Young Living History and Accomplishments
Young Living is the original essential oil marketing company. For 25 years we’ve inspired wellness, purpose, and abundance by distilling nature’s greatest gifts into high-quality essential oils. As the industry leader, we set the standard with our proprietary
Seed to Seal® quality commitment. These guiding principles help Young Living protect the planet and provide pure, authentic products that our members can feel confident about using and sharing with friends and family.
1. Founded in 1994, we’ve been an essential oil and network marketing leader for 25 years.
Discover who we are.
In 1989 Young Living Founder D. Gary Young planted his first lavender seeds on a quarter acre in Spokane, Washington. Five years later Gary and Mary Young moved their company, Young Living Essential Oils, to Riverton, Utah, then to its permanent home in Lehi, Utah. Fueled by a growing demand for high-quality essential oils, Young Living designed and built the largest, most technologically advanced essential oil distillery in North America and currently has many corporate-owned and partner farms across the globe. The company has since grown to become the world leader in essential oils and wellness solutions.
