The Seed to Seal process

Young Living uses a rigorous quality system called "Seed to Seal" for all its essential oil products:

Seed   Potent essential oils come from plant species that have been authenticated by Young Living experts. Species certification involves scientific research, field study, university partnerships, and on-site planting certification.
Cultivate   Through cultivation on the four Young Living farms, the company has mastered the creation of pure, potent essential oils. This knowledge is taken around the world to co-op farms to certify that the growing processes meet Young Living’s strict quality standards.
Distill   A proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure steam distillation process ensures that the beneficial plant compounds in every batch of essential oil remain uncompromised during the extraction process.
Test   Each essential oil must pass stringent testing to ensure the optimal bioactive natural compounds are present. Young Living uses its own internal labs, in addition to third-party audits, to verify that international purity and potency standards are met and surpassed.
Seal   The process is completed by carefully sealing each bottle of essential oil before shipping them to members worldwide.
