Why Young Living?
“It’s not just our slogan, it’s our calling”
Either way, we’re glad you got here! If you aren’t familiar with essentials oils, beginning can feel overwhelming or intimidating. Once you begin to use essential oils, not only will they be fun to use, you will be amazed at all the different types of uses and combinations you can create!
Young Living embraces a rigorous quality control standard to help ensure our products meet strict specifications. Seed to Seal is our set of standards that help ensure that with every pure essential oil and Young Living product your family uses, you’re enjoying the benefits of our global resources, industry leadership, and over two decades of innovation. The result? A pristine final product that you know has been created with conscientious Sourcing, Science, and Standards—the three pillars of Seed to Seal.
As the leader of the essential oil’s movement, Young Living is paving the way for every other essential oil company to improve processes that protect our planet and ensure the highest quality standards.
SOURCING
Not all essential oils are created equal. Young Living will never knowingly compromise by adding synthetics, contaminants, or cheap fillers, or by using unethical production practices. Young Living Chief Supply Officer Lauren Walker guides the process of sourcing products from carefully vetted corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers and testing them extensively. If our exhaustive tests show that a product doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t buy it, or we reject the batch.
SCIENCE
Science is the cornerstone of what we do at Young Living. Our trained scientific staff employs cutting-edge methods to develop new products, as well as to help ensure the quality of all of our products. Both our R&D and Quality teams, led by Chief Science Officer Dr. Michael Buch, work in state-of-the-art labs with some of the most advanced scientific equipment available.
STANDARDS
Part of Young Living’s stewardship is to do business responsibly—from sustainably sourcing plants to uplifting local communities, and to comply with environmental and other laws. Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Matthew French, oversees the Global Compliance Program, helping to ensure that Young Living offers a pure product that you can feel confident is contributing to the greater good.
