Collagen Peptide Serum Spotlight - July 2025

Collagen Peptide Serum Spotlight

Look young, feel young, and live young with this amazing new skin serum. This age-defying serum visibly firms, brightens, and smooths with natural botanicals from farms that support reforestation and orchid conservation. The Collagen Peptide Serum is a win for everyone!

Note: This product is only available for convention attendees in the month of July. It will be available to all members at a later date - stay tuned!

Collagen Peptide Serum at a Glance

  • Sea fennel extract offers the benefits of retinol without the irritation and dryness, supporting healthy collagen production and visible elasticity, while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Vegan collagen peptides work to restore a visible firmness to skin and visibly diminish fine lines and wrinkles
  • Patents-pending DeepSpectra technology captures boswellic acids from Frankincense, which help reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone.
  • Antioxidants help shield from environmental stressors to make the skin appear brighter and more supple
  • Hydrating Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang Ylang blend may promote the appearance of youthful-looking skin.
Say hello to beauty sleep in a tube with this incredible, vegan collagen serum! Powered by vegan collagen peptides, sea fennel extract, and frankincense-derived boswellic acids exclusively from DeepSpectra technology, this skin loving serum is a nature-based alternative to synthetic retinol with all the benefits minus the dryness, sensitization, and flaking.

Background

By age 40, most of us have lost 20% of the collagen in our skin. By age 50, that increases to 30%. When we lose collagen faster than we can rebuild, our skin takes a toll (even despite a healthy lifestyle and diet!). 

This is often when women reach for retinol – it has great benefits! But it is also infamous for redness, flaking ,irritation, and sun sensitivity.

What if we could get the same… or even better results than retinal but with clean ingredients? We can age gracefully and gorgeously!

With this Collagen Peptide Serum you can get the retinol results without all the harsh chemicals – and damage to the environment! This hydrating facial serum visibly reduces the look of fine lines and promotes a firmer appearance, without irritation or harsh chemicals. It’s packed with antioxidants that help skin appear brighter and more supple. Sustainably sourced Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang essential oils add skin-loving benefits while supporting reforestation efforts in Hawaii and native orchid conservation in Ecuador - because both you and the earth deserve to age beautifully.

Key Ingredients

  • Collagen amino acids sustainably derived from microalgae make this product completely plant-based. When combined with Haematococcus pluvialis extract, this powerful duo helps stimulate natural collagen production, support a healthy skin barrier, restore a visible firmness, and hydrate the skin. Vegan collagen peptides are specifically designed to mimic or support the body’s own collagen production, without using any animal sources. While true collagen only comes from animals, vegan collagen peptides are essentially bioactive peptides + nutrients that stimulate collagen synthesis and protect existing collagen and when upcycled, they are made more sustainably. Read more about vegan collagen peptides and how incredible they are in the clinical study!
Hydrating Botanicals
A blend of watermelon, lentil, and apple extracts works alongside sunflower seed oil, sodium hyaluronate, and squalane to plump and hydrate the skin. Together, these botanicals provide an instant boost of plumping hydration that lasts up to 24 hours.

  • Watermelon rind is one of nature’s few materials to contain citrulline, which supports filaggrin, a key part of the skin’s natural moisturizing complex.
  • Lentil extract is high in vitamin B5 and trisaccharides, which help retain moisture.
  • Apple extract provides polysaccharides, sodium lactate, and sodium PCA for long-lasting hydration.
  • Sea fennel extract naturally supports collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is nature’s answer to retinol! All the benefits (and more) – enhances skin brightness and reduces crows feet wrinkles even better than retinol. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E this extract is gentle enough for sensitive skin – no flaking or dryness that retinol can cause. Sustainably sourced, sea fennel has a much lower environmental impact than conventional options.
  • Boswellic acids from Frankincense help reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone. Boswellic acid is extracted via Deep Spectra technology to extract even more beneficial compounds than other methods. It also uses all parts of the plant so as to reduce environmental impact.
  • Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang Ylang essential oils hydrate and promote youthful skin.
How To Use Collagen Peptide Serum

With clean hands, gently press 1 dropper of this hydrating collagen and sea fennel serum into clean, dry skin morning and night. Avoid the eye area.

