Nighty-Night

Designed just for the little ones, this KidSafe blend combines a fruity and earthy aroma that encourages calm. Use this blend to encourage all-over relaxation that will help promote a good night’s rest.

Sweet Dreams

Another amazing KidSafe blend, Sweet Dreams was formulated especially to help soothe a troubled mind and emotions. It differs from Nighty-Night in that it’s designed to calm the mind instead of the whole body.

Sweet Slumber

Formulated especially for the little ones who can’t use Lavender, this blend combines Cedarwood and Ho Wood for calming, soothing, and sedating benefits. Even though this blend is KidSafe, it’s a perfect choice for adults as well.

Ho Wood

This oil is distilled from the bark of the Ho Wood tree and has a woody, floral scent. It has a high quantity of calming linalool, making it a great choice when you’re looking for a soothing oil. It also blends well with the other relaxing oils like Lavender and Chamomile.
