There is a significant difference between novelty essential oils that “may” simply smell good and those that are therapeutic-grade.
Independent laboratory testing proves that Young Living essential oils meet and often exceed industry requirements (AFNOR / ISO). As stewards of nature’s plant remedies we maintain a higher internal standard than the industry standard requirements. This standard is known as “therapeutic-grade.”
In order to achieve therapeutic-grade 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. This is just one way in which Young Living is in the forefront of the essential oil industry, we have been and will continue setting the standard. Others have said, “Young Living has been very instrumental in creating the standards by which the industry can go on.” I can only imagine the quality we’d be stuck with if it weren’t for Young Living.
Young Living devised the classification, therapeutic-grade, due to the lax and quite often abused and under-deserved titles of “pure” and “all-natural” that lesser quality essential oil companies are assigning their novelty products which contain little if any therapeutic benefit.
Did you know?
That I or anyone can go into a lab and create a scented liquid using all-synthetic chemicals and label the finished product a “pure essential oil”? Thats because there is no regulation on essential oils. Anyone can make a scent from any material and call it an essential oil.

What does that mean to the consumer?
Quite simply, buyer beware!
Know that the likelihood of a product you’re using probably has a near zero chance of having a therapeutic-grade essential oil in it - even if the label says it contains an essential oil, and even if it comes from your natural foods store. 98% of the time it will be a synthetic or a poorly crafted essential oil with no benefits. Which means you’re paying for a word, essential oil, and not a real result.
Any essential oil in the world that is the same quality as Young Living WILL cost exactly the same as a Young Living essential oil.
Since only about 2% of the essential oil produced in the world is of this higher quality it is difficult to obtain the “real deal.” Think of “real” essential oils the same way you would view any precious commodity - there is a world market price for real essential oils.
When you see someone advertising the same quality as Young Living only cheaper - it’s cheaper because the oil is adulterated, and your warning flag should go up.
I personally would never diffuse, apply topically, or take internally any of the essential oils sold on the market that didn’t come from Young Living. The reason I feel so strongly about this is because I don’t know of any company, other than Young Living, that doesn’t tinker with their essential oils to extend them in one form or another.
That also means that no one should use an essential oil the same way you would use a Young Living oil. These essential oils are far more than aromatic and are quite powerful. A lesser quality essential oil can mean disastrous results.
Where can you find Young Living Essential Oils?
One place is through my website: TheVeryEssence.com
To buy Young Living essential oils each customer has a “sponsor” - the role of the sponsor is to assist the customer in how to use their essential oils properly. Yes, there is a learning curve, it’s fun and easy when you have good materials to work from and someone guiding you.
I see myself as someone who is helping people in today’s world “regain” a lot of the wisdom that has been lost over recent decades. We evolved with plants and essential oils. Essential oils were used even before ancient man used dried herbs for healing. Novelty and adulterated aromatherapy products these are NOT!