Who needs harmful chemicals, open flames, and messy wax when you’ve got clean home fragrance made from natural essential oil blends that do more, last longer, and smell like a dream? It just makes scents!

 Cozy Chai Ingredients
  • Clove essential oil - The highest valued antioxidant known, clove is rich in eugenol and prized for its powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Traditionally used to soothe toothaches and oral discomfort, it remains a go-to for immune support and relieving muscular tension.
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil - High in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, cinnamon is revered for its warming, invigorating aroma and potent antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. Long cherished in traditional medicine, it supports immune health, eases digestive discomfort, and adds a comforting depth to aromatherapy blends.
  • Cardamom essential oil - Abundant in 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, Cardamom is known for its gentle, uplifting scent and its ability to ease respiratory congestion and digestive upset. With its sweet, spicy notes and calming effect on the nervous system, cardamom is a favorite in blends that promote clarity and emotional balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.
 Orange Creamsicle Ingredients
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Bergamot - The crisp, citrusy aroma of Bergamot is uplifting and harmonizing, making it a popular choice for diffusing. Bergamot has a crisp, woodsy, citrus aroma that is so uplifting to our moods. In fact, it has been studied for its properties to lower cortisol (stress hormone) and to lower the body's sympathetic nervous response (fight/flight/freeze), making this a wonderful oil for emotional support!
  • Vanilla - Vanilla is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically! Vanilla lifts the spirits and helps with stress relief and calming the mind. It also has powerful antioxidant properties that support the immune system and body's natural response to stress and inflammation.
  • When used together these ingredients are a powerful emotional tool, especially during a season where we may be busier or have more on our plates than normal!
 Pink Champagne Ingredients
  • Grapefruit - This bright, crisp citrus oil is wonderful for emotional support, uplifting the spirits, and adding a little zest to this blend. It is also wonderful for immune support since it is high in limonene.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Lavender - Lavender is synonymous with calming and relaxing, and it adds an herbaceous aroma to this slightly sweet mix! Lavender pairs well with both citrus and Ylang ylang, and it soothes the mind and body alike.
  • Ylang ylang - Ylang Ylang has a sweet, romantic aroma that makes a lovely addition to perfume rollers and diffuser blends. This floral, balancing oil promotes openness and connection, encourages confidence, and inspires romance. Ylang ylang also has wonderful moisturizing properties and is well known for reducing stress.
  • Camphor - This oil is wonderful for opening the airways, and it lends a slightly earthy, crisp aroma to this delicious blend.
  • Cistus - Cistus is a crisp, slightly spicy oil that adds a bit of bubble to this blend. It is a wonderful immune support tool! It is cleansing and purifying.
 Seaside Ingredients
  • Neroli - Neroli has a fresh, uplifting floral aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products. Steam distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, this oil smells like heaven and is a popular choice for perfume! Applied topically, it also promotes the appearance of youthful, radiant skin and helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.

This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support! This zesty citrus oil uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and positivity and also has high levels of antioxidants and limonene, which supports the immune system!
  • Cypress - Cypress is one of our favorite conifer oils - deep, woodsy and full of incredible health benefits. Cypress is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. This oil also supports healthy circulation and heart health and is a popular choice for improving lymphatic flow.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.
 Fresh Start Diffuser
This beautiful diffuser is streamlined and elegant and will be the perfect companion to any space! Diffusing is a wonderful health habit!

Tea Tree Spotlight - June 2025

Tea Tree Spotlight

There’s something magical about opening a bottle of Tea Tree essential oil. That crisp, camphoraceous aroma? It smells like clean. Like clarity. Like nature’s version of hitting the reset button.

Beloved for its versatility and revered for its purifying powers, Tea Tree is the little bottle you didn’t know you needed - until now.

