What are essential oils?
Essential oils are the natural, aromatic liquids that protect plants against disease, insects, and other environmental conditions. Their innate anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-depressant, immune supporting, and regenerative properties make them powerfully therapeutic and medicinal for humans as well. In a world where most medicine is chemically produced, record numbers are now turning to essential oils – to improve health without exposure to the side effects of pharmacology.
Essential Oils are 50-70 times more potent than herbs. Essential oils have been used throughout history for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits.
When it comes to Young Living essential oils, Young Living sets the standard for purity and authenticity. They carefully monitor every step of the production of the oils from beginning to end through their unique Seed to Seal® process, ensuring the purity of each essential oil and protecting nature’s living energy in every bottle. This unsurpassed commitment to quality means that you can be confident that the Young Living essential oils and oil-infused products you use in your home are safe and effective.

SEED
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 that have been authenticated by Young Living and industry experts through scientific research, field study, university partnerships, and on-site planting certification. Selecting seeds that produce the highest therapeutic value is a vital step in our Seed to Seal process.

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 pant 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.
