Gary Young Establishes the YLTG™ Quality Standard

Gary Young established the standard YLTG™ quality, as an assurance that Young Living will only sell 100% pure, natural, uncut oils.

As Gary travelled the world studying the distillation of pure essential oils, he saw wide discrepancies in quality and learned that in order to ensure purity and potency, expert, rigorous analysis of finished oils was critical.

Today, using gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, the phytochemical profile of every batch of Young Living essential oils is measured to evaluate each specific plant compound. Certain plant compounds must meet or exceed specific levels to ensure the oil is natural, and pure. Only then does Young Living guarantee the oil will provide the desired results and label it YLTG.
