Young Living uses extensive testing in their own labs as well as third-party facilities to ensure the highest purity and potency standards are met and exceeded with every bottle. Each batch goes through 6 specific tests to gauge quality, and must meet established benchmarks to be judged ready to go to market.

  • 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.
