The Young Living Standard

Therapeutic Grade: The Young Living Standard

There is a significant difference between essential oils that simply smell good and those that are Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG).

Independent laboratory testing proves that YLTG essential oils meet and often exceed industry requirements, and as stewards of nature’s plant remedies, Young Living maintains higher internal standards, built upon the magnitude of our own rigorous quality assurance requirements. This standard is known as Young Living Therapeutic Grade.

In order to achieve YLTG classification, each essential oil must achieve the designation naturally, without excess manipulation and refinement, and meet specific criteria in four key areas:
Plants, Preparation, Purity, and Potency.


Plants Young Living products are produced from the right plants, grown in exceptional soil, and harvested at exactly the right time.

Preparation Honoring a strict commitment to respect and protect the time-honored methods of distillation, Young Living makes every effort to preserve “nature’s living energy” in a manner as close to its natural state as possible. Using pure mountain water free of additives, Young Living has a proprietary, stainless steel distillation process that uses low temperature and low pressure to better preserve plant properties, capture the pure essence of the plant, and preserve the quality of the oils.

Purity Achieved through the use of quality plants and meticulous preparation, and not through ultra-refinement, our finished product is100% pure. Young Living essential oils are unadulterated, uncut, and free of chemicals, pesticides, and heavy metals.

Potency To guarantee our products exceed existing world standards and meet our own higher internal standards for potency, we analyze the finished oil’s phytochemical profile to ensure it delivers optimal amounts of every key plant compound.


You need to know that there are huge chemical companies on the east coast that specialize in creating synthetic chemicals that mimic every common essential oil.

For every kilogram of pure essential oils there is an estimated 10 and 100 kilograms of synthetic oil created.
