Plant Therapy Germ Destroyer KidSafe Essential Oil Synergy Blend Review

I knew that I wanted to use essential oils with my kids and Plant Therapy takes the guesswork out of what's safe and what's not safe since they have a KidSafe line. I got this oil as part of a set with the AromaFuse Diffuser. They have an organic version and a roller ball version as well as well. Since this does have citrus oils in it, I wish I would have bought the organic version. You can read more about organic vs. non-organic essential oils in this post.

Product Details

Like Edens Garden's OK for Kids, Plant Therapy has a line for kids. This product is a part of this line meant for kids aged 2 and up. You can buy it here. They have an organic version and a roller ball version as well as well. You can use this link to get $10 off!

This is a KidSafe version of the famous Thieves oil. I wrote a bit about Thieves in my review of Edens Garden Fighting Five, which is not safe for kids. If you're looking for Plant Therapy's regular version of Thieves, you can check out their Germ Fighter and Germ Fighter Organic.

Smell, Use, and Viscosity

This has five ingredients: spruce, marjoram sweet, lavender, rosalina, and lemon. The last one listed is my daughter's favorite and that's lemon. When she talks about lemon, her eyes bright up and she gets so excited. I also really like citrus, but my favorite is grapefruit, pink.

1. I've never smelled spruce, but I image it would smell a bit like Christmas. It's supposed to smell balsamy and like a forest and a bit fruity. It's said to help with congestion and better your mood.
2. Marjoram sweet is supposed to smell medicinal and herbaceous. I'm not going to like that. It's supposed to be calming and help get you to sleep. It can help with menstrual issues as well.
3. Florals can be ok, but some of them, like lavender I hate with a passion; it reminds me of old ladies. Medicinal scents, like tea tree oil (melaleuca), I simply don't like. They remind me of illness. Lavender seems to be a basic first oil that people buy. It's supposed to smell sweet and appealing, to entice you to relax and go to sleep. A favorite for many people, but not me.
4. Rosalina is supposed to be soft, lemony, medicinal, and floral. I'm not really sure if I'd like that to be honest. It's said to help with congestion due to seasonal flu and allergies.
5. Lemon is great. It's my daughter's favorite. I also like it since I like most citrus. Lemon can help lift your mood and energize you. It's good for cleaning, improving your immune system, and clearing the air.

It's supposed to smell fresh, green, and clean with a light vintage medicinal scent and that's about what it smells like to me except I can also smell the lavender. The medicinal scent reminds me of tea tree oil, so it must be the rosalina and the marjoram sweet coming through.

They say it's one of their most popular synergies. It's supposed to help everyone stay healthy or recover from illness. I'm not a bit fan of the smell at all. I prefer Edens Garden Fighting Five, but that's not safe for kids so for now I will stick to this.

I will definitely use this until my kids are old enough for me to switch to a regular Thieves version. I feel like it helps them when they get coughs and stuffy noses.

It is pretty thin, but it's not going to run out of the bottle.

Size, Price, and Packaging

I got a 10ml bottle and it is priced pretty fairly. As I mentioned before, I got this as part of a set with the AromaFuse Diffuser, but you can also buy it here. Use this link to get $10 off! They have an organic version and a roller ball version as well as well. Since this does have citrus oils in it, I wish I would have bought the organic version. The packaging is standard. It comes with an orifice reducer or Euro dropper. The oil is thin so it can come out quickly, but the orifice isn't too large that the oil just runs out.

Would I Get This Again?

Yes, I would get this again. The smell is ok. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I like what it does and I can diffuse it while my kids are sleeping so they don't really smell it.

Safety

The shelf life is about 1-2 years. I keep all mine in the fridge to help extend their shelf-life.
