeteners.
  • Mix it Up with these tips and tricks and yummy recipes in the 2022 Convention Recipe Book
Collagen is THE protein of the body. Its the most abundant protein and is the crucial support piece for your hair, skin, nails, joints, muscles and gut lining. Collagen also helps with melatonin levels (your natural sleep hormone), antioxidant levels (so important for overall health and longevity), and a healthy liver.

Unfortunately, collagen levels decrease as we get older (starting as early as age 25) but as it decreases, we actually need it the most (joint needs, skin and hair trouble, brittle nails, etc). As we age our natural collagen also becomes more fragmented and fragile, so it doesn't hold up as well as it used to. Because of this, adding a high quality collagen supplement to your health routine is a wonderful way to help your body replenish collagen levels and promote its own collagen production.

Made with a highly soluble form of bioavailable Type 1 marine collagen, peach ceramides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and no added sugars, Inner Beauty Collagen supports your natural radiance from the inside out. Inner Beauty Collagen supports vibrant, lit-from-within skin and healthy-looking hair and nails with a daily dose of collagen, antioxidants, and other skin-supporting ingredients that are naturally derived and sustainably sourced, so you can feel good about your skin and your purchase.

Background

Young Living cares about bringing natural products that work, so they have been working on a collagen formulated for the past four years! Chasing fads doesn't interest YL, but if a supplement looks promising, they often spend years examining the market for what works best.

Unlike other collagen powder supplements derived from bovine sources, Young Living's Inner Beauty Collagen features bioavailable Type 1 marine collagen source exclusively from sustainable marine sources. Other key ingredients include skin-hydrating ceramides extracted from Japanese peaches, tapioca fiber from plants harvested sustainably in Thailand, and exclusive Vanilla oleoresin that's blend with fractionated coconut oil instead of alcohol.

This incredible daily supplement isn't new though. It has been available in international market for years, and it was so popular that it became available to the US and Canada as of June 2022.

Benefits of Marine Collagen

Great for skin, hair, nails, joints and gut health!

Science has identified 28 different types of collagen, but there are four types that are important for the human body - Type 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Type 1 collagen comprises about 75% of the body's collagen glycoproteins and is the principal type found throughout the body. Many collagen supplements are sourced from grass-fed cattle or pasture-rained chicken and contain multiple types of collagen, but are primarily The 2 collagen. Fish collagen peptides are bioactive Type 1 collagen and are best known for providing the basis for beautify skin and strong connective tissues.

Marine collagen is rich in amino acids that support the body's natural production of collagen and is associated with skin, hair, nails, and keeping the joints lubricated and the gut healthy.

Promotes healing of skin cells & stimulates natural collagen production.

Inner Beauty Collagen is Type 1 marine collagen and contains a unique combination of amino acids, including hydroxyproline, glycine, and proline - distinctive peptides that stimulate cells in the skin, leading to collagen synthesis. These constituents promote the healing of skin cells and stimulate the production of natural collagen and fibroblasts, a biological cell that synthesizes collagens. This cascade of events will help maintain clear skin and improve nail and hair growth in the long run. Additionally, fish collagen peptides promote bone and join health by keeping joints lubricated and facilitating movement.

Much better absorbed than other collagen sources.

Marine collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently in the body, and the bioavailability is superior to collagen of both bovine or porcine. This is due to its smaller particular size compared to other types of collagen. This smaller particular size allows an easier and faster uptake and transportation of the collagen peptides to the skin, bones, and joints for the synthesis of new collagen.

Liquid vs Powdered Collagen 

Some will tell you that powdered collagen is not as bioavailable as liquid collagen. Marine collagen bioavailability is NOT affected or changed if it is in powder form or liquid form before consuming it. (When liquid shots are manufactured, the collagen is these products begins as a powder anyway.)

When you add Inner Beauty Collagen to a liquid, it dissolves almost instantly. That's partially due the purity of the collagen and the process that it undergoes to break down the collagen protein into peptides. The improved bioavailability also comes from the amino acid profile in marine collagen, and the type of amino acids in this matrix are absorbed more efficiently compared with other sources. One of the main benefits of this powered formula is that it's flavorless, so you can enjoy Inner Beauty Collagen with any beverage.

