The Story of Young Living

January 8, 2016 By The Essential Way Team

Young Living Seed to Seal Logo

Many of our team members have tried essential oils for years, purchasing them from local health food stores or online from inexpensive retailers. However, we sometimes experienced very bad side effects from these oils, or didn’t seem to see results.

It wasn’t until we discovered Young Living oils that we understood the necessity of purity in order for essential oils to help, not harm. Young Living follows painstaking steps through its proprietary Seed to Seal® production process in order to produces the most authentic essential oils in the world. They are committed to providing pure, powerful products for every family and lifestyle, all infused with the life-changing benefits of our essential oils.

Gary Young Distillery Black Spruce Oil

The community of wellness started small in 1993, when D. Gary Young and Mary Young developed their first organic herb farming and distillation operation. At the time, Gary Young had already discovered the incredible power of essential oils, but because the quality of available oils varied so greatly, he’d been unable to fully harness their potential. Mary’s previous experience in the direct-selling industry enabled the Youngs to fulfill their vision and establish a business that would empower its members to share truly pure essential oils with the world.

After establishing Young Living in 1994, the Youngs developed more farmland in Utah and Idaho and began cultivating lavender, peppermint, melissa, clary sage, and many other herbs. Fueled by a growing demand for top-quality essential oils, Young Living designed and built the largest, most technologically advanced essential oil distillery in North America. In harmony with these efforts, Young Living developed its groundbreaking Seed to Seal® process, which preserves the integrity and potency of essential oils through every step of the production process.

Young Living Ecuador Farm

Today, Young Living has farms around the world, including this farm (photo, left) in Ecuador where they produce rare and exotic essential oils.

Through Gary and Mary’s combined leadership, Young Living has grown to become the world leader in essential oils and wellness solutions. Headquartered in Lehi, Utah, with offices in Australia, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Singapore, as well as farms around the world, Young Living stays true to the Youngs’ original vision. With a steadfast commitment to essential oil purity, they’ve inspired millions of people around the world to experience nature’s gifts of wellness, to create abundance as Young Living members, and to discover new opportunities.

Young Living is known for its generosity around the world, especially in the communities where it has farms. Check out the Young Living Foundation to learn more →
