HOW DO I GET YOUNG LIVING OILS?
There are two ways to get Young Living oils:
1. You can sign up as a Retail Customer using the member number of the friend that referred you to Young Living oils. You’ll pay full price & full shipping. Honestly, not many people choose this route.
2. The way most people choose to get oils is to sign up as a Wholesale Member using the member number of the friend that referred you to Young Living oils. You can only get the Premium Starter Kit as a Wholesale Member – the kit that comes with 11 bottles of goodness plus a free diffuser. Click HERE to check out the Premium Starter Kit and HERE to read why it’s important who you sign up with.
IS THERE A MONTHLY REQUIREMENT TO PURCHASE A CERTAIN AMOUNT?
Nope! Not at all! Pretty neat, eh? As a Wholesale Member, you’ll be able to purchase oils at wholesale price (24% off) and you can buy whenever you want. As long as you purchase 50pv per year, your account will remain active. It’s like having a Sam’s Club or Costco membership, but for amazing oils and other natural products. Yay!
WHAT IS PV?
PV stands for Personal Volume. For most products, 1pv=$1.There are some cases where the PV is different from the price.
DO I HAVE TO SELL ANYTHING?
Nope! Not at all!
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOUNG LIVING? THERE’S SO MANY OTHER COMPANIES AND SOME ARE CHEAPER!
Check out our post HERE that discusses that.
WHY SHOULDN’T I PURCHASE FROM AMAZON, EBAY, ETC?
Young Living Essential Oils does not authorize any of its distributors to sell on online sites like Amazon, eBay or Etsy. So, if you’re buying from those sites, you’re likely buying products that have been tampered with or diluted. It’s definitely a bad idea to purchase your oils from any of those sites. Did you know that you can buy unopened, tamper-proof tops for pennies to put onto an already opened bottle? There is no guarantee that what you’re getting is truly 100% pure Young Living oils unless you order direct from youngliving.com.
HOW MANY DROPS ARE IN EACH BOTTLE OF THE OILS?
There are approximately 250-300 drops of oils in the 15ml bottles and in the 5ml bottles, there are about 85-100 drops.
WHOOPS!! I ENROLLED AS A RETAIL CUSTOMER AND I WANT A STARTER KIT. WHAT DO I DO NOW?
No worries at all! Trust us, you’re not the first person to do that! Just sign up again as a wholesale member, get the Premium Starter kit and then email duplicates@youngliving.com to let them know to delete your Retail Customer account. It’s that easy!
ARE YOUNG LIVING’S PRODUCTS TESTED ON ANIMALS?
Young Living has a policy against testing the efficacy or safety of its products on animals. Young Living’s products are formulated to be safe for nearly all users, and animal testing is neither required nor performed in their product development process.
DOES YOUNG LIVING PRACTICE SUSTAINABLE GROWING METHODS?
Yes, 100%. Young Living is committed to being responsible stewards of the environment and take great care to preserve and protect their planet’s natural resources. These core values are evident in their Seed to Seal® philosophy, which promotes sustainable farming and sourcing practices, while enabling them to produce the purest, most potent essential oils in the world.
DOES YOUNG LIVING USE PESTICIDES?
Young Living does not use pesticides at their farms or their partner farms. Both Young Living’s farm practices and finished products are held to strict standards, and with the measures they have in place, Young Living feels confident that they offer their members the best, purest products available.
ARE ESSENTIAL OILS STILL EFFECTIVE AND SAFE TO USE IF THEY HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE HEAT?
UV exposure will cause the greatest damage to the constituents of essential oils, and heat and light combined will affect them even more quickly. If a package is delivered and sitting on the porch for several hours (or even a few days), but the oils are not directly exposed to UV light, the efficacy of the oils will not be compromised. If the oil is hot, cool it before using. Prolonged exposure to light will cause the oil constituents to change or diminish. Always keep your oils in a dark, cool place.
WHAT TEST DOES YOUNG LIVING CONDUCT ON THEIR ESSENTIAL OILS?
Young Living uses its own internal labs and third-party facilities to verify that Young Living purity and potency standards are met. Each batch of essential oil is sent through six rigorous tests and must meet established quality benchmarks to pass through successfully.
- Mass Spectrometer—Identifies the names of each constituent (plant chemicals) in the oil.
- Gas Chromatograph—Measures the percentage of constituents in the oil.
- Refractive Index—Measures the density of the oil using a concentrated beam of light.
- Specific Gravity—Measures how heavy the oil is as compared to water.
- Flash Point—Ignites the oil and tests it against standard flash temperatures.
- Optical Rotation—Measures the molecular structure of the oil.
Once the tests are complete, the results are compared to the vast library of information Young Living has amassed over 20 years. This library of oil data is unmatched in the industry. If the incoming oils do not meet the established profile, they are rejected and not allowed to be bottled as a Young Living product.