Tea Tree at a Glance

  • Naturally purifying and cleansing to the home and body
  • Great for blemish-prone skin and oily scalps
  • Fresh, medicinal scent that clears the mind and supports the airways
  • Great to use in DIY cleaners, skincare routines, and first aid kitsHas antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties
  • A must-have for travel or gym bags
Tea Tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is like your reliable best friend - always there when you need a quick fix, especially for skin woes or musty smells. It’s the kind of oil that earns its place in every cabinet: whether it's helping with breakouts, soothing a scratchy scalp, or keeping your yoga mat fresh. Known for its strong antimicrobial powers, it’s our go-to for anything that needs a natural clean - from your face to your feet, and even your countertops.

Background

Tea Tree oil comes from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree, native to Australia. People have used this oil for centuries - crushing the leaves to treat wounds, colds, and infections. It wasn't until the 1920s that the rest of the world caught on, thanks to chemist Arthur Penfold’s research that revealed its remarkable antiseptic properties. Since then, Tea Tree has become a natural wellness staple, praised in both aromatherapy and conventional health circles.

Tea Tree & Skincare

If your skin could talk, it might just ask for Tea Tree. Known for its clarifying and soothing properties, this oil is especially beloved by those with oily or blemish-prone skin. A drop in your facial cleanser or toner can help combat acne-causing bacteria, while its anti-inflammatory properties may calm redness and irritation.

Tea Tree also works wonders on the scalp. Add a few drops to your shampoo to fight dandruff and buildup, or massage it into your scalp with a carrier oil for a deep treatment. For feet? It’s fantastic at keeping things fresh, especially in hot months or gym shoes.

Tea Tree & Emotions

Tea Tree might be best known for its physical benefits, but don’t overlook its emotional side. While it doesn’t smell traditionally “floral” or “relaxing,” this bold, herbaceous oil brings a refreshing clarity that can help sweep away mental fog and emotional clutter.

Energetically, Tea Tree is considered a cleansing oil - not just for the body, but for the mind and spirit too. It’s often used in aromatherapy to support emotional boundaries, making it a powerful ally when you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or weighed down by other people’s energy. Diffusing it during journaling or after a tense conversation can feel like opening a window in a stuffy room - clearing the air, literally and figuratively.

Emotionally, Tea Tree offers strength, resilience, and energetic protection. It can help restore a sense of personal space, especially when you're navigating stress, conflict, or emotional burnout.

Try this calming ritual:
Add 2–3 drops of Tea Tree to a diffuser with Lavender and Frankincense. Breathe deeply, visualize negativity clearing away, and set an intention for grounded strength.

Key Ingredients

  • Terpinen-4-ol - Main active compound, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory
  • Gamma-Terpinene - Supports immune response and has antioxidant effects
  • Alpha-Terpinene - Contributes to antimicrobial activity

Super Vitamin B

 Super B is a B complex supplement that is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting mood, heart health and mental clarity. Our current lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to give them some TLC!

B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function. B vitamins are water soluble so must be replenished daily.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
  • Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
  • Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
  • Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:

  • Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
  • Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
  • Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
  • Consider adding Progessence Plus Serum to your routine.
So much more goodness about this supplement - all the info is on this blog post. You can find more about other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

Eucalyptus Radiata Essential Oil

Like most species of Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Radiata is native to Australia.

In 2011, a study at Heidelberg University found that Eucalyptus Radiata has the second largest abundance of 1,8 console (eucalyptus) after Eucalyptus Globulus. It is this constituent that gives Eucalyptus Radiata its camphor's aroma and incredible respiratory support properties.

Beauty Glow with CBD

Beauty Glow with CBD

Say hello to a skin care powerhouse! This full-spectrum CBD beauty oil is crafted from naturally grown whole hemp and enhanced with exquisite essential oils and Young Living's exclusive DeepSpectra technology. Beauty Glow is a must have in our opinion! This daily serum deeply hydrates, soothes, and beautifies dry skin. Who doesn't want that?!

