KidScents KidPower

August's Oil Spotlight

Sometimes life can be big and scary for children, but they have the power to face all of life's big and little challenges! Sometimes they just need help discovering that power inside themselves.

KidPower is a unique, everyday blend formulated to help inspire feelings of confidence, courage, and positivity at home, at school, or on the playground...

But it's not just for kids! This blend is also amazing for adults and makes a wonderful perfume.

KidScents Toothpaste

August Ditch & Switch

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 detox our bathroom shelves and switch out conventional kids' toothpaste for Young Living's KidScents Toothpaste.

• Cleaner teeth gently with a natural derived formula created for children
• Formulated with gentle, order-absorbing baking soda for fresher breath
• Fights plaque with brushing
• Removes surface stains gently
• Provides a long lasting, clean, and free feel
• Formulated without fluoride, SLS, synthetic dyes, peroxide, artificial colors, flavors,  preservatives or gluten containing ingredients.

• Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS): SLS promotes the foaming action of conventional toothpastes, but does nothing as far as efficacy. It has been linked to the development of canker sores and can change the way the taste buds work. (This is why everything tastes bad after you brush your teeth!)
• Triclosan: This chemical is common in toothpaste and has been linked to antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruption. Disruption in the endocrine system can create serious effects, especially over time. This is also an active ingredient in hand sanitizers.
• Artificial Dyes and Colors: To make the blue or red stripe that is perfectly placed in the middle of the toothpaste, manufacturers add food coloring, often a petroleum based product. Red 40 , Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are the worst according to a report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Some of these food dyes come with side effects like hyperactivity and hypersensitivity reactions.
• Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol is used as the surfactant in conventional toothpaste to promote foaming. It is found extensively in paints, enamels, and antifreeze. Pharmaceutical grade propylene glycol is common in personal care products. Unfortunately, it can cause skin, lung and eye irrational.
• Titanium Dioxide: White titanium dioxide is added to make toothpaste white, and is entirely unnecessary. It is also found in supplements, added to foods and to make paint white. Titanium dioxide is currently under review as far as its safety.

• Baking Soda
• Xylitol
• Stevia
• Coconut Oil
• Grapefruit Essential Oil
• Spearmint Essential Oil
