Unlike most essential oil companies, Young Living don’t buy oils through brokers and on-sell them. Instead, they achieve the ultimate quality control by growing plants on their own farms and partner farms – 16 farms in 12 countries – as well as sourcing from their Seed to Seal certified suppliers.
Young Living do NOT test on animals, and they are one of the only essential oil suppliers in the world to use an independent environmental auditor, SCS Global, so you can trust in both their essential oil quality, and their environmental ethics.
Why is this important? Many companies are touting that they are sourcing oils from ethical and environmentally sustainable suppliers, because that’s what most of us are looking for. However, words are cheap – without independent auditing, we don’t have the guarantee that they are telling us the whole truth.
So what is Young Living’s philosophy when it comes to producing essential oils? It’s this – from Seed to Seal, no chemicals touch their fields or their plants at any point in the growing, distillation or bottling process. Young Living guarantee that their oils are absolutely PURE and UNADULTERATED, and safe for you and your family.
They are located in France, Utah (2), Idaho (2), Canada, Ecuador, Croatia and Oman.
Their partner farms are located around the world, including an Indian Sandalwood farm in Western Australia, a Blue Cypress farm in Darwin (Australia), a Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood farm in Hawaii, a Roman Chamomile and Valerian farm in Bulgaria, the Happy Pili Tree farm in the Phillipines (this makes Elemi oil), and many more.
There are also co-ops where farmers grow exclusively for Young Living, such as in France, Taiwan, Israel, Dubai and Somaliland.
In fact, I’ve had the joy of visiting and working on many of these farms, including: Utah (1), Idaho (2), Ecuador, Croatia, France, Oman,Canada, Darwin, and Hawaii. Young Living has organised events on these farms during harvest season – you are welcome to attend one of these events, or to pre-arrange a separate visit.