Key Ingredients

Inner Beauty Collagen contains 5 grams of marine collagen per scoop, and the first ingredient in this product is collagen peptides. Many other products on the market don't directly disclose how much collagen is in their products. Look for fruit juices and other additives that are grouped with collagen, as they may may how much collagen is in these products.

  • Type 1 marine collagen - a highly soluble form of bioavailable Type 1 collagen, this ingredient is sourced from fish using a property hydrolysis manufacturing process that uses no harsh chemicals or solvents. It is odorless and tasteless. The collagen in Inner Beauty Collagen is sustainably sourced from crimson snapper, saddletail snapper, carp, cod, pollock, tilapia, golden threadfin bream, milkfish, and sea perch.
  • Peach Ceramides - this ingredient helps provide hydration to the skin, decreasing skin dryness. The natural glucosylceramide in Inner Beauty Collagen is a white peach-derived ceramide made and produced in Japan. Its function is to increase ceramide production in the skin, which helps provide hydration, decreasing skin dryness. It also supports the dermal layer after UV-induced skin damage.
  • Biotin, Vitamin C, and Zinc - Vitamin C and Zinc support collagen synthesis for glowing skin, while biotin supports hair and nail health. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, and it is also an important physiological antioxidant that has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body.
  • Tapioca fiber - this prebiotic fiber supports healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome.
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) - is an antioxidant enzyme produced through fermentation.
  • Hyuluronic acid - this ingredient supports skin hydration, helping to reduce the appearance of fine Ines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin.
  • Vanilla oleoresin - this oleoresin is a unique form of vanilla that is neither an extract nor an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol, and is extracted from hand-pollinated orchid blossoms.
Sourcing

The collagen used is produced from 100% fish skin and scales that would otherwise be discarded and sourced from a sustainable and traceable supply chain, it is not irradiated and is certified non-GMO, presenting unmatched advantages in the market. This collagen comes from different types of fish, including red snapper, tilapia, milkfish, and others. This ingredient is extracted to include purified fish collagen peptides that will not contain any other unwanted compounds, oils, contamination, or toxins. Because this is a secondary source, these fish may come from farmed or wild-caught sources. The fish is carefully washed to ensure the highest-quality ingredients.

How to Use Inner Beauty Collagen

  • Mix 1 scoop of Inner Beauty Collagen with 4-8 ounces of water or your favorite hot or cold beverage daily.
  • Combine with 1/2 tsp of Golden Turmeric and 1 cup of water or juice in a shaker bottle for a synergistic effect.
  • Stir 1 scoop into a cup of your favorite hot tea such as Spiced Turmeric Herbal Tea.

FAQ

What makes Inner Beauty Collagen different from other collagen supplements?
  • Inner Beauty Collagen is a marine collagen, sustainably sourced from fish, so it contains Type 1 collagen, which is primarily known from its ability to improve hair, skin, nails, joint and gut health. Young Living's collagen supplement is the best, sustainably sourced marine collagen that is scientifically proven to provide results... and at the best price available.
  • Inner Beauty Collagen is highly soluble form of bioavailable Type 1 marine collagen that is combined with peach ceramides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and Vitamin C that further improve skin hydration, elasticity and hair and nail health.
Is liquid or powdered collagen better?
  • While both types of collagen have benefits, we prefer the Inner Beauty Collagen powder as it has more collagen per serving and is more bioavailable than typical liquid collagens, it comes as a tasteless powder that can be mixed into anything, and the bulk packaging is more sustainable and environmentally friendly than individual liquid packets.
What is the difference between AgilEase and Inner Beauty Collagen supplements? Doesn't AgilEase have collagen? Can I take both?
  • AgilEase is truly a joint health supplement that contains Type 2 collagen, hyaluronic acid, frankincense powder and a blend of essential oils that support the body's natural response to inflammation after exercise. In general, collagen is good for skin, hair, nails, joints, muscles, and gut health, but Type 2 collagen is specifically supportive of muscles and inflammatory states. Type 1 collagen is ideal for hair, skin, nails, and joints.
  • You can take both AgilEase and Inner Beauty Collagen if you choose as they each have a specific purpose and have unique benefits.
Are there ingredients containing gluten or derived from corn, soy, palm/coconut, or tree nuts in Inner Beauty Collagen?
  • There are no ingredients containing gluten or derived from corn, soy, palm/coconut, or tree nuts in this formula. Please be aware that while this product does not include any of these ingredients, it is possible that this product may be manufactured in a facility that uses these ingredients in other product formulations.

