Quality starts at the farm and is proven in Young Living labs. Through their stringent, unyielding quality benchmarks, Young Living are able to identify the most pure, genuine, and effective ingredients.
The Young Living Quality Control Team uses a battery of physical, chemical, and microbiological scientific tests to measure the exact components and properties of the essential oils we love so much.
Each test is repeated numerous times during the quality process. Testing begins at Young Living farms and continues all the way through the final stages prior to shipment to our customers.
Our team of highly trained, highly skilled scientists perform state-of-the-art tests, including but not limited to:
• Densitometry
• Viscometry
• Refractometry
• Polarimetry
• Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
• Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES)
• Gas Chromatography (GC)
• High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
• Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
• Automated Micro-Enumeration
• Disintegration
• pH
• Microscopy
• Combustibility
• Flash Point
• Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)
• Chiral Chromatography
• Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS)
While their labs can conduct all of these tests, they routinely use their third-party labs to supplement their internal testing.
Each of these labs have highly skilled and trained scientists.
