If you’re looking for a Young Living Purification essential oil recipe, you’re in the right place!
Young Living’s popular Purification® essential oil blend helps to neutralize unpleasant odors in the air. Its clean and crisp, lemon-y aroma makes it a family favorite.
Young Living essential oils are about the most expensive oils you can buy. It’s no surprise that people are looking for alternatives, or DIY recipes to make their own variations of popular YL blends.
This post contains affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase through these links, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Read my full disclosure policy here.
In this article, I will explore and explain the ingredients of the original Purification® blend. Then, I will show you a recipe that I’ve used to copycat the Young Living Purification blend. And last but not least, I will give you easy alternative blends to buy from less expensive essential oil companies. These alternative blends will all have very similar oil ingredients to the original from Young Living.
Let’s dive in!

The blend is useful for deodorizing your home, refreshing musky areas, and purifying the air you breathe.
On the official website for Young Living essential oils, you are able to find the ingredient list for their proprietary Purification® blend:
- Cymbopogon nardus (Citronella) oil
- Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) leaf oil
- Cymbopogon flexuosus (Lemongrass) oil
- Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree) leaf oil
- Lavandula hybrida (Lavandin) oil
- Myrtus communis (Myrtle) oil
All essential oils in this blend are 100% pure, YLTG™ (Young Living Therapeutic Grade) essential oils.
The current price for a bottle of original Purification® is around $26 for 5 ml, and around $45 for 15 ml on Amazon.
The blend ingredients don’t state how much to use of each oil. I’m sure you can imagine that this information is highly proprietary and protected.
However, using my own sense of smell and aromatherapy experience, I have re-created a copycat Purification blend as follows:
DIY Purification Essential Oil Blend Recipe
A DIY version of Young Living’s Purification blend is easier to make than you might think.
It took me some trial and error… but I think I have arrived at a winning recipe here.
The tricky thing was adjusting the numbers of drops, and getting the smell ‘just right’ when it was diffused.
I have done all the testing, math, and recipe creation for you!
Please make sure to blend this recipe in sequence. That is, start with the first oil listed, add the next, etc. Work from top down.
This recipe makes a small 5 ml bottle of DIY Purification Blend. Start with an empty 5 ml amber glass bottle. You can clean and recycle a previously used one, or get some new ones off Amazon for around $1 a piece here. You’ll need around 100 drops of essential oils to fill your 5 ml bottle.
- Empty 5 ml Amber Glass Bottle
- 15 drops Citronella essential oil
- 20 drops Rosemary essential oil
- 35 drops Lemongrass essential oil
- 8 drops Tea Tree essential oil
- 15 drops Lavandin essential oil
- 7 drops Myrtle essential oil
Why Use The Purification Blend?
The Purification essential oil blend is a great option to improve indoor air quality.
Modern houses are more densely sealed than older houses. While such airtight homes are fantastic energy savers, we now need to address the issue of indoor air quality.
Less air loss means more air is being kept inside. This also leads to more toxins circulating inside our homes today… something you can combat easily with essential oils!
5 ml Purification Oil
I use my Purification type blend for:
- diffusing,
- in our bathroom spray,
- to eliminate pet odors,
- or deodorize smelly shoes or workout gear.
With ingredients such as Citronella and Lemongrass oils, the scent is fresh and invigorating. It’s perfect to use in DIY cleaning recipes as well.
Alternative Blends
Purification is one of the most popular Young Living essential oil blends. So, other essential oil companies carry a similar or alternative blend of their own.
Having analyzed the oil ingredients in Purifications, here are two alternate brands that carry a “Purify” blend with the exact same single essential oil ingredients as the original.
REVIVE Purify
Purify Blend
$14 at REVIVE for 10 ml
This Purify blend is REVIVE essential oils‘ version of the Young Living Purification® oil. It is a proprietary blend of Rosemary, Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavandin, Tea Tree, Myrtle essential oils. These are the exact same oil ingredients as in YL’s original blend.
A bottle of REVIVE Purify sells for just $14 USD on their website.
Rocky Mountain Oils Purify
Rocky Mountain Oils’ Purify Blend
$29 at RMO for 15 ml
Purify contains pure Lemongrass, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Lavender, Myrtle, and Citronella essential oils. Again, these are the exact same oil ingredients as in Young Living’s original recipe.
I always use Rocky Mountain Oils‘ Purify blend for my deodorizing bathroom spray.
You can get 15 ml of Purify blend at RMO for $29. Use code EOHAVEN10 for 10% off at checkout.
Purification Blend Cost Comparison
When discussing Young Living oils, the price is always a talking point. Thus, I have created this easy price comparison chart for you to see how much you stand to save by buying from another company, or making your own blend using Plant Therapy essential oils, and the proper variety of Myrtle (Myrtus communis) from Edens Garden.
To keep the math easy, I have taken prices for 10 ml bottles. A 10ml bottle of essential oil contains approximately 200-250 drops. Again, for easiest math I assumed each bottle yields just 200 drops. You can save even more if you buy larger bottles of oil, such as the 30 ml size.
Here is the math:
- Citronella essential oil, 10 ml for $9.99. Out of this bottle, 15 drops is $0.75.
- Rosemary essential oil, 10 ml for $8.49. Out of this bottle, 20 drops is $0.85.
- Lemongrass essential oil, 10 ml for $8.99. Out of this bottle, 35 drops is $1.57.
- Tea Tree essential oil, 10 ml for $8.49. Out of this bottle, 8 drops is $0.34.
- Lavandin essential oil, 10 ml for $10.99. Out of this bottle, 15 drops is $0.82.
- Myrtle essential oil, 10 ml for $15.95. Out of this bottle, 7 drops is $0.56.
Total cost for the DIY purification essential oil recipe blend in a 5 ml recipe is: $4.89.

It’s so amazing and easy I never knew thanks for sharing. I’m going to try it now.
Thanks, Emma for all you have done to educate me on using essential oils. I switched from YoungLiving to mostly Revive. I also use Plant Therapy and on occasion Rocky Mountain Oils. I make a lot of DIY using some of your suggestions. You are one of my best to go to resources. Thank you so much, Carole
Is this safe to diffuse in the house with cats and dogs?
