What it’s designed for
Peace & Calming combines tangerine, orange, ylang ylang, patchouli, and blue tansy into a soft, sweet, slightly earthy blend that’s become one of Young Living’s most recognizable names — largely because of how gentle and universally liked the aroma is.
The oils in it
- Tangerine — a bright, sweet citrus top note.
- Orange — reinforces the sweet, cheerful citrus character.
- Ylang ylang — adds a rich, calming floral note.
- Patchouli — grounds the blend with an earthy base note.
- Blue tansy — a deep blue oil that softens the citrus-floral mix and gives it a herbaceous edge, and lends the blend’s namesake bottles their faint blue tint.
When and how people use it
In the diffuser: 3–5 drops in the evening is the classic use case — this is one of the blends most commonly reached for as part of a wind-down or bedtime routine, including in family and children’s spaces.
On skin: dilute to around 1% in a carrier oil for a calming pulse-point application. Its citrus notes (tangerine, sweet orange) are among the citrus oils generally considered non-phototoxic — no special sun precaution is needed the way it would be with lemon, lime, or bergamot.
Why people like it
Where many “relaxing” blends lean heavily woody or medicinal, Peace & Calming stays sweet and approachable, which is why it shows up so often in nurseries and shared family spaces.
Sourcing note
As with other proprietary blends, the exact ratio of five oils is what defines the aroma — buying the named blend is the only way to reproduce it reliably.
