Essential Oils 101 Your skin is the largest organ of the body—it’ll absorb anything that you put on it and put it into the bloodstream. So anything that you use—shampoo, toothpaste, lotions and oils, you’ll want to ensure is really pure, natural and safe. For the most part if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t wear it. Why Young Living? Young Living is proud to set the standard for essential oil purity and authenticity by carefully monitoring the production of our oils through our unique Seed to Seal® process.
From the time the seed is sourced until the oil is sealed in the bottle, we apply the most rigorous quality controls possible to ensure that you are receiving essential oils exactly the way nature intended. Young Living’s authentic essential oils capture the pure energy of the plant. This energy has proven therapeutic properties that can help move you to a life of wellness, purpose, and abundance. Young Living’s oils are more effective than others on the market due to our strict quality-control process. From the moment the first seed is sown until the oil is sealed in the bottle, the Seed to Seal® process ensures our oils deliver expected results.
"We believe that you and your family deserve products that are genuine, free of synthetic chemicals, and of unmatched purity. Seed to Seal® is both a promise to you and a reflection of our sense of global stewardship."