The Summer Handbook 2022

The 2022 Summer Handbook

Hello summer. Warm weather, sunshine-filled days and vacations (or staycations) are on the agenda, and we are ready for it all - with our favorite oils and Young Living products in tow! The lazy days of summer won't find us relaxing on our health, so here are some of our best tips, tricks, recipes and DIYs for enjoying the summer months to the fullest.

Wellness 101

School may be out for the summer, but we aren't getting lax on our wellness routines. Summer is a great time to really focus on great daily wellness habits that we can continue when the colder months arrive! Here are five simple things we're dong everyday this summer to focus on true self-care and overall health.

Master Formula
Our favorite daily multivitamin that packs a HUGE nutritional punch and helps us work towards daily wellness. The prepackaged capsules make traveling with this supplement so easy, too. Check out the Master Formula Supplement Spotlight bog post for more on this daily favorite.

Daily Red (NingXia Red, that is!)
If there were only one habit that you can start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it. This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family. Check out the NingXia Red Spotlight blog post for more on this incredible supplement.

Wellness Roller
This bend is something we use year round to help keep our immune systems on the go! We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet, or along the spine morning and evening year round, then us it more frequently as needed. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Thieves, Pine & Lemon
  • 20 drops each Geranium & Frankincense
  • fill with a carrier oil of choice
    Note: If you plan to be in direct sunlight, apply this somewhere your clothing will cover.
Diffusing 24/7
If we are awake (and even overnight too), our diffuser is on . Diffusing is such an incredible health habit. Not only will your home or office (and car too) smell amazing, you get the health benefits of breathing in the oils.

  • Start the morning off with Raven + Lemon to get everyone going and support the airways
  • Set the stage for a peaceful midday rest with Lavender + Grapefruit + Vanilla.
  • Bring the 'afternoon pick-me-up' vibes of a cup of coffee with Peppermint + Tangerine + Stress Away.
  • End your day with Thieves + Cedarwood to boost immunity and promote restful sleep.
Ditching and Switching
One of the biggest impacts you can have on your health is by ditching conventional products that are FULL of toxins and fragrance. Sadly these ingredients are often hidden or disguised by clever marking (greenwashing anyone?) or renamed as things that sound more natural. Here are a few simple swaps to make this summer.


Wellness Bonus - Raindrop Oral Spray

Sometimes our defenses need a little extra boost, and this combinational of oils is our go-to when we need something a little 'more.' This is a great one to have on hand when traveling. To a 10 mL glass spray bottle, add:

Did you see all of these other DIY Oral Sprays to add to your arsenal? Check it out for so many more oral sprays to try!

Fun in the Sun

'Tis the season for hot, sunshine-filled days, and we want to soak in every second of it while staying safe and health. Here are our top three necessities for safe, healthy fun in the sun.


Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes - reef safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?

Quick Tip - Make YL's Mineral Sunscreen application easy with this hack! Makes it even easier to apply, especially with kids by adding some to your hands and apply to the face.


LavaDerm After Sun Spray is your first aid kit BFF! LavaDerm brings relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, or really any minor skin irritation. Whether or not your skin has seen a little too much sun or wind, this spray will help you feel soothed and refreshed. Apply after a day outdoors for a sigh of relief.

Quick Tip - If you need some relief ASAP and don't have any LavaDerm on hand, try this DIY After Sun Spray:

No one wants to come in from a wonderful day outdoors with tons of itchy bites from outdoor pests... and you won't have to with the Young Living Insect Repellent! This liquid formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bits - so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free.

This incredible formula is gentle enough for the little ones, yet effective. You can use an empty Thieves Surface Spray bottle for easy applications. It is also available as wipes, with makes application on the go super easy!

Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
  • Continuous spray bottle
  • Bottle of YL Insect Repellent
  • 3 tbsp fractioned coconut oil or ClaraDerm Spray
  • 20 drops Citronella essential oil
    Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!)
Quick Tip - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations - add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella. Also try this DIY Outdoor Spray. To a small continuous spray bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, & Lavender
  • 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata & Tea Tree
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil or carrier of choice
    Note: if you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also, if you feel you need a stronger formula or are expertly susceptible to outdoor pests, add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium.

