Why Young Living



The process Young Living uses when planting, cultivating, harvesting, and distilling a batch of oil is crucial to retaining its vital compounds. Without the exact blend of naturally-occurring plant chemicals, an essential oil can lose its beneficial properties and fail to produce the desired effect.
Young Living quality seal guarantees that every essential oil Young Living distills, or sources, has the optimal naturally-occurring blend of constituents to maximize the desired effect. Young Living is able to make this assertion because of our strict cultivation process—illustrated by the Four P's—that guarantees the optimal potency of every Young Living essential oil.



PLANTS
Young Living has extensive experience selecting the correct species of plant for the desired oil potency. Once the right species is selected, only the best growers know how to produce a mature plant using the best soil and right amounts of water. Knowing the right time of day during the harvest season is critical to creating a YLTG essential oil.
PREPARATION
Once growers perfect the soil, plant, cultivation, and harvesting processes, the plants must be distilled properly in order to meet YLTG standards. Distilling plants is a complex process involving maintaining proper pressure and heat for the right amount of time. Young Living has some of the best distilling equipment on the property of its farms in Utah, Idaho, Ecuador, and France. Young Living never uses alcohol, solvents, or other chemicals to create a product yield.
PURITY
Every batch of essential oil is subjected to rigorous analysis at the Young Living laboratory. Our company has some of the best equipment to test the essential oils, including Gas Chromatograph, Mass Spectrometer testing, and heavy metals analysis.
POTENCY
The fourth P, Potency, is the culmination of the Plants, Preparation, and Purity. Potency means that each essential oil you use will have the most optimal level of naturally-occurring constituents that create the desired effect.


The Young Living farms and distilleries allow Young Living Essential Oils to maintain its position as the world’s leading grower, distiller, and provider of pure, potent essential oils. 
On Young Living farms, the cultivation, harvesting, and distillation processes of each batch of essential oils are carefully controlled. Extensive laboratory testing and independent audits are conducted to ensure Young Living’s quality exceeds industry standards. Experimentation performed on Young Living farms helps guarantee the consistent quality of Young Living essential oils, and allows for increased research and development opportunities.
