Yes! Essential Oils can be used on your baby! If you use the proper essential oils, follow guidelines and dilution ratios, your baby too can benefit from the powerful benefits of essential oils! Even if you don't have a little one in your home anymore, share this with someone that does!! I wish I would have had this information when my girls were little!!
Did you know? :
*Talc is found in most baby powders and is a known lung irritant.
*Many baby products are made with synthetic fragrances that can cause respiratory, neurological, skin, and eye damage.
