To bring pure essential oils to families around the world, our Seed to Seal® standard is at the core of everything we do. Because this standard is an integral part of our company and culture, we’re constantly working to ensure that members and people around the world understand what goes into these principles. That’s why we’re proud to share with you the three core pillars of Seed to Seal: Sourcing, Science, and Standards. This expanded standard, which officially launched at the International Grand Convention last month, brings you a bigger, more concrete picture of what our Seed to Seal standard includes. Sourcing: We source our oils from our own farms, partner farms, and vetted suppliers and test extensively. If an oil doesn’t meet our strict testing requirements, we reject the batch. Science: We rely on pure, effective ingredients and innovative formulas to create authentic, research-based products that members can rely on without a second thought. Standards: We’re leading the effort to create standards and protocols to ensure quality and environmental stewardship, even with increasing demand in the essential oils industry. The principles behind these pillars are a testament to our commitment to bring exceptional products to the world. With them in mind, you can feel confident that every product from Young Living meets the highest quality and authenticity standards. Plus, these easy-to-remember pillars make it more simple than ever to share Young Living’s tireless commitment to quality with others. As always, every decision we make is part of our effort to bring the life-changing benefits of pure essential oils to the world. For more on how this expanded, comprehensive story can help you share Young Living’s message, visit SeedtoSeal.com!
