Essential oils are everywhere—but not all are created equal. On this page, we’re diving into what truly sets Young Living apart: a commitment to quality, transparency, sustainability, and purpose.
Why Do Loyal Users Choose Young Living?
Even budget-conscious families make room for Young Living oils. Why? Because they work. Because they’re trusted. And because they’re made for wellness, not just for shelves.
"I never make a product for a profit, I make it for a purpose." — D. Gary Young
Every product is created with intention—to uplift, support, and bring lasting change to families around the world.
The Seed to Seal® Standard:
More Than a Slogan
Young Living’s Seed to Seal® commitment ensures control over every step—from seed selection to the final sealed bottle. No outsourcing. No shortcuts.

Sourcing – Where it comes from matters.
Science – Tested for peak potency and purity.
Standards – Held to criteria far beyond organic.
Social Impact - Creating global change through community empowerment, sustainability, and purpose-driven partnerships.
Young Living selects seeds for therapeutic value, not just oil volume. Their lavender combines both seed-grown and clonal plants for complexity and strength.
Sustainability is at the root:
Non-GMO, organic farming practices
Regular soil and water testing
Natural pest control using essential oils, companion plants, and beneficial insects
Positive cultivation environment—yes, even kind words to crops
