Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Young Living and how to get started below.
Young Living provides safe, effective alternatives free from harsh, dangerous synthetic man-made chemicals. From home cleaners to pet care, multivitamins to weight management, oral care to hair care, makeup to body care, antioxidant support to kids care, and more… we offer solutions to help you live naturally.
1. Are Young Living oils sold in stores?
Not generally, because staff in a retail stores are not usually trained in the proper use of Young Living essential oils, nor have the time to offer on-going training and education. Our oils are not your average oils found in aromatherapy shops and are used differently than most oils on the market. It’s important when deciding to use our oils that you have access to someone who can help you learn how to use the oils properly and who is ready, willing and able to help guide and support you along the way.
2. My local health food store has oils which are less expensive. Why should I purchase Young Living oils, which are more expensive?
Most of the essential oils on the market are what is called “perfume” or “aromatherapy” quality, or “fourth & fifth quality” oils, and do not come from first distillation. This includes oils found in health food stores and aromatherapy shops. Please DO NOT confuse those oils with GENUINE, premium-grade Young Living essential oils.
The first distillation, when done properly, preserves the delicate, beneficial properties of the resulting oil. Second though sixth distillations are much lower in price because the distillers distill multiple times, at high temperature and high pressure, which destroys most of the beneficial chemical compounds. They are cheaper because of this.
To make matters worse, oftentimes they are cut with synthetic extenders and petrochemical solvents which increases the volume produced but can be very detrimental, sometimes causing rashes and burning, skin irritations and more. When you see warnings against topical application or oral ingestion stated on the bottle it can be a good indication that it is an adulterated oil. Most essential oil manufacturers are not willing to spend the time and effort it takes to produce high quality essential oils. You get what you pay for!
Young Living goes above and beyond and is proud to set the standard for prducing GENUINE, premium-grade essential oils by carefully monitoring the production of our oils through our unique Seed to Seal® process. If you want consistent, reliable results then you should purchase pure, GENUINE therapeutic-grade essential oils made from plants that were grown on pristine land without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides, harvested at the optimum time, distilled for a precise amount of time, at a precise amount of pressure (low temps and low pressure) set specifically for that plant in order to preserve the delicate properties of each essential oil. From the time the seed is sourced until the oil is sealed in the bottle, we apply the most rigorous quality controls possible, and exceed industry standards, to ensure that you are receiving essential oils exactly the way nature intended. Producing pure, unadulterated, genuine essential oils is a very complicated, expensive process and is truly as much an art as it is a science.
Young Living essential oils are NOT your average, run of the mill “scents” you will find at your local drug or health food store, apothecary shops, or even from our competitors. You can’t expect to use those and get the same results and should NEVER attempt to use other oils in the same way as it can be dangerous.
