In this blend
A bright, citrus-forward aroma with a playful character.
What It’s Designed For
Inner Child is part of Young Living’s collection of emotionally themed blends, built around a bright, citrus-leaning profile meant to evoke playfulness and nostalgia rather than a specific physical use case. It stands apart from the heavier, more resinous blends in the same family (like Grounding or Humility) by leaning toward something lighter and more cheerful.
Aroma Character
Expect a bright, citrus-forward scent with a playful, uncomplicated character — closer to the energy of Joy than to the reflective, wood-and-resin blends elsewhere in Young Living’s emotional-support line.
When and How People Use It
In the diffuser: 3–5 drops brings a cheerful, uncomplicated aroma well suited to a relaxed weekend, a creative project, or any moment of deliberate lightheartedness — some people use it specifically while doing something nostalgic, like looking through old photos or revisiting a favorite childhood activity.
On skin: dilute to 1–3% in a carrier oil for a pulse-point application. If the blend leans citrus-heavy, avoid direct sun exposure on treated skin for several hours after application, as many citrus oils are phototoxic.
Sourcing Note
As a proprietary Young Living blend, the exact ratio isn’t published. The labeled product is the only reliable way to reproduce its intended aroma and emotional framing — there’s no published recipe to recreate independently.
Safety Note
Standard dilution guidelines apply; patch-test on the forearm first, and respect the citrus sun-exposure caution above if the blend leans bright and citrusy.
