Seed to Seal Promise 

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

 

Cultivate Young Living's knowledge of soil preparation, balance of sun and water, responsible weed and pest control, and wildcraft harvesting ensure that stringent standards are met, both on our farms as well as with our carefully monitored partner farms. We continue to conduct research and remain dedicated to growing the highest quality aromatic plants.

​

Distill: Combing ancient and modern techniques, Young Living's low-pressure steam distillation process ensures that the beneficial plant compounds in each batch of essential oil remain uncompromised. This step is completed at just the right time to ensure all beneficial constituents are present to maximize the quality of the oil. Additionally, we use tree resin hydrodistillation for select oils and cold pressing techniques for most of our citrus essential oils.

​

Test: Young Living never accepts diluted, cut, or adulterated essential oils. To guarantee consistent quality, our essential oils are tested in our own internal labs, as well as third-party facilities, to ensure that they meet demanding specifications, exceed international standards, and contain the optimal levels of natural bioactive molecules. 

​

Seal: We complete our seed to seal process by carefully sealing and inspecting each bottle of essential oil at our 107,000-square-foot state of the art clean-room facility and then 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.