Photosensitive Oils


Summer and citrus oils are synonymous, and we are all about using citrus oils this time of year. As always, we want to keep everyone healthy and safe, so make sure to separate application of citrus oils and exposure to sunlight. As a general rule, avoid direct UV exposure to an area where you applied citrus oils for a minimum of 12 hours, up to 48 hours.

WHY?
Citrus Oils (and some others) contain natural molecules that react with sunlight and cause sensitivity to the skin. All of the Young Living oils and blends that contain these compounds re labeled with a warming to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying.

Does that mean you have to put your beloved Grapefruit and Bergamot away for the summer? NO WAY! Just apply to areas that won't be exposed to the sun for at least 24 hours (basically under your clothes). And you can always diffuse.

Beach Essentials

Summertime and beach trips are synonymous, and we are ready for all the sunshine and sand. Here's what we're packing in our beach bags this year.

Quick tip - Easily remove all the sand from everyone's feet, legs, and hands with Seedlings Baby Wipes. We keep a pack in every bag for easy sand removal and clean, fresh hands.

NingXia Red Recipes

Daily Red is a thing in our household - everyone gets their NingXia Red every day! And whether we just want to mix thing up a bit or want a healthier alternative to conventional options, these NingXia Red recipes are favorites in our summer rotation.

Superfood Lemonade Popicles

These simple, delicious popsicles are a HUGE hit in our house, and my kids love to help make them. The best part is you can't mess them up. There isn't a specific amount of each ingredient needed, so just pour a little of each item into your mold and go.
Quick Tip - Heading out to the pool, beach or a hike? Simply freeze your NingXia packets overnight, then pack in a plastic bag and enjoy that afternoon as a cool, slushy-like treat.

Anytime NingXia Spritzers

Whether you're pool side, riding in the car or simply lounging on your couch or porch, this spritzer is the perfect companion. But be warned, your kids/friends/husband will want to setal it.
Go Red Electrolyte Replacement

Ditch the artificially flavored and colored electrolyte drinks and whip up your own with this simple recipe. You can also always grab the Lavender Lemonade or Grapefruit Bergamot Vitality Drops for a quick electrolyte boost as well.
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 4 oz NingXia Red
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 1-2 drops Young Living Vitality of choice: Tangerine, Orange, Lime, Citrus Fresh or Grapefruit
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Mix all ingredients in a blender with some ice for one of the most refreshing drinks EVER. You could even do this without a blender - just throw everything in a shaker cup and enjoy.

Summertime Self Care

DIY Summer Glow Serum

Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game-changer. Apply pouring and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed 'Botox in a Bottle,' so you know it's good!) To a 
2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
DIY Vitamin C Facial Toner

Vitamin C and Geranium are a dynamic duo when it comes to brightening the skin. Try out this simple toner as we head into the summer. To a 2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • 1.5 tsp organic Vitamin C powder
  • 5 drops Geranium essential oil
  • 3 tbsp distilled water
  • splash of alcohol-free witch hazel (optional for more oil-prone skin)
    Mix Vitamin C powder into the water until dissolved, then add Geranium and top with a splash of witch hazel (optional). Use morning and evening as desired. Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
Moisturizing Oatmeal Soak

Sun and wind and heat can leave the skin needing a little extra moisture. Give your skin (and your whole self!) some TLC with a long, luxurious soak with these simple but effective ingredients.

Summer Blockbuster Diffuser Blends

Summertime movies on the lawn anyone? These blends are reminiscent of warm nights in the grass watching our favorite movies with our favorite people.

Sweet Magnolias - 4 drops Orange + 3 drops Vanilla + 3 drops Grapefruit + 2 drops Lime
Emily in Paris - 4 drops Jasmine + 3 drops Tangerine + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 2 drops Lime
Yellowstone - 4 drops 
Northern Lights Black Spruce + 3 drops Bergamot + 3 drops Vanilla + 2 drops Clove
Grease - 4 drops Stress Away + 3 drops Neroli or Orange + 4 drops Jasmine
The Sandlot - 5 drops KidPower (or Valor + Vanilla) + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 3 drops Lavender
Mama Mia - 4 drops Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood (or Cedarwood) + 3 drops Lime + 3 drops Lemon + 2 drops Tangerine

We hope you enjoy this Summer Handbook. May your days full of sun and fun!

