I’ve been using essential oils for years. Long before they became trendy and popular like they are today. It all started when I met my husband, who was pill adverse. Not only was he the typical male that avoid all medicine, but also he didn't want them anywhere in the house. He had done enough research and studies that linked common medicines to harming our bodies and it didn't stop there.
He had researched it all. The toxins and chemicals in our farming industry, the negative effects of sugar and processed foods, the air quality reduction from candles... all of it. Over time, it completely freaked me out that every time I thought I was doing something simple like cleaning, I was actually exposing by myself to toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
So is it just hype? A fad?
It feels like everyone from the grocery store to gas station is offering “essential oils” these days so why should we even care about Young Living? Aren’t they one of those MLM things? Aren't MLMs "bad", "pushy", and basically "terrible"?
Yet why is everyone talking about Young Living?
I couldn’t help but think maybe I judged Young Living a little too harshly simply based on the fact that they were a multi-level marketing company. So I did what I do best and I began doing research on Young Living. I researched the oils. I researched the company. And what I discovered ultimately convinced me to become a Young Living wholesale member. It wasn’t just one thing that convinced me though. It was eight things. Keep reading to find out what they are.
Two Main Reasons
The two main reasons people choose Young Living is because of the quality of essential oils and because they enable the average person to live a toxin-free lifestyle without sacrificing a ton of time researching which products are safe.
As the world leader in essential oils, we believe that everyone deserves a life full of abundance and wellness. Our vision is to bring the life-changing benefits of essential oils to every home, family, and lifestyle.
Young Living’s story started more than 20 years ago with a simple, home-built essential oil distillery. Today, our farms and community span the globe. Because of our proven commitment to provide nature’s best, millions trust us to deliver superior essential oils.
Seed-to-Seal
The Seed-to-Seal promise is something that sounds a little gimmicky but in truth, it is one of the biggest draws to Young Living for our family.
Not all essential oils are created equally. Young Living will never knowingly compromise by adding synthetics, contaminants, or cheap fillers, or by using unethical production practices. Young Living Chief Supply Officer Lauren Walker guides the process of sourcing products from carefully vetted corporate-owned farms, partner farms, and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers and testing them extensively. If our exhaustive tests show that a product doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t buy it, or we reject the batch.
With the know-your-farmer luxury become more prevalent, Young Living plays well in this space. Owning their farms and never buying from brokers, Young Living serves their customers with only the best plants.
How can you know for sure?
Walk onto any of the farms any day of the week and see for yourself. You will not find this with any other essential oil company around, but Young Living has nothing to hide. Young Living owns and operates over 12 farms and distilleries across the globe. And anyone can visit the Young Living farms and participate in the harvest & distillation process. I think that is cool!
You’ll see only essential oils being mixed together to spray the plants to deter pests. You can watch only Non-GMO seeds planted into good, healthy, well-loved soil. You can even plant some yourself! They’ll take you through the fields, and you can see how they harvest. You’ll be lead into the distillery where you can watch with your own eyes how Young Living puts out only first-batch distilled oils, never adding anything to them, and sealing them up right in front of you.
That’s a big draw, especially for people like me who are sick of being lied to by every company out there just trying to earn a buck no matter what it does to our family’s health.
Not only is Young Living helping the world become less toxic one home at a time but they also give back on a global scale through the Young Living Foundation. The foundation’s goal is to bring pure essential oils to every home in the world. They’re actively working towards this goal in many different ways, several which include the following...
- Donating products to Young Living members holding fundraisers, events to raise awareness, and overseas missions
- Sponsoring auctions, events, and fundraisers hosted by members
- Donating to domestic and global organizations
- Partnering with non-profit organizations from Croatia to Uganda
- Running the foundation’s flagship project, the Young Living Academy in Chongon, Ecuador
Young Living Essential oils covers all the administrative costs of the foundation as well. You can learn more about the foundation here.
And don’t even get me started on how generous they are to their members who are actively pursuing the Young Living business opportunity. Not only can you make a significant income with Young Living but they also offer many bonuses and rewards when different ranks are achieved, such as free products and recognition retreats.
Toxin-Free Products
Young Living is so beloved because the products they sell are 100% safe for use without harming our bodies.
