Are Essential Oils Safe For Kids? Yes! September’s Simply Earth Box is For Children!
People ask me all the time: are essential oils safe for kids? The answer is yes, but just like when using them with babies, there are some precautions that you have to take. First, you all know that I’m an affiliate for Simply Earth and I was SO excited whenever they told me that this month’s essential oil recipe box was a kid one because I knew it would resonate with you all. I really look forward to receiving these boxes each month, but it was extra fun opening this Simply Earth box to see 4 essential oils that are safe to use around children and so many amazing recipes that are all kid friendly!

I’m going to share more on this month’s Simply Earth box if you keep scrolling, but I wanted to answer the whole “are essential oils safe for kids” question first.
So here we are….are essential oils safe for kids?
They totally are! Here are my biggest tips for using essential oils with kids:
- Make sure that if you are using them with a carrier oil (i.e. sweet almond oil, which comes in your Simply Earth bonus box).
- Diffusing is a really great way to use oils around kids and one of the safest methods, so this is a great starting point.
- Never ever allow them to ingest the oils, remember they are medicinal at the end of the day.
- And lastly, use age-appropriate oils. The ones in this month’s box are all kid-safe.

I’m loving this box so much and especially love how everything is curated and ready to use with my kids. It contains Tangerine, Cypress, Cedarwood and a Bumps & Boo-boos blend that is great bruises!
You are also given the amazing recipes that accompany each month’s box and they never disappoint. You will learn how to make play dough, a great fall diffuser blend, roller blend and it even contains an essential oil diffuser bracelet – which I’m going to share a tutorial for this later on this month, too. Using these essential oils around kids is a great way to help with energy boosting and everyday ailments in a very natural way.