Citrus Fresh Oil Spotlight - June 2022

Citrus Fresh & Citrus Fresh Vitality
Essential Oil Spotlight

OOTM
Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in June!

Citrus Fresh might be the best citrus oil around. It contains so many favorites - Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon and more. This oil is incredibly versatile and a household staple for sure.


Just a Drop of Citrus Fresh

  • Has an invigorating and uplifting scent
  • Creates a creative environment when used aromatically
  • Cleanses the air from unwanted odors
  • Has cleansing properties for the home and the body
  • Provides antioxidant properties
Citrus Fresh essential oil blend combines cold-pressed oils of Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Tangerine, and Lemon with a touch of sharp Spearmint for a bright and refreshing aroma. This versatile oil is good for everything from cleaning to diffusing to skincare and DIYs.

Background

Citrus oils are cold-pressed from the rind of the corresponding fruit, making them alkaline and full of wonderful aroma and flavor. Because it is composed of citrus oils, Citrus Fresh is a great source of antioxidants and the constituent limonene, which has some wonderful health-supporting properties. This blend is also great for the respiratory and immune systems. Add it to your wellness roller and DIY chest rub, especially if you are out of other favorites.

Note: Citrus Fresh and Citrus Fresh Vitality are the same essential oil.

Citrus Fresh & Emotions

Citrus Fresh might be one of the most overlooked emotional support oils. Because this blend combines multiple citrus oils with a hint of mint, it is a great choice for stimulating the right side of the brain. When we are consumed with worry, stress or suffer from analysis paralysis, the right side of the brain is less active. Inhaling Citrus Fresh, getting calm and quiet, allowing the emotions and processing them can help us move out of that place of stickiness.

Also, because Citrus Fresh contains limonene, it has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical stress, and when we lower that physical stress burden, our emotional benefit as well.

Ingredients
  • Orange essential oil
  • Grapefruit essential oil
  • Mandarin Orange essential oil
  • Tangerine essential oil
  • Lemon essential oil
  • Spearmint essential oil
Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.

  • Monoterpenes - help to support the respiratory system, are responsible for many immune system support properties of essential oils.
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits.
  • Esters - a gentle constituent found in many essential oils, especially citrus oils, that helps to calm both the mind and body.
Product Options

Note: Citrus Fresh and Citrus Fresh Vitality are the same oil.

YL Foaming Hand Soaps - Ditch and Switch June 2022

Ditch & Switch:

Antibacterial Soap for YL Foaming Hand Soaps


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch antibacterial hand soaps for the foaming hand soaps from Young Living.

The foaming hand soaps from Young Living are made with only naturally derived, moisturizing ingredients - such as Vitamin E and aloe - and are infused with premium essential oils, making the effective at cleaning, gentle on the skin and safe for the whole family.


Why we Love YL Hand Soaps

  • Instant foam makes it easy to lather and rinse for a more thorough cleaning
  • Contains moisturizing ingredients like aloe and ginkgo biloba to promote softer, smoother hands
  • Effective and gentle enough for the whole family
  • Formulated with naturally derived, plant-based ingredients
  • Multiple scents available so we can switch with the seasons for fun!
Why Ditch Antibacterial Soaps

When it comes to cleaning our hands (especially post 2020), we want to make sure we are using products that are effective, but that don't damage our health. Turns out that the benefits of using antibacterial hand soap haven't been proven and widespread use of antibacterial soaps even has negative consequences for our health, including contribution got bacterial resistance. Some research shows that this resistance may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of medical treatments, such as antibiotics.

In fact, when it comes to our skin, we actually want some beneficial bacteria there. The same way that we want a healthy mix of bacteria to inhabit the gut, we want to keep the bacteria that normally populate the skin as well. It is a crucial piece to overall health. Without this, your immune system would not be able to properly protect you from infection and disease and your skin would be susceptible to a variety of skin ailments. Washing away all that goodness with antibacterial soaps is actually counterproductive to our health.