A quick trip around the house with the ewg.org app or website will show you that no one else in the personal care, laundry, cleaning, or beauty industries care about you the way Young Living does, and that’s a comfort we are blessed with every day. We also use the Think Dirty app on a regular basis while we are on the go to help us make smart choices for our family and remind us daily why Young Living is such an amazing option to keep us toxin free.
It is also amazing to see all that they offer.
Young Living doesn’t just sell oils. They sell toothpaste, deodorant, make up, diffusers and sooo much more! They sell so many amazing products that you won’t find anywhere else. These items are non-toxic and made with essential oils. I’m obsessed with their Thieves cleaner and also their Ningxia Red drink. Young Living has made it so simple to start ditching and switching toxins out of your home by creating these products for you. The wholesale membership is 100% worth it just to get a discount on all these wonderful products!
Pet care, baby care, kids’ care, personal products, makeup, nutrition, supplements, even cookware and more.
It’s a wonderful feeling to be so secure in knowing every time I buy what we need, I’m voting with my dollars. I’m saying to the world, I vote safety and health first; in fact, I demand it for the people I love most in this world.
Discounts and Loyalty
Young Living is constantly trying to find ways to share it’s appreciation for its customers.
I don’t know about you, but I love Target. I love Target even more when I snag a Cartwheel coupon for 10% plus my RedCard for another 5% off! Young Living, on the other hand, starts by giving a 24% discount, which you can get two different ways. You saw that right 24% off!!
1. Premium Starter Kit
This kit cuts the cost in half of all that comes in it while getting people the jumpstart they need toward living a healthier life and ditching all the disease-causing products in their homes. The best part about it is that not all oils work the exact same way for everybody. Our littlest, Lillie, loves to fall asleep with Lavender in her diffuser. Me? I adore Valor. And Ollie needs Peppermint and Lemon to keep his respiratory system supported all night long during the sniffly seasons.
For $165, you get 12 essential oils/oil blends, a diffuser, samples of a super juice drink (Ningxia Red), and a sample of household cleaner (Thieves Household Cleaner) that got rid of 12 different toxic bottles in our home personally–there’s not a better deal out there! There is a great array of oils to try and mix, and learn about how to incorporate them in your every day life!
Read more about each item in the kit here.
2. Basic Starter Kit
This kit is a simple start but still comes with the discount at only $45.
You’ll get an oil blend called Stress Away, the super juice sample, and household cleaner sample as well.
People who already have a very specific list of oils and products they are ready to switch out often time choose this option so they can build their own kit from the start.
Either way you choose, you’ll get the discount and the opportunity to get even more back with Essential Rewards wellness box.
Essential Rewards
When I first began using essential oils, I was kind of shocked to discover how expensive some oils were. Once I learned how the oils were obtained and the large amount of plant material it took to make one small bottle, I understood why some oils were so expensive. Never the less I needed to figure out a way to continue buying oils without going broke because this mama is always on a budget. Young Living’s Essential Rewards program was the answer.
Essential Rewards is an awesome monthly subscription wellness box that you customize with Young Living products to be delivered to your door on a specific date you choose. With every Essential Rewards order you earn a percentage back in points which can be redeemed for Young Living products. The percentage you earn back depends on how long you’ve been enrolled in the program. You can also receive additional free products depending on your monthly purchase total.
So when we started out with our monthly wellness box, we budgeted $50 per month to replacing all of our toxin junk in our home for Young Living’s safe products. It was an easy decision because as we switched and ditched products along the way, I was spending far less than I was just at the grocery store. Think about?! Cleaners. Make-up. Medicines. Those things don't come cheap at Target... and Young Living was additionally giving me money back!
It’s amazing and by far, my monthly wellness box is my favorite part of being with Young Living.
I order what our family needs. They give me a percentage up to 25% (I now earn 25% and it’s wonderful!) back on my monthly purchases, and they give me free product for being a loyal customer!
So it has been an easy decision for us... Each month, we get over $200 worth of free product, 25% back on our purchases, and a 24% discount. Then I get to use our money back on fun new make-up items, skin care, and fancier oils to make toxin free perfume.
Since I now even participate in Young Living’s Referral Program, the money I spend never comes out of our family’s budget because I am just spending our referral bonus money!
Recap
Besides being the best products on the planet, I’m impressed every day by how generous Young Living is.
I am so grateful for their business opportunity so I can get everything I need for my family without spending a dime. I hope these points listed above really help you to see how unique and special Young Living is. There really isn’t any other essential oil company out there that is like them or has as much to offer.
