How long will they stay fresh in the refrigerator?
Hey Kaye! The dressings will start separating immediately, so we suggest making it the same day you plan on using it. Also, the recipe doesn’t make a ton of dressing at once, so using it all up and not having to store it will hopefully not be a problem. Thanks for stopping by and hope this helps!
Hi, just wondering if there is an estimated time frame for the original Peace and Calming oil blend to be available for purchase? Thank you❤️
Hi Lori, Unfortunately at this time we do not have an ETA for when Peace and Calming® may be coming back in stock. We recommend checking the Out of Stock list in the Virtual Office for any updates! Thanks for stopping by!

question – the bottle say ‘ not for internal use’ but these are saying okay to put in food… i’m confused
Hello Charlotte, For this recipe, we recommend using our new Vitality line of essential oils which are labeled for dietary use. The Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime and Orange Vitality essential oils are available for purchase in the Virtual Office for the US market. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
Thank you!
Love salad dressing recipes.
I look forward to trying these right away. Thanks for sharing them.
Can you use the non-vitality Young Living oils in these recipes? When will this line become available in Canada?
Hi Laurie, With the same constituents and purity, our Vitality line is labeled for dietary use, while the topical/aromatic line is labeled for topical and aromatic uses. We recommend following the usage directions on each individual product label. We are working to get each of the Vitality essential oils available for purchase in Canada. We apologize, at this time we do not have an estimated date of availability. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
Thank you this answered my thoughts about the difference between Vitality and topical oils.
