What is Young Living's Seedlings Calm?

Seedlings Calm is a carefully crafted blend of pure essential oils, developed by Young Living with the intention of creating an atmosphere that invites stillness and tranquility into the home, specially formulated with little ones in mind. Its soft and comforting aromatic profile comes from the combination of select botanical oils, recognized for their harmonizing aromatic properties. This synergy aims to support daily routines, offering a calming atmosphere that may benefit the entire family.

The selection of oils in Seedlings Calm seeks to balance sweet floral notes with subtle citrus touches, resulting in a fragrance that feels enveloping and serene. It is an option considered by parents and family members who wish to integrate the power of aromatherapy into key moments, such as preparing for rest or simply to mitigate daily agitation, thus promoting a space of emotional well-being and relaxation.

Composition and Active Ingredients

The Seedlings Calm formula is based on a strategic combination of essential oils known for their calming aromatic profiles and natural sweetness. Key ingredients include:

• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Universally recognized for its floral, sweet, and herbaceous aroma, Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils in aromatherapy for fostering a relaxing atmosphere. Its presence in the blend contributes a central note that invites serenity.


• Bergamot (Citrus bergamia): This citrus oil provides luminous freshness and a subtle sweet nuance. Bergamot is valued in aromatherapy for its ability to uplift the mood and create a sense of well-being, while harmoniously complementing floral notes.


• Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): With a floral, slightly sweet, and rosy aroma, Geranium contributes to the aromatic complexity of the blend, adding a layer of balance and sweetness. It is appreciated for its ability to help harmonize emotions.


• Copaiba (Copaifera officinalis): Known for its balsamic and sweet aroma, Copaiba is a fascinating oil that acts as an excellent aromatic fixative, helping the fragrance to last. Its olfactory profile is comforting and promotes a sense of balance.


• Cilantro Seed (Coriandrum sativum): Offers a fresh, slightly sweet, and spicy note that is surprisingly complementary, adding an unexpected touch of warmth and vibrancy to the blend without overpowering the predominant floral aromas.


• Orange Peel (Citrus sinensis): Provides a bright and cheerful citrus note, delivering familiar sweetness and an uplifting touch that integrates perfectly with Bergamot and the floral notes, adding to the feeling of positivity.


• Amyris Root (Amyris balsamifera): This oil, known as West Indian Sandalwood, offers a woody, soft, and balsamic aroma. It contributes to the depth and base of the blend, providing an anchoring and calming note.

These oils are combined in a pure vegetable oil base, such as fractionated coconut oil, to ensure smooth and safe application on delicate children's skin, while maintaining the efficacy of their aromatic properties.

Suggested Use

Seedlings Calm is designed to be used in various ways in aromatherapy, always with caution and adapting to individual needs, especially when dealing with young children.

• Aromatic diffusion: Add 4-6 drops to an essential oil diffuser. Diffuse in your child's room or common areas for periods of 15-30 minutes, as needed, to create a relaxing atmosphere before naps or bedtime, or during quiet play.


• Diluted topical application: Although already diluted, for very sensitive skin, you can apply a small amount to the soles of the feet, the back of the neck, or the chest. Perform a patch test on a small area of the skin before general application to ensure no sensitivity. Always dilute further if necessary.


• Indirect aromatherapy: Place one drop on a tissue and allow them to gently inhale the aroma. You can also apply a drop to bedding or a stuffed animal (ensuring no direct contact with the child's eyes or mouth) for a subtle and prolonged aromatic effect.


• Gentle massage: For a relaxing massage, apply a small amount to the soles of the feet or the back, using gentle, circular motions. This can be part of the pre-sleep routine to help calm.

It is important to remember that the use of essential oils in children should always be supervised and moderated. Observe the child's reaction and adjust the quantity and frequency of use as needed.

Aromatic Synergies

Seedlings Calm, with its balanced aromatic profile, blends well with other essential oils or blends that share complementary notes or aim to enhance a serene environment.

• With Peppermint (for breathing): A small amount of Peppermint, when diffused with Seedlings Calm, can create an atmosphere of freshness that feels clearing and invigorating, while maintaining the calming base.


• With Orange or Tangerine: To enhance citrus notes and add an extra touch of joy and brightness, adding one or two drops of Orange or Tangerine can complement the bergamot, uplifting the mood.


• With Roman Chamomile: Roman Chamomile is widely recognized for its aromatic properties that foster tranquility. Combined with Seedlings Calm, it can intensify the feeling of calm and comfort, ideal for bedtime.

Experimenting with small amounts of other oils can uncover new aromatic dimensions that suit your family's needs and specific moments.

Usage Precautions

Although Seedlings Calm is formulated for gentle use, it is essential to follow precautions to ensure a safe and positive experience with this product.

• Topical use and skin sensitivity: Although this blend comes pre-diluted in a vegetable oil base, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before general application, especially on children with sensitive skin. If you observe irritation, discontinue use.


• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes: Ensure the product does not come into contact with eyes, the inside of the ears, or mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with a carrier vegetable oil (such as coconut or olive oil), not with water.


• Ingestion not recommended: This blend is intended for aromatic and topical use only. It is not formulated for ingestion.


• Safe storage: Keep this and all essential oils out of reach of small children and pets. Store in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources and direct light to preserve its integrity.


• Photosensitivity: Some citrus oils, including bergamot, may cause photosensitivity. Although the dilution in Seedlings Calm is low, it is advisable to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds in areas where the blend has been applied for at least 12 hours.


• Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have any pre-existing medical conditions, consult a healthcare professional before using any essential oil.


• Observation of reactions: Always observe children's reactions when using essential oils. If you experience any adverse reactions, such as difficulty breathing, skin rashes, or discomfort, discontinue use and seek medical advice if necessary.

Moderation and supervision are key when introducing essential oils into the care routine for babies and children.