Beauty Glow at a Glance

  • 600 mg full-spectrum CBD soothes dry, tired skin.
  • Hydrating carrier oils rich in fatty and amino acids lock in moisture for a dewy, healthy-looking glow.
  • Exquisite beauty oils from our farm help reduce the appearance of redness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
  • Chlorophyll contains antioxidant properties that support and soothe skin from environmental stressors
  • Vegetarian and vegan-friendly formula is free of gluten, corn, sesame, and soy
This incredible skincare serum combines natural ingredients for results you can actually see! Did you know that hemp's history dates back to 8,000 BC, with some claiming Cleopatra herself used hemp oil in her skin care routine?! This powerhouse ingredient paired with essential oils and chlorophyll makes a one of a kind skin oil that you will love! 

Background

Most hemp farmers grow identical plants year after year by taking cuttings from the same plant, genetically engineering them, and using pesticides to control hormones and maximize CBD isolate. We do things differently. Our exclusive population hemp is farm-grown, organic, non-GMO seeds, allowing each plant to evolve naturally. This results in a diverse range of over 150 biological compounds, offering a broader spectrum of benefits for your skin and the full power of the hemp plant.

Your purchase is a vote for a healthier planet!

Choosing Young Living's CBD products means supporting the company's Seed to Seal commitment for a healthier planet. Through regenerative farming, Young Living farms act as massive carbon banks, water-filtration systems, and habitats for native pollinators. This way, agriculture becomes a form of conservation - and your purchase helps create change.

Key Ingredients

The essential oils used in combination with CBD promote an even-looking skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles. They also leave your skin refreshed and glowing while providing terpenes to complement the cannabinoid profile of the whole hemp extract.

  • Full-spectrum population CBD - Think of your skin as a garden with good plants and weeds. Our full-spectrum CBD, with 150+ biological compounds, binds to receptor sites in your skin's microbiome to “weed” out the bad and nurture a healthy-looking glow. Naturally grown without pesticides, it's more bioavailable for more benefits with every use.
  • DeepSpectra Lavender Melissa extract - Delivering even more plant power to your skin, our patents- pending DeepSpectra technology captures key compounds you won't find with other methods. Lavender Melissa extract helps soothe fatigued skin while promoting a more even-looking skin tone.
  • Incan Melissa essential oil - This oil from the exclusive Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador soothes tired skin and reduces the appearance of redness and uneven skin tone.
  • Ecuadorian Oregano essential oil - This oil from the exclusive Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador promotes clear, healthy-looking skin; hydrates for a bright, healthy-looking glow; and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
  • Ylang Ylang essential oil - This oil from the exclusive Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador helps to soothe skin and promotes an even-looking skin tone. It also helps manage oily skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
  • Chlorophyll - This naturally occurring compound gives our full-spectrum CBD oil its darker hue and delivers antioxidant properties that support and soothe skin from environmental stressors. While many hemp manufacturers filter out chlorophyll, we keep it intact to preserve its benefits.
  • Carrier oil base - The lightweight blend of grapeseed, hemp seed, black seed, avocado, and coconut oils absorbs quickly for a non-greasy finish. Avocado oil, an underrated skin care superstar, is naturally rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. Together, these carrier oils moisturize and soften skin for a youthful-looking glow.
Full Ingredient List

Cannabis sativa seed oil, Nigella sativa seed oil, Vitis vinifera (Grape) seed oil, Persea gratissima (Avocado) oil, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) flower oil, Cannabis sativa flower/ leaf/stalk/stem extract, Plectranthus amboinicus (Ecuadorian Oregano) leaf/steam oi, Lippia alba (Incan Melissa) leaf/ steam oil, Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) oi, Melissa officinalis (Melissa) leaf extract, Vanilla planifolia fruit extract

Suggested Usage

  • For face and neck -  Warm 1 dropper of oil in clean palms, then press gently into clean, dry skin on your face and neck. Massage in upward motions. Use morning or night.
  • For body - Add 1–2 droppers of oil to body lotion before applying to boost hydration and radiance.
  • Easily customize your experience by adding desired essential oils to the Beauty Glow product in your hands before application.
Beauty Glow FAQS

