Plant Therapy Nighty Night 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, but you can also buy it individually.  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. If you're looking for the regular not-safe-for-kids version, check out Sleep Aid. Use this link to get $10 off!

If you are unable to use lavender (or just hate it like I do), they've created Sweet Slumber which also helps get your kids ready for bed. Once they're sleeping you can switch to Sweet Dreams (here's the roller ball version) which helps promote pleasant dreams.

Smell, Use, and Viscosity

Sweet Slumber (the version without lavender) has five ingredients: ho wood, cedarwood Himalayan, orange sweet, vetiver, and chamomile Roman.

Nighty Night has nine ingredients: lavender, marjoram sweet, mandarin, cedarwood atlas (aka cedarwood atlantica), patchouli, clary sage, chamomile Roman, and blue tansy, lemon.

Despite only having two similar ingredients (both blends have a type of cedarwood and chamomile Roman), they also have citrus, earthy, woody, floral, and herbaceous scents. They smell very similar to me.

Once they're sleeping you can switch to Sweet Dreams (here's the roller ball version) which helps promote pleasant dreams.

1. I hate lavender with a passion; it reminds me of old ladies. 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.
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. I know there are three kinds of mandarin: red, orange, and yellow. I'm not sure which this is. All three are called citrus reticulata and cold-pressed from the peel. The red is from the fully ripened fruit, the orange is from the partially ripened fruit, and the yellow is from the unripened fruit. They smell similar but have slight differences. I wish Plant Therapy specified which one it is. It's supposed to help with sadness.
4. I thought I would love cedarwood atlas. I love the smell of cedar chests and thought cedarwood would make me nostalgic and feel grounded. Nope, not the case. I had the chance to smell cedar and to me it simply smelled like a musty, old basement. It's said to help with respiratory issues, dandruff, and keeping insects away.
5. I hate patchouli, from talking to other people, it's one of those oils that you either love or hate and I'm the latter.  It can be grounding and help with stress or diffused while meditating.
6. Clary sage is supposed to be earth, fruity, floral, nutty and herbaceous, which is a lot of things. I'm not so sure about that. I don't really like earthy or herbaceous. It's known for helping with menstrual issues. It helps create calm.
7. I have never tried chamomile Roman. I've heard good things about it and I know it's supposed to smell powerful, green, and apple-like. I really think I might like it if it really smells like apples. I can do some green smells like lemongrass, so it sounds like something I might like to try. I haven't bought it yet since, in my opinion, it's kind of expensive. It's supposed to help children sleep and help tired muscles and joints. 
8. I'm not sure about blue tansy. I know it's a coveted blue oil and it's fricking expensive (like $40 for 5ml expensive), but it says it smells herbal and like an apple. I like the apple part. I'm not so sure of the herbal part. I don't like mossy, herbal, earthy, woody smells. It's said to be calming. It can also help for people who have pollen allergies, increase your self-esteem, enthusiasm, and confidence. Topically, it can help with skin problems.
9. My daughter loves lemon and so do I. We both really like citrus. Lemon can help lift your mood and energize you. It's good for cleaning, improving your immune system, and clearing the air.

It smells a bit like earth after the rain, a mossy scent with lavender (since lavender usually always sticks out to me). I can smell the woodsiness and mustiness as well. I don't really like it. My daughter doesn't like it either. I haven't used it enough to see if it works for them to go to sleep.

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

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. They have an organic version and a roller ball version as well. Since this does have citrus oils in it, I wish I would have bought the organic version. Use this link to get $10! 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 probably would. I don't really like the smell of it, but if it will help shorten bedtime and get my kids to sleep, then I'll use it every now and then.

Safety

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