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

SulfurZyme

Supplement Spotlight

What is SulfurZyme?

Sulfurzyme is a unique combination of MSM ( the protein-building compound found in breast milk, fresh fruits and vegetables) and NingXia wolfberry. Together, they create a new concept in balancing the immune system and supporting almost every major function of the body. MSM has the ability to equalize water inside the cells, which is. considerable benefit for those needing join support.

- excerpt from the Essential Oil Desk Reference, Life Science.

If you have skin, hair, nails, or joints (and we hope you do), you are likely not getting enough of this compound. We and brittle nails, hair that doesn't grow or isn't healthy, joints that are painful, and skin issues can all be giant billboard signs telling you that you need more nutrition in this area. Skin that is ultra sensitive to the topical use of oils can be another telltale sign. This one supplement (capsules or powder) can do so much to help you benefit from everything else you are doing with our oils to increase your health.

1. Helps treat Arthritis Symptoms - As a supplement, its common to pair MSM with glucosamine and other joint supporting ingredients, like chondroitin, in a single formula. Controlling inflammation, and providing sulfur are conventional methods of supporting joints and assisting those suffering from Osteoarthritis conditions. Arthritis Research UK alone references several MSM trials for osteoarthritis.
2. Makes Skin Healthier - Hair, skin, and nail cells all contain large amounts of keratin, which contains sulfur and needs it to stay strong. Boosting keratin production helps you fight back int he battle against aging, protects you against wrinkles, stretch marks, and sunburns and helps the skin heal faster.
3. Eases Menstrual Cycle Pain - Menstrual pain is usually caused by the swelling of the Fallopian tubes, the ovaries or the womb as it prepares itself to house an egg. Cramps can cooer either while the lining is constructed or while it is falling away. MSM can reduce the swelling and soothe the pain caused by the inflammation.
4. Helps Treats IBD - There are studies that prove MSM is an effective treatment against certain inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and Colitis.
5. Improves the Immune System - MSM helps reduce swelling and sooth inflammations. Oxidative stress can lead to pain and discomfort and can lead to the progression of other diseases. That sulfur in MSM helps fortify the muscle and soothe the stress on the joints leading to better muscular function all around. It also contains antioxidants that help tackle the free radicals that damage you immune system.

Mineral Sunscreen

June Ditch & Switch

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 beach bags this month and switch out convention chemical sunscreens for Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen. This switch is a simple one that can have a huge impact on your health and the health of your family.

• Oxybenzone - (sometimes called benzophenone-3) is one of the most commonly-used sunscreen chemicals, it is linked to endocrine disruption, organ system toxicity, contact allergies, and photoallergies, meaning exposure to light is required to generate an allergic response. In fact, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) recommends avoiding oxybenzone because of concerns that this ingredient may disrupt hormones and cause allergic skin reactions. Oxybenzone is also harmful to aquatic life, in 2018 Hawaii banned it to protect coral reefs.
• Octinoxate - commonly used UV filter that protects from UVB rays, but not UVA rays. It may be listed as OMC, methoxy-cinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxy-cinnamate and is lined to endocrine disruption as well as reproductive toxicity. Researchers have detected octinoxate in breast milk, urine, and blood. Like oxybenzone, this ingredient was targeted in Hawaii's ban, as it harms coral reefs.
• Homosalate - a common ingredient that absorbs only UVB rays to prevent direct skin exposure. Homosalate is linked to hormone disruption and may also enhance the absorption and penetration of pesticides, including bug sprays, as well as other harmful ingredients found within sunscreen.

• Contains naturally derived plant and mineral based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide, so it's not absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Available in broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection.
• Filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.
• Has a non-greasy, lightweight formula that goes on smoothly (aka no white residue).
• Stays water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes
• Carries an official global certification from the National Skin Cancer Foundation and is recommended for daily use to help prevent skin cancer.
• It is safe for ALL skin types and won't clog pores.
• It is reef safe! An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning ingredients that harm coral reefs.

• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays
• SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB rays
  
• SPF 100 blocks 99% of UVB rays

• Wash and prime your face, then apply the SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen all over your face and rub it gently but completely. You may find it helpful to lightly set the sunscreen with a dusting of Diamond Dust before applying the rest of your makeup.
• Apply the rest of your Savvy Minerals as usual. Or, skip the full face look and tint your sunscreen with your Savvy Foundation. Quick and easy for summer days!

Mineral Essence

Supplement Spotlight

According to the two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency".

And just like so many other areas of our health, we can achieve our goals with supplementation. Mineral Essence is a balanced, full-spectrum ionic mineral complex enhanced with essential oils. It contains sixty ionic minerals including iron, zinc, silicon, fluoride, boron, lithium, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, chloride, selenium, Thallium, calcium, and potassium. Added in is Peppermint, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon essential oils. The addition of essential oils helps the body absorb all these ionic minerals, making them more bioavailable (and useful) to our bodies instead of just passing through.

• IRON - affects around 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women. Pair with Master Formula Master Formula for ideal results.
• SELENIUM - a key component of thyroid health. Pair with Master Formula for ideal results.
