If you use the popular On-Guard Essential Oil Blend, read this article to see why you should give Spark Naturals’ Shield Blend a try – and it isn’t just price that factors in – Here are the details:
On Guard 15ml Bottle:

Retail:$42.67
Ingredients: Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils. -Information directly from DoTerra
Shield 15ml Bottle:

You’ll notice the only two differences between the blends are Price, and that Spark Naturals has opted to use Lemon Essential Oil in place of On-Guard’s Wild Orange Essential Oil. Why? Benefits! The main component of Wild Orange is limonene – which offers great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Lemon Essential Oil contains not 1, but 3 such chemicals – limonene, beta-pinene, and gamma terpinene: all of which are powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, but with the inclusion of beta-pinene and gamma-terpinene, we gain analgesic (pain relief) benefits, and anti-bacterial benefits, offering you an even greater protection…a complete Shield.
Spark Naturals’ Shield Blend contains no carrier oils, is not diluted, and is composed of 100% Certified Pure Pharma-Grade Essential Oils. The price difference is a direct result of our business model: Spark Naturals is a Non-MLM company, and we offer 100% Pure, Undiluted Essential Oils to everyone – no pressure, no pyramids, and our oils are ALL available year-round to anyone and everyone. Opting for Shield Essential Oil Blend will save you $3.20 – $13.87, and offer an advantage and greater overall “shield” against the elements and ailments you’re wanting to avoid.
How should Shield be blended for use on children? And with what should it be blended?
You dilute the Shield blend with any carrier oil, Fractionated Coconut is usually a common one to use. You can dilute 2 drops per 1 teaspoon of carrier oil.
Can you consume it?
If you mean can it be used internally via water or capsule, the yes. We do not suggest using large amounts at once straight in your mouth.
What does 100% Certified Pure Pharma-Grade mean vs. 100% Certified Pure Theraputic-Grade
The terms are very much the same, but the term “Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade” is a paid for trademark of DoTerra.
