Whole Body at a Glance
- Gentle intestinal cleanse with herbs essential oils

Whole Body Cleanse powder brings the latest science and most effective plant-based ingredients to your daily cleansing routine. Infused with premium essential oils and multiple fiber sources to nourish different gut bacteria, it supports a healthy gut and your body’s detoxifying, elimination and cleansing process - all in one gentle, daily formula. Just mix with water, sip, and let your body do the rest.
Background
Detox starts in the liver, but your gut and kidneys also play an important role. That’s why Whole Body Cleanse is designed to support overall gut health and promote gentle, daily detox in the gut-liver and gut-kidney axis.
Unlike typical detox products that focus solely on the liver, Whole Body Cleanse supports the critical third phase of detoxification - elimination. While the liver processes toxins in Phases I and II (see our LiverToneTM Supplement Spotlight), Whole Body Cleanse ensures these toxins exit the body via stool and urine.
Without this final phase, toxins can be reabsorbed, leading to inflammation, sluggish digestion, and a burdened detox system. This formula helps keep things moving, protect essential mineral balance, and maintain a healthy detox rhythm - day in and day out.
Key Ingredients
Packed with organic baobab fruit fiber, prickly pear juice powder, and kombucha-fermented green tea, Whole Body Cleanse promotes regularity, supports reduced water retention, and nourishes a healthy gut microbiome. Combined with antioxidant-rich ingredients and fiber-bound polyphenols, it helps maintain optimal gut function and overall metabolic health.
- Polyphenol fiber mix - Delivers soluble and insoluble fibers from apples, carrots, blueberries, cranberries, and spinach to nourish a diverse gut microbiome; Promotes regularity with insoluble fiber; Acts as a prebiotic to support optimal gut health with soluble fiber and polyphenols; Supports healthy blood sugar levels.
- Prickly pear extract - Helps reduce water retention while preserving essential minerals.
- Baobab fruit and green tea kombucha - Provide prebiotic fiber to support gut health; Remain gentler on the GI tract than commonly used selenium
- Ginger, Anise, and Fennel essential oils - Support overall digestive health as well as soothe and comfort digestive discomfort.
- Hint of natural pineapple flavor - Provides a light, refreshing taste that mixes easily with water or pairs well with NingXia Red drinks, Daily Prebiotic Fiber powder, Inner Beauty Collagen, or other Young Living products.
Your gut impacts your overall wellness - from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune defense and detoxification. By addressing the gut-liver axis and supporting daily digestion, Whole Body Cleanse supports healthy cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, appetite regulation, and a trimmer waistline when paired with hydration and a healthy lifestyle. Gentle enough for daily use, vegan, and non-GMO, this formula is ideal for those seeking to feel lighter, brighter, and supported from the inside out. It’s notjust a cleanse - it’s part of your daily ritual for full-body wellness.
How To Use Whole Body Cleanse Powder
Take 1 scoop daily with water, NingXia Red drink, or your beverage of choice.
- Pair with our LiverTone supplement for the daily detox duo your body needs to stay clean.
- Mix with Daily Prebiotic Fiber powder for more intense cleansing support.
Whole Body Cleanse FAQs
Q. What makes Whole Body Cleanse better than other products on the market?
A. Whole Body Cleanse goes beyond basic cleansing supplements. It combines antioxidant-rich soluble and insoluble fibers, such as baobab fruit powder and a polyphenol fiber mix from apples, carrots, blueberries, cranberries, and spinach. It also features prickly pear (Opuntia ficus indica) juice powder, which helps reduce fluid retention and serves as an antioxidant. Green tea kombucha powder provides polyphenols and catechins that promote lipid metabolism. With this powerhouse mix of antioxidants and polyphenols, Whole Body Cleanse supports gut health, regularity, and natural toxin elimination - while being gentle enough for daily use.
Q. Is this replacing a current or retired product? Why was the product reformulated?
A. Whole Body Cleanse is a reformulation of our JuvaPower supplement. It features a broader range of fiber sources and the latest, most effective ingredients for daily detox and healthy bowel movements. It also helps reduce water retention while preserving essential minerals.