In addition, many antibacterial soaps contain triclosan and triclocarban, ingredients of concern that we'd rather avoid altogether. In fact, the EPA considers these ingredients pesticides! Both triclosan and triclocarban are endocrine disruptors - they alter the level of certain hormones in the body and change the way that these hormones work. And we know that healthy, balanced hormones are KEY to so many areas of health! Definitely not something we want in our hand soaps (or anywhere else for that matter).

YL Foaming Hand Soaps vs Conventional Soaps

Have you heard the term "Greenwashing"? Its when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality, what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the 'natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Young Living cleaning and personal care products. No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals here - just the power of plants.

Another big issue with conventional soaps and cleaners is fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren't required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even 'natural fragrance' is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn't mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a a naturally occurring compound that we don't want on our skin). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes the scent of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance, plus these oils have incredible properties of their own.

Product Options

You can wash away the germs without the harsh ingredients and chemicals with the power of plants. No matter which soap you choose, you can't go wrong with the foaming hand soaps from Young Living. Each scent is available as a single bottle or a three pack, which makes switching out all the sinks super easy, and the Thieves and Lushious Lemon scents come in a large refill bottle as well!

Thieves Foaming Hand Soap - Thieves is a household staple when it comes to household cleaning, so the Thieves Foaming Hand Soap is our go-to! This soap is infused with the germ-fighting power of Thieves essential oil, so you get clean, fresh hands without harsh ingredients.

Lushious Lemon Foaming Hand Soap - Popular scented soaps have nothing on this delicious scent! The Lushious Lemon Foaming Hand Soap is a spring and summer favorite - sweet and bright and happy.

Lavender Foaming Hand Soap - This lightly floral soap is perfect for bathrooms and kid sinks. Plus it makes a lovely gift.

Seasonal ScentsChristmas Spirit and Winter Nights are available during the fall and winter months as supplies last. Christmas Spirit is warm and spicy with Cinnamon Bark, Spruce and Orange, while Winter Nights is cool and refreshing with Peppermint and Spruce.

Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by ditching conventional hand soaps for the power of plant-based YL foaming hand soaps!

Master Formula Supplement Spotlight - June 2022

Master Formula

Supplement Spotlight



Master Formula is a daily must have - it is the Young Living equivalent of a multivitamin. This full-spectrum, multi nutrient complex provides premium vitamins, minerals, and food-based nutrients to support general health and well-being. Not only is it an exceptional formula of necessary vitamins and minerals, it includes antioxidants and essential oils that further increase the absorption of all those wonderfully good things.


Just a Drop of Master Formula

  • Naturally supports general health and well-being for the body
  • Contains gut flora-supporting prebiotics (SO important for gut health and for absorption of all the vitamins and minerals Master Formula contains)
  • Ingredients help neutralize free radicals in the body
  • Includes antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other food-based nutriment
  • Packaged sachets are convenient to take your vitamins on the go
  • NO synthetic ingredients. NO artificial colorings. NO unnecessary fillers. AND you can bet that every ingredient used is of the highest quality.
When it comes to conventional vitamins and supplements, it is incredibly difficult to find options that aren't filled with unnecessary colorings, fillers, and binders. Sadly, these ingredients are almost always synthetic, wreaking havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice) and gut disruption. And none of us wanted that for ourselves or our families. Especially when we are trying to do something good, like take a multivitamin.

Background

Sadly, our current foods (even the healthiest, homegrown options) lack a lot of the vitamins and minerals that thy used to contain. Whether a result of conventional farming practices, long delays in shipment or a deleting of nutrients in the soil, we simply aren't getting quite enough from food alone, which is why a high quality multivitamin is essential. In fact, it is one of the most prescribed over the counter supplement in the US.

Young living also engineered a wonderful delivery system for this multi nutrient complex to improve bioavailability of all these incredible ingredients. Its is called Synergistic Suspension Isolation process (SSI). The ingredients are delivered in three distinct delivery forms that are easy for the body to assimilate. Just one more reason why Young Living supplements are superior to any others.

Key Ingredients

  • Turmeric root oil - Turmeric root is well known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti tumor, and anti-aging properties.
  • Vitamin A, D, E and K2 - all essential vitamins for bone, teeth, and heart health.
  • Cardamon, Clove, and Ginger essential oils - antioxidants that support digestion, health and vitality.

