What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts captured through careful distillation or cold-pressing.

These aromatic compounds come from many parts of plants including:
• flowers
• leaves
• bark
• roots
• resins
• citrus peels

People use essential oils in many ways including:
• aromatically in diffusers
• diluted on the skin
• in bath and body routines
• in household cleaning
• in cooking when labeled Vitality™ essential oil

When used properly essential oils can add beautiful aroma, botanical richness, and intentional daily rituals to everyday life.

Why Essential Oil Quality Matters

Not all essential oils are the same.

The quality of an essential oil depends on many factors including:
• how the plants are grown
• soil conditions and climate
• harvesting practices
• distillation methods
• testing for purity and quality

Young Living® developed the Seed to Seal® quality commitment, which focuses on careful farming, responsible sourcing, and extensive testing.

This approach helps ensure oils are produced with attention to purity, authenticity, and quality standards.
