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

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. My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
Lavender AT A Glance
- Has a fresh, floral aroma that pairs well with many other oils
- Can help cleanse and soothe minor skin irritations
- Can be soothing to the skin after a day in the sun
- May reduce the appearance of blemishes
- Support aging skin
- Cams and relaxes the mind and body
- Soothes seasonal respiratory needs
Background
- Fear and Abandonment, being left alone. By rubbing Lavender over the abdomen and using the mantra "I embrace all life's experiences" can help us be open to self-reliance and our contentment to all things. The opposite of abandonment is not being fully self-reliant, but being connected to everything working together for our good.
- Fear of Criticism. This one is huge, especially if you are in a line of work where you put yourself out there often (or if you have a high-maintenance toddler too!) Using Lavender as perfume while paring it with mantras and unconditional love for ourselves can be a great practice for developing self confidence.
- Fear of New Things, fear of moving forward. Sometimes there are big transitions in life and sometimes it seems scary to open ourselves up to change. Lavender has a beautiful way of calming the central nervous system to help us be more open to change and gaining positive momentum.
Daily Habits with Lavender
- Unwind in the evening with a calming, Lavender-infused neck or back massage. Feeling tense? Add a little Peppermint and Frankincense.
- Use Lavender as a part of a bedtime routine by rubbing it on the bottoms of your feet and diffusing it next to your bed.
- Make a relaxing Lavender eye pillow (find the details here)
- Rub Lavender and coconut oil on the skin after time in the sun or make an after-sun spray or balm.
- 1/4 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.
- Add 10 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt to a bath to create a relaxing environment. We also love adding Peace & Calming or Frankincense to the mix.
- Use Lavender seasonally to support the airways when air quality is less than ideal.
- Seasons Change Roller Blend: 15 drops each Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Copaiba then fill it with carrier oil. Roll over the chest, wrists, or just below the nostrils.
- Add 5 drops each Lavender and Copiaba to 1 cup fine grain sea salt and dilute with 8-12 oz distilled water to make a DIY nasal rinse solution.
- Use a drop of Lavender Vitality under the tongue or swiped on the inside of the cheek.
DIFFUSE
Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of Lavender this month!

PEPPERMINT
April's Oil of the Month
Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.
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 April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.
Peppermint AT A GLANCE:
- Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
- Produces a focused environment when diffused
- Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
- Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled
Key Constituents
- Menthol
- Menthone
- Menthofuran
- 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
- Isomenthone
- Neomenthol
- Menthyl acetate
PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS
Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness. When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!
PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:
- Peppermint is one of the key essential oils used in the Raindrop massage technique and is also compliant of the oil blends used in this technique.
- Raindrop Roll-on:
- 10 drops each: Oregano, Basil, Marjoram, Cypress, Thyme, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Aroma Siez
- 1-2 pumps Ortho Ease (or V-6)
- Fill the rest with a carrier oil, like Young LIving's V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex.
- Apply over the lymph nodes, along the spine, on the bottom of the feed as needed. Use frequently and consistently!
- Raindrop Detox Bath
- 6 cups Epsom Salts
- 10 drops each: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress, Peppermint, White Angelica, Aroma Siez
- Combine Epsom salts and essential oils in a glass jar and mix well. When you are ready for a soak, add 1-2 cups of the mixture to a warm bath, and relax for at leas 30 minutes.
DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:
- Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
- Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
- Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
- Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
- Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
- Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
- 10 drops Peppermint
- 10 drops PanAway
- 10 drops Copaiba
- 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
- Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
- Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
- Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
- 10 drops Peppermint
- 10 drops Lemon
- 10 drops DiGize
- Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!
DIFFUSE:
Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

April's Ditch & Switch
PAIN CREAMS
As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families!
Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options!
For April, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! Say goodbye to all the stinky muscle rubs and grab a tube of Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream!
Here's a quick low-down on the real “F word” - 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 naturally occurring compound that we don’t want on our skin!). So the 'fragrance' listed in those muscle rubs could be just about anything... and we don't want to rub that all over our skin, especially when we need some relief!
Enter Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when pair with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Rub Balm! Pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain really! Just a dab of the pain cream, rub in well and roll on your Deep Relief a few minutes later and you're good to go!
The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen oil and Peppermint oil with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, a natural method found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect. This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Free from fragrance, petrolatum and other chemicals
- Plant-based formula featuring methyl salicylate from Wintergreen essential oil and menthol from Peppermint essential oil
- Actually supports the muscles and tissues beneath the skin
- Has a lovely cooling effect
- Contains aloe vera and isn't drying to the skin
TO USE
To use, simply apply to the affected area up to three or four times a day. If you need a little extra, alternate with Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and/or Deep Relief Roll-on!Join us this month as we make this simple swap that will impact your health and wellness routine!