How is Beauty Glow different from other beauty oils?
  • Beauty Glow is a newly formulated product that offers a broader spectrum of cannabinoids and is designed to provide a more mindful approach to beauty. Beauty Glow incorporates full-spectrum hemp extract with 600 mg of CBD, which includes a wider range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds naturally found in the hemp plant. This allows for the entourage effect, enhancing the overall efficacy of the product.
  • Additionally, Beauty Glow leverages DeepSpectra technology to harness the full potential of the hemp plant and deliver a more potent, bioavailable formula. We made this change to create a more complete and effective product, drawing from multiple parts of the hemp plant and using strong genetics from population hemp plants grown from non-feminized seeds, rather than clonal hemp plants. This approach ensures a rich, diverse cannabinoid profile, enhancing the synergy of the plant's natural compounds and promoting healthy-looking skin.
  • Another key feature of Beauty Glow is the inclusion of powerful essential oils sourced directly from our farms. These oils, known for their potency, complement the hemp extract and work synergistically to nourish and beautify the skin. Our commitment to sourcing both hemp and essential oils from our own farms, and Seed to Seal partner farms, ensures that every product is made with the highest-quality ingredients and reflects our dedication to sustainability and transparency.
Does Beauty Glow contain THC?
  • Yes, our full-spectrum CBD Beauty Glow product contains less than 0.3% THC, verified through testing before being sold.
  • We use a full-spectrum hemp extract to capture the full range of cannabinoids naturally present in the plant, including trace amounts of THC. This allows the compounds to work together synergistically, enhancing the overall benefits through the “entourage effect.”

DiGize Vitality Essential Blend

DiGize is another oil to always have on hand. It is our go-to for digestive support anytime we need it - both daily and acutely. Make sure to grab this one before you head out to all your summer gatherings!

Add DiGize to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier and massage it over the abdomen to soothe digestive needs.

Make a ‘Tummy' roller to apply over the stomach as needed for digestive support. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 15 drops DiGize
  • 10 drops each Lemon & Peppermint (optional)
  • Carrier of choice
Apply DiGize diluted or in a roller over the stomach and liver to support release of toxic emotions. This works best when paired with strong affirmations and/or prayer.
 
When traveling, inhale DiGize directly from the bottle for soothing comfort. Or pair it with Peppermint in a travel diffuser.

DiGize Vitality is the exact same oil as DiGize essential oil blend, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use the DiGize Vitality the same way you would DiGize essential oil blend - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

Support your health from the inside out with daily DiGize capsules. Add 1-2 drops DiGize Vitality to a vegetarian capsule and top off with a carrier oil (olive oil or V6).

Add a drop or two of DiGize Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a digestive support twist.

Whenever you need some extra digestive health, add a drop of DiGize Vitality and a drop of Lemon Vitality (optional) to a large glass of water or to a vegetarian capsule for relief.

See the DiGize Spotlight for TONS of ways to use this oil!

Abundance Oil Spotlight - Oct 2024

Abundance Spotlight


This rich and spicy oil is designed to help us release fears associated with a poverty mindset. Even when we don't realize it, we have skills, abilities, tools, opportunities, contacts, teachers, and wisdom right at our fingertips. Abundance oil blend (and intentional practices!) can help us to realize this fact and step into those things in front of us! 

Abundance at a Glance

  • Has a warm, spicy aroma that is stimulating and inspiring 
  • Can help enhance the mindset of prosperity and plentitude
  • Is a wonderful addition to your daily gratitude practice. Pair this oil blend with a daily gratitude journal.
  • Pairs well with Harmony, Forgiveness, Joy, Tangerine, Stress Away, Valor and White Angelica essential oils
  • A great addition to the Feelings Collection kit.
Background

Abundance essential oil blend features Orange, Frankincense, Patchouli, Clove, Ginger, Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark, and Black Spruce essential oils, which were used by ancient cultures to attract prosperity and magnify joy and peace. Each oil in this blend was chosen for its unique properties!