With broccoli seed for detox, artichoke leaf for bile flow, and milk thistle for protective antioxidants, it’s your daily dose of liver-loving support. Supporting the liver is essential for health and vitality, and Liver Tone is a great choice for doing that!
Background
Your liver is a multitasking machine with over 500 essential functions, making it one of the most vital and overworked organs in your body. From producing bile and balancing blood sugar to processing toxins and regulating hormones, it plays a central role in maintaining overall wellness.
But modern life - filled with environmental pollutants, dietary stressors, and synthetic hormones - puts extra pressure on this critical organ. As toxins build up from the diet, environmental exposure, illness, and more, the liver becomes sluggish and stressed. When this happens, everything from eczema to digestive upset, irritability, and brain fog can occur*. That’s where LiverTone comes in, supporting your liver’s natural detox process, helping manage oxidative stress, and promoting healthy metabolic and hormonal balance.
*Adapted from the Supplement Field Guide by Dr. Ashley H. Cribb

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
- 1,8-Cineole - Offers respiratory benefits (in low amounts in Tea Tree)

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight
Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen is a must-have in our wellness routine! We get all natural, broad spectrum sun protection that dermatologist-recommended, and the planet gets safe sunscreen that won't damage reefs and ocean life.
If that's not a win, we don't know what is!! Added bonus – this summer staple is lightweight enough to wear under makeup for daily protection if you desire!
Mineral Sunscreen at a Glance
- Non-nano zinc oxide provides safe and powerful SPF 50 sun protection for the whole family
- Clean ingredients and zero skin-damaging chemicals
- Dermatologist tested and cruelty freeNon-greasy, fast-absorbing formula without white residue
- Formulated for all skin types
- Formulated without avobenzone, oxybenzone, retinyl palmitate, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, UV chemical absorbers, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances
- Reef-safe formula will not damage natural coral reefs and wildlife
Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is your summer sunshine BFF. This formula offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, is reef safe, great for children and all skin types, and goes a long way! Made with non-nano zinc oxide, this sunscreen gives you peace of mind that you are choosing the safest sun protection for yourself, your family, and the planet.
Key Ingredients
We love that this product is a base of non-nano zinc oxide, but it is also 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.
- Non-nano Zinc Oxide - provides broad-spectrum sun protection to prevent burns (even on photo-sensitive skin); aids skin healing and recovery after injury
- Helichrysum - a powerful regenerative oil that soothes, moisturizes and helps heal the skin
- Myrrh - an ultimate skincare oil; soothes and moisturizes the skin and help promote natural healing
- Carrot Seed - provides skin moisturizing, protection, and cleansing properties
- Sacred Frankincense - the variety of Frankincense given to Jesus at his birth; a wonderful oil for skin soothing and healing and protection
Why Ditch Conventional Sunscreen
Did you know that up to 75 percent of sunscreens are toxic, hiding many irritating chemicals? All those products whose active ingredients are avobenzone or oxybenzone (or something similar!) may be preventing some sun damage, but they are doing other damage at the same time. They can cause allergies, skin sensitivities, disrupt your hormones, and cause airway irritation.
Plus, most commercial products work by blocking either UVA or UVB rays but not both types. This means that chemical sunscreen manufacturers need to combine several different formulas/solutions into one product to prevent sunburns. The more chemicals that are added to the formula, the higher the chances are for negative reactions, allergies, and hormone damage. And for individuals with more sensitive skin, these sunscreens won't always prevent skin cancer and often cause reactions like hives, swelling and acne.
Let's talk about reefs super quickly. An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all the chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning these chemical ingredients that harm coral reefs!
Just say no, friend. Grab some Mineral Sunscreen. Your skin, your health, the planet, and likely your dermatologist will thank you!
How to Use Mineral Sunscreen
- Apply liberally to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
- Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every 2 hours.
Mineral Sunscreen Hacks
If you need an easy way to apply your mineral sunscreen (hello kiddos!), we highly recommend this simple sunscreen applicator. Simply pour your Mineral Sunscreen into it and apply. Or try one of these simple DIY hacks!
DIY Sunscreen Spray
- An entire tube of YL Mineral Sunscreen
- 1/2 bottle of ClaraDerm Spray
- Continuous spray bottle
Mix the two ingredients well in the spray bottle, then pop the top back on. Easy to use and so good on the skin!
DIY Sunscreen Spray II
Make sure to test for small amounts of time if you have fair skin or are concerned about diluting the sunscreen.
- 1 tube YL Mineral Sunscreen
- 8 oz fractionated coconut oil
- 20 drops Lavender
- 30 drops Carrot Seed
- Continuous spray bottle
Add all ingredients to the bottle, and shake to combine!

