Young Living Essential Oils is now more than 20 years

old. It is the undisputed leader in essential oils. Young

Living was the first company in recent history to call
attention to the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
In recent years, other competing companies have sprung
up with claims to be built around a focus of offering
pure oils with therapeutic benefits. One company was
actually started by people who had worked at Young
Living for a short time.

If you are using essential oils from another company, it
is important to ask a few questions.

1. Does their company own any farms on which to raise
herbs for oils? And if they do, are they new farms on
land formerly polluted with herbicides, pesticides, and
chemicals that contain residuals from the past, or are
they farming land that is clean, which has never been
cultivated or has been untilled for at least the last 50
years?
2. Does their company have their own fully equipped
testing laboratory to verify an oils composition?
3. Do they have anyone on staff with a trained nose who
can analyze oils by their smell? (There are less than 200
people in the world with noses sufficiently trained to
discern the chemistry of a fragrance.)
4. If their company purchases oils from outside
suppliers, do they visit the distilleries and farms of those
suppliers periodically to observe if the herbs are grown
organically, i.e. without pesticides, herbicides, or
chemical fertilizers?
5. Do they know if the grower has a testing laboratory on
the farm to determine when the crop is at its peak for oil
harvesting?
6. Do they know if the crops were actually harvested at
their peak time and, if so, was there an inordinate delay
in taking them to the still and into the cookers?
7. Do they know if their distillery personnel understand
the art and science of distilling, exactly how to pack the
cookers, how to administer the steam, how to maintain
minimum temperatures and pressures throughout the
cooker, and how to continuously monitor the process
throughout distillation to make sure the oil produced
contains all of its components in the proper proportions?
8. If their supplier makes a mistake in the distillation or
harvesting processes that results in an inferior grade of
oil, does that supplier sell the oil anyway or do they
discard it?

9. Do they know if the cookers in the distilleries of their
suppliers have domed lids or cone shaped lids? Most
stills use dome-shaped lids. Cone topped cookers deliver
a better grade of oil than dome tops.

10. Do they know if their suppliers supplement the
distillation process with solvents to extract additional oil
from the plant matter?
11. Do they know if their suppliers bottle their oils
directly from the distillery without modifying the
composition of the natural oil by adding anything or
taking anything away?
12. Do they know if their company has tested their
companys oils side by side with Young Living oils in
the same lab to make a fair comparison? And if so,
where is the data?
If their answer to any or most of the above is no, or I
dont know, then how do they know their oils are pure
therapeutic grade and that they are as good or better
than those of Young Living?
With Young Living, you know that the answer to all of
these questions is Yes.

that have been authenticated by Young Living and industry experts

therapeutic value is a vital step in our Seed to Seal process.




































The first step of this process
Seed means we research plant species that
offer the optimal therapeutic benefits, identify
species with experts and document their
source, and monitor the ongoing cultivation
process to ensure the chosen plant species is
used.

Potent essential oils come from plant species

Cultivate
Young Living's knowledge of soil
preparation, balance of sun and water,
responsible weed and pest control,
and wild-craft harvesting ensures that
stringent standards are met. We
continue to conduct research and
remain dedicated to growing the
highest quality aromatic plants.

Distill
Young Living's proprietary low-
temperature, low-pressure steam
distillation process ensures that the
beneficial plant compounds in every
batch of essential oil remain
uncompromised during the extraction
process.
This process is completed at just the right time to ensure all beneficial
constituents are present to maximize the quality of the oil.

Test
Each essential oil must pass Young
Living's stringent testing to ensure
the optimal bioactive natural
compounds are present. Young
Living uses its own internal labs, in
addition to third-party audits, to
verify that international purity
and potency standards are met and surpassed. Each oil is tested during
various stages of distillation to determine the release of different plant
constituents.


Seal
Young Living completes the Seed to Seal
process by carefully sealing and inspecting
each bottle of essential oil at our clean-
room facility and shipping to members
worldwide. Individual bottle labels are
encoded with detailed tracking information
that allows Young Living to trace each
bottle of essential oil back to its source.