Key Ingredients

  • Orange - high in limonene, which is great for the immune system; uplifting and encouraging to the mind and spirit
  • Frankincense - carries historical and biblical significance as a grounding and uplifting aroma
  • Patchouli - grounding and helps connect to the inner self
  • Myrrh - stimulates the limbic system, the seat of memory; a wonderful oil to use to work on stored emotional trauma or negative thoughts
  • Black Spruce - grounding and relaxing and helps to clear the mind.
It is time for us to wake up to the walls we are building between us and freedom because we insist that there is never enough time, money, or us. We choose. We have the same 24 hours anyone else has, our own unique set of gifts that no one else has, and one life to live. Let's not waste a single moment in fear and a spirit of lack.

We can have this spirit of not having enough in our health and wellness as well as in our finances. Always believing that it's not worth it to invest in our health, that we'll never have enough energy, and that it's impossible for us to be "whole" in our health. We are believing falsehoods. We were created for wholeness and our bodies were designed for healing.
As you apply this oil, speak truth over yourself such as: 
  • "I lack nothing."
  • "I have everything I need."
  • "I am enough."
Key Constituents

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

  • Alpha pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Bornyl acetate - may help calm and focus the mind

For the Love of Lavender

Lavender is reminiscent of a wonderful grandmother. Soft and huggable, gentle, smells like flowers, calming, and is the one you want around if you are sad, tired, or need comforting. She has experience and wisdom and seems to be able to fix every problem. She is soft-spoken and makes you feel more rested the moment she's around. And she seems to have that perfect knack with any baby.

Unfortunately, over the years, many "lavender" scented items became filled with synthetics and fillers which actually irritated our airways and lost all of their benefits. People even started giving lavender a bad reputation as being unsafe because of all the synthetic, chemical-laden products that had been used bearing its name. There is more lavender oil sold than grown in the world which doesn't really add up right.

But, Young Living. Young Living began growing and distilling its own lavender to ensure a high quality essential oil, making sure that we have the real thing in our homes. Many Young Living customers have planted and harvested YL Lavender themselves in Idaho and Utah! I mean, who wants a fake grandmother? Little Red Riding Hood can tell you that is NOT a good plan.

Today we use our Young Living Lavender in many similar ways. In our lotions, bath products, sleep roll-ons, diffusers, and on our precious babies. It is a gentle oil with a calming effect on everything from our respiratory systems, to our skin, to our emotions. So when you have a problem and you want something to be comforted, whether it's your irritated nose, your foot, or your baby, remember The Grandmother of all oils and give her a try.

Daily Habits with Lavender

Lavender is such a lovely, versatile oil that there are many ways we can use it on a daily basis - from skincare to relaxation to health to kids!

Add Lavender to your relaxation routine…

  • Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense!
  • Use Lavender as part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
  • Help little ones calm down for bedtime with gentle Lavender massage. Mix 1 tbsp carrier oil with 5 drops Lavender and gently massage legs, arms and back.
  • Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup of magnesium flakes or epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix!
Add Lavender to your wellness routine…

Reach for Lavender to release tension. Head On Roller
  • 20 drops Peppermint, Copaiba, & Lavender, 10 drops Frankincense. 
  • Fill with V-6 carrier or carrier oil of choice and roll over temples, across the forehead, on the back of the neck and shoulders. 
Use Lavender to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal:
  • Seasons Change Roller Blend - 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, & Copaiba, then fill with carrier. Roll over the chest, wrists, just below the nostrils. This also makes a great combination for an epsom salt bath or a diffuser blend!
  • Add 5 drops each Lavender & Copaiba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt or organic salt and mineral solution and mix well. To use, dilute 1 tsp of mixture with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution for use in a netipot
  • Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek. 
Use Lavender to support skin needs…

Make an “Owie” spray or cream (great for kiddos!):
  • 2 tbsp solid coconut oil (for a cream) or fractionated coconut oil (for a spray)
  • 15 drops each Lavender, Frankincense, & Copaiba
  • Optional: 10 drops Tea Tree for purifying needs
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
  • Apply to needed area frequently to support natural healing

