Hey there, oily friends! 👋

If you’re anything like us, your kiddos and furry companions are part of the family. So when it comes to what you put in your home—whether it’s food, cleaners, or essential oils—you want to make sure it’s the safest, purest option out there.

Let’s talk about something we hear all the time:
👉 “Are essential oils safe for my kids and pets?”

The short answer? Yes… when you choose the right oils. And that’s where Young Living shines! ✨

🌱 Purity Matters – No Pesticides, No Herbicides, No Worries

Here’s the thing: not all oils are created equal. Some brands use plants sprayed with pesticides, or they dilute oils with synthetic fillers (yuck!). These chemicals can be harmful—especially to little bodies and tiny paws.

Young Living’s Seed to Seal® promise means:
✅ Plants are grown without herbicides or pesticides.
✅ Oils are distilled gently to preserve nature’s goodness.
✅ Every batch is tested for purity and safety.

That’s why we feel 100% confident using them in our home—for our kids, our pets, and ourselves.

🧸 Safe for Kids – With a Few Tips

Kids, depending on their age, are more sensitive than adults, so we take a gentle approach:
- For the real little ones, dilute oils with a carrier oil (like coconut) before applying to skin.
- Use kid-friendly blends like KidScents® SleepyIze, SniffleEase, and TummyGize.  These are some of Oliver and Owen’s absolute favorites!
- Diffuse oils like Lavender or Gentle Baby for a calming vibe.

💡 Parent Hack: At bedtime, we diffuse SleepyIze, Lavender, or Seedlings Calm — instant cozy snuggle zone. 😴

🐾 Safe for Pets – Yes, Really!

Pets can benefit from oils too, but they also need a gentle touch:
- Use oils in well-ventilated areas so they can walk away if they choose – remember they have stronger senses of smell than us humans!
- Start with tiny amounts and observe their response and if you’re going to apply them directly, apply the oils from the shoulders back or use pet-specific oils like AnimalScents.
- Stick to safe options like Lavender for calming or Purification® to freshen up pet spaces.

💡 Doggy Tip: A drop of Peace and Calming (diluted if you want) on their collar during thunderstorms = game changer.

Note: There is a bunch of misinformation out there about oils and cats.  Treat them jus tlike you would any other furry animal in your home and no, we’re not talking about your Uncle Jim.  But hey, do your own research and never be afraid to contact your vet.