How to Use Master Formula

  • Take 1 packet (1 liquid capsule, 1 caplet, 2 capsules) daily with water
  • May also be taken with 1-2 oz NingXia Red
For more on Master Formula and other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

Companion Products

Join us this month and beyond as we focus on getting all our nutrients from a high-quality multivitamin - a cornerstone of good health.

Lime Oil Spotlight - May 2022

Lime
Essential Oil Spotlight

OOTM
Lime essential oil has a fresh, crisp aroma that uplifts the senses and brightens any space. This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support!

Just a Drop of Lime

  • Has an bright, sharp, green, citrus aroma
  • Adds a fruity, topical scent to bath and body care products
  • Uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and postivity
  • Neutralizes unwanted odors, and purifies the air when diffused
  • Is a great addition to household cleaning solutions
  • Helps provide general wellness support when taken internally
  • Contains antioxidants and limonene
Background

Citrus aurantifolia, also known as Mexican or key lime, is a shrub-like evergreen tree native to tropical Southeast Asia. It produces smaller, mora aromatic fruit than the related Citrus xlatifolia, or Persian lime, which is more commonly available in the United States as a culinary fruit.

Lime essential oil is unique in that it is 100% bioflavonoid. Not only are bioflavonoids impressive in and of themselves, but they also help maximize the benefits of Vitamin C by inhibiting its breakdown in the body. This means that Lime essential oil not only supports the immune system, it also stimulates the detox pathways, helping to clear the body of toxins and unwanted waste. Lime also helps with the absorption of Vitamin C, make it a versatile oil and household staple.

Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties.

  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Gamma-terpinene - a potent antioxidant, Chinese medicine believes that this constituent may halt the advance of unwelcome microbes, reducing the risk of colds and 'flu-like symptoms.'
  • Beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown beta-pinene to support the body through inflammation, to help calm the mind and see the body from the 'fight or flight' response
Lime & Emotions

Lime, like other essential oil, is a wonderful tool for emotional support! Citrus oils evoke the sense of warm, sunny, carefree days which are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. One major reason for this is because citrus oils contain the constituent Limonene, a compound that is a potent free radical scavenger. Free radials cause oxidative stress and damage to the body at a cellular level, therefore affecting every body system. Less oxidative stress from free radicals is a key for less negative emotions.

Limonene is wonderful for boosting the mood and may increase the amount of calming neurotransmitter in the brain. When we are feeling worried, stressed or indecisive we have a difficult time accessing the right side of our brains, and citrus oils are a great tool! Citrus oils are stimulating to the right side of the brain and can help us work through these emotional blocks.

Emotionally, Lime is linked to feeling unmotivated. Apply a couple of drops of Lime over your lungs to help get some motivation going and promote feelings of clarity, harmony, motivation, and positivity.

DIY Bath Soap for Kids - May 2022

DIY Bath Soap for Kids

Ready for a fun DIY? We've go you covered!

Here's an easy, rainy day craft to do this summer or anytime your kids need a fun activity! Make your own soap and get a prize at bath time!

DIY Bath Soap for Kids
Recipe by Katie Weber

  • Molds to make the soap (plastic cups work too)
  • Cooking spray or coconut oil
  • Pure solid glycerin soap (found in cubes at any craft store)
  • Essential oils (its fun to let kids choose their favorites)
  • Natural food coloring or soap dye (craft stores)
  • Small plastic toys
Step 1 - Coat the inside of your molds/cups with oil or cooking spray.

Step 2 - This step is for adults because it involves hot liquids. Melt soap by placing cubes of soap in a measuring cup and microwave for 30 seconds - continue in 15 second intervals until the soap is melted.

Step 3 - Add in a few drops of food coloring/soap dye to reach your desired color. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4 - Add 6-8 drops of your essential of choice. For bath time we love LavenderSleepyIzeStressAway, and Peace & Calming.

Step 5 - Carefully fill mold about 1/3 of the way full with the hot soap. Let cool for 20 minutes, and then place the small plastic toy on top of the mostly hardened soap.

Step 6 - Repeat Steps 2-4 to melt and color the remaining soap. Pour another layer of soap into the mold to cover the plastic toy.

Step 7 - Let cool for 2+ hours. Once completely cooled, turn the mold upside down and pop the soap out.
