Infect Away™
What sits inside this bottle, where do those plants come from, and how does it follow PuriClean™? Let's look closer.
Explore the BlendSee the 3-Part SystemThe Middle Step
Animal Scents® Infect Away™ is the second step in Young Living's three-part Animal Scents® system for minor scrapes and scratches. PuriClean™ comes first. Mendwell™ follows.
So why look at a middle step on its own? Because understanding what each bottle contains, and why it sits where it does, helps you make a thoughtful choice instead of simply reaching for a product.
One Base. Six Essential Oils.
The complete formula, nothing more.
Caprylic/capric glycerides
Where Does Each Oil Come From?
What is the plant? Which part gives the oil? And what does it bring to the character of the blend?
Myrrh
Commiphora myrrha
A small, thorny desert tree. When the bark is cut, it releases a gum resin that hardens into amber "tears," and the oil comes from that resin. Myrrh lends a warm, deep, resinous base note.
PLANT PART: RESIN
Patchouli
Pogostemon cablin
A leafy, bushy member of the mint family. Its leaves are typically dried before distillation. Patchouli adds an earthy, rich, grounding depth.
PLANT PART: LEAVES
Dorado Azul
Hyptis suaveolens
A wild-growing aromatic herb. Oil from the leafy aerial parts brings a fresh, herbaceous note.
Palo Santo
Bursera graveolens
"Holy wood," a relative of frankincense and myrrh. The oil comes from the wood, adding a sweet, woody warmth.
Ecuadorian Oregano
Plectranthus amboinicus
Not the oregano in your spice rack. Its thick, fuzzy leaves give a bold, pungent, herbal note.
Resin. Wood. Leaf.
Deep resinous and earthy base notes, a woody middle, and bright herbal and spicy leaves, all carried in caprylic/capric glycerides. Four of these botanicals share South American roots. Together they read as one formula, not six separate oils.

Review the BlendAnimals Are Not Small People.
Human essential-oil guidance does not translate directly to dogs, cats, horses, or any other species. Three questions come before the first drop.
SPECIES MATTERS.
Different species process essential oils differently. Cats, especially, call for extra care and a conversation first.
SIZE MATTERS.
A Cavalier and a horse do not need the same amount. Match application to the animal in front of you.
DILUTION MATTERS.
Young Living recommends additional dilution for smaller species. Start gently and watch the response.
Avoid eyes and sensitive areas. Follow label directions. Deep, puncture, or bite wounds, bleeding, swelling, discharge, or an animal acting unwell need your veterinarian. When in doubt, contact Dr. Lynne to take a look.
A Product Never Tells the Whole Story.
Before asking, "What do I put on it?" ask a better question: what is my animal telling me? The skin, the posture, the licking, the way they move away from your hand. All of it carries information.