Bath & Body Dupes Diffuser Blends
Recreate the inviting and beloved aromas of Bath and Body Works in your home with these thoughtfully crafted diffuser blends.
Using Young Living essential oils, each blend captures the essence of the most iconic Bath and Body Works fragrances, allowing you to enjoy these popular scents in a natural, customizable way. Here are six diffuser blends inspired by some of the most cherished Bath and Body Works scents.
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.
To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.
Happy diffusing!!

All Things Allergies
From sniffles and sneezes to unhappy skin, allergies of any kind can leave you feeling pretty uncomfortable. Luckily there are a lot of things you can do to help soothe and support your body when these things hit! Here is everything you need to know about all things allergies!
General FavoritesThese oils and products are our mainstays when it comes to soothing the body and creating comfort when allergies hit. Grab a few and build your support cabinet!
For the oils, you can diffuse them alone or in any combination (see below for blend ideas!), make them into a roller, or even use them as dietary supplements as desired.
This oil blend is specially formulated with a tried-and-true trio of three core oils - Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint - our go-tos when the seasons (and air quality!) change! But it gets better. Season Essentials blend is further enhanced with the properties of Goldenrod and Eucalyptus Blue essential oils so that you can embrace the changing seasons with open arms!
This calming essential oil soothes and comforts the respiratory system when the pollen starts flying, and it also helps soothe and comfort the skin when it is feeling angry and irritated! Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently.
Lemon is a wonderful natural mucolytic, making it a great choice for respiratory support! Cleansing and purifying, this citrus oil also supports the immune system, so you get added benefits when using it for respiratory needs.
This bright, crisp oil is a literal breath of fresh air. Pair it with Lemon and Peppermint for our seasonal LLP blend when the pollen starts flying or something starts blooming and you need some TLC with LLP!
This skin-loving oil is a mainstay in our beauty routines because it is so wonderful for your skin! When things start feeling irritated, grab your Frank. Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently. This is also a great oil to apply and diffuse for respiratory needs!
R.C. stands for "respiratory congestion." This oil is a blend containing: Spruce, Cyprus, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. globulus, E. radiata, and E. citriodora). This oil opens up the chest and is wonderful to diffuse with lemon as well to work up anything that is building up in the body.
This gentle, soothing blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C. is prediluted and perfect for little ones age two and older. As the name suggests, this blend is perfect for soothing sniffles and respiratory needs!
Meet your new all-purpose, skin-loving ointment. Rose Ointment seals moisture into skin to deeply hydrate and soothe and is formulated for sensitive skin. Use this as your base for applying oils to skin in need. It's also perfect for lips, cuticles, elbows, knees, and anywhere you have dry or irritated skin!
This zinc oxide based cream is a must-have for angry, irritated skin. Think about it… diaper rash is a painful skin condition, so we can use this zinc oxide and gentle, soothing essential oil combination to comfort skin that is sensitive, irritated, or reactive.
Surviving Spring BloomsWhen the flowers start blooming, the pollen starts flying, and many of us start sniffling! If you want to enjoy the beauty of spring without hiding indoors until the worst is behind you, we have you covered.
- Season Essentials oil blend - This incredible blend is labeled for use as a dietary supplement, for diffusing and for topical application, so you can use it however you choose! Add Season Essentials to an empty capsule or a teaspoon of honey and take it internally, make a roller to apply liberally and frequently, and diffuse it!
- Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint (LLP) - this trio is THE springtime blend! Diffuse it, roll it on your chest, neck and even just inside the nostrils to help combat the pollen. Keep it on and around you 24/7! If you need a little more, add Copaiba or Tea Tree to the mix.
- Lavender Vitality - a Lavender swipe on the inside of the cheek or a drop under your tongue a few times a day is another great springtime habit. Lavender is nature's antihistamine!
- AllerZyme capsules - this enzyme complex is ideal for individuals with dietary sensitivities, so it can also help with seasonal needs!
- Use the DIY Nasal Salts, Sinus Support Steam, Changing Seasons Oral Spray and capsules listed below! Also the Immune Boost Bath is amazing.

April Fool's Day Diffuser Blends
Embrace the playful spirit of April Fools with these unique diffuser blends. Each recipe is crafted to capture the fun and light-heartedness of this whimsical day. Enjoy the delightful aromas and engage in a little trickery!
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.
To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

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 4 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
- Organic castor oil
- 25 drops Nutmeg

90s Heartthrobs Diffuser Blends
Transport yourself back to the 90's with these fun and nostalgic diffuser blends inspired by iconic 90's heartthrobs.
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.
To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.
Happy diffusing!!
