Why Young Living?
Our Purpose
We are farmers and families–creators, distillers, and dreamers who harness the power of nature's living energy to enrich humanity.
Seed to Seal isn't just a process. It's a promise.
From start to finish, we take our sourcing, science, and standards to ensure you get meticulously made, potent essentials oils and products that can replace harsh checmicals in your day-to-day life. Together, let's be part of a healthier planet, one small change and one simple swap at a time.
Selective Sourcing
Quality products start at the source
We’re picky about what goes into our products. That’s why we’ve spent decades carefully building relationships with the suppliers and farmers who provide our essential oils and ingredients. Like you, we care about how our products are made—and we’re just as proud of what’s in our products as what’s not in them.
Ensuring high-quality products
Our selective Sourcing pillar helps ensure high-quality essential oils and wellness products while encouraging thoughtful agricultural practices, careful ingredient selection, and transparent labeling. Young Living sources products from carefully vetted corporate-owned farms, partner farms that share our values, and Seed to Seal-verified suppliers who can meet our extremely high standards for quality.
Cultivating excellence
Young Living’s corporate farms are where we showcase our company values. Here, our Customers and Brand Partners and the public get to see us growing superior aromatic plants, distilling premium essential oils, and performing industry-leading testing and research. Our partner farms are like-minded suppliers that help provide the high-quality products our members love. These locations are independently owned, but our relationships are so deeply entwined that they are part of the Young Living family.
Our partner farms often work with Young Living on long-term goals, and we spend years fortifying our relationships, offering extensive resources to make sure their practices align with ours. Premium aromatic plants start with strong, established relationships. Our teams carefully select suppliers, developing relationships over decades, which all started with Founder D. Gary Young’s tireless hunt for superior producers around the world.
And though these suppliers are carefully vetted, our policy, of course, is to verify. Each batch of oils is subject to an extensive battery of tests and ongoing audits. Our Seed to Seal-verified suppliers embrace our philosophy and help maintain our strict quality specifications. However, if our Science and Quality Assurance teams find that a supplier’s product does not meet our demanding standards, then we will not use it.
Our farmers go beyond
Our farmers are experts in their field who know what it takes to deliver the highest-quality products while constantly innovating to reduce our environmental impact. From nourishing the soil with the right nutrients to harvesting plants at the perfect time, they approach farming from every angle.
Innovative Science
Researching products since 1994
If you think you deserve the benefits of plant-based products without compromise, you’re right. We won’t settle for anything less and want the best for you, your family, and your home. From our industry-leading testing and research labs to our world-class aromatic farms and distilleries, our insatiable curiosity constantly pushes us to challenge the status quo and bring you the wellness solutions you deserve.
Pioneering Standards
Setting industry standards from the start
We believe in doing business better. Our internal standards and policies govern all that we do, from the tests we run on our products to the way we source our ingredients. Through our Global Compliance Program and Lacey Act Compliance Program, we’re strict about how we do business, so you can have peace of mind with every drop.