  • Apply Lavender diluted with coconut oil to skin after touching something hot.
  • Add Lavender to your moisturizer for oily skin needs or apply it with a cotton ball to blemishes or the t-zone as needed.
  • Make a dry scalp mask with ¼ cup organic avocado oil, 10 drops each Lavender & Tea Tree essential oil. Apply to dry spots of scalp and let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing and washing as usual. Use once a week. 
Rub lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm!
  • ¼ cup solid coconut oil (or liquid carrier for a spray)
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 20 drops Lavender essential oil
  • Optional: 15 drops Tea Tree essential oil for extra red/hot skin
  • Small glass jar or 2 oz glass spray bottle 
Diffuser Blends with Lavender

Lavender's floral aroma is distinctive and unique, yet it mixes well with other fragrances too. Blend Lavender with other florals, and its clean, simple scent will shine. Mix it with spectacular spices or whimsical woods to soften sharp smells. Add a touch of romance to citrus perfumes or a hint of sweetness to herby aromas.

  • Sweet Dreams - 4 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce, 3 drops Tangerine, 3 drops Lavender
  • Sunkissed - 3 drops each Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, & Lavender
  • Coastal Oasis - 3 drops each Lavender, Eucalyptus Radiata, & Lime

Copaiba Spotlight - July 2024

Copaiba Spotlight


Copaiba is one oil you always want to have on hand. Think of this oil like the Fireman of the toolkit - gentle yet strong, ready to get to work soothing things that need to be soothed. From skin care to muscles to gut health, this little bottle can do so much!

Just a Drop of Copaiba

  • Has a calming, earthy aroma that creates a relaxing environment when diffused
  • Promotes the appearance of a youthful, radiant glow when applied topically
  • Can be massaged into fatigued areas after activity
  • Supports overall wellness when taken internally*
  • Has a robust, earthy flavor with notes of honey
  • Copaiba Vitality has a buttery, delicate flavor
  • Pairs well with Peppermint, Spearmint, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, Orange, and Lemon Vitality oils
Copaiba - The Fireman (words by Courtney Critz)

He is ever on the alert, skilled, protective, strong. He goes quickly through the pathways of your cells seeking out the raging flames and pouring on the calming water of his many anti-inflammatory benefits.

Wherever there is "fire" or inflammation in your body, it is a signal of something going on. An arsonist at work (disease, stress) or a drought in your system that needs to be addressed (lack of nutrients). This can also be the result of foods that you are eating such as refined sugar, modern grains, processed dairy, or other foods that don't work well with your body. Over time this compounds until you have fire raging everywhere and you are experiencing pain, digestive issues, skin eruptions, and brain dysfunctions. Eventually this leads to even more serious problems.

People often think that because they don't have digestive problems, they don't have gut inflammation issues. Not at all true. Gut inflammation shows itself as brain fog, pain in joints, emotional instability, and skin eruptions. It's ALL connected.

Eventually, if root issues aren't addressed, your body is spending all of its energy trying to function despite all the fire raging throughout your system. 

Everything is burning and you are so busy dealing with the side effects of the fires, you can't ever get to the actual healing to keep the fires from happening. 

You're taking medications to treat the pain, the meds increase the inflammation as your gut is damaged, thereby increasing the pain, leading to more medication for the pain…see the cycle?

We have to find a different way. 

We have to find alternatives that can help us put out the fires, keep them out, and not do further damage to our systems. Truly quenching them is going to result in lasting relief and recovery. This will mean finding ways to reduce stress, to eat foods that nourish instead of harming us, and repairing the damage that has already been done to our poor guts.

And we need a hero. We need a Fireman.

BACKGROUND

Copaiba essential oil is steam distilled from the gum resin of the Brazilian Copaifera reticulata tree. Native to the Amazon River Basin, these trees can reach 25−40 feet and can live for up to 400 years. Copaiba resin has been used for various purposes throughout the Amazon region since at least the 16th century. It contains a high percentage of the naturally occurring constituent beta-caryophyllene, making it a great choice to add to skin care products or to use for massage. Copaiba Vitality essential oil provides general wellness support when taken internally. Copaiba and Copaiba Vitality are the same essential oil, simply labeled differently.

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

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
