You aren\u2019t the first to wonder why some essential oils can be so expensive. Anyone starting out has compared prices and asked why the essential oil prices on the market vary so much. You may have even seen lower-priced essential oils in your local grocery store and wondered how they compare to Young Living\u2019s premium essential oils with their Seed to Seal\u00ae quality commitment. Is the price difference worth it when it comes to the quality of the oils?<\/strong> <\/span>Let\u2019s talk about why the answer is a major YES and what factors contribute to the cost of essential oils. And speaking of budget-friendly oils, you\u2019ll also find a list of Young Living\u2019s top oils that cost under $30.<\/p>\n<\/div> Essential oils sell at various price points. Many factors contribute to why some are more expensive than others. These factors include the ease of harvesting the plant, botanical amount needed to produce the oil, plant time sensitivity, purity of the oil, rarity of the plant, shipping costs, and more.<\/p>\n Some plants produce less oil than others when distilled. As a result, more of some plants are needed to produce the same amount of oil. For example, a quality Rose<\/a> essential oil is very valuable due to all the effort it takes to cultivate the flowers and all the raw botanical material it takes to produce the final product. It takes approximately 5,000 painstakingly harvested pounds of fresh rose petals to make just one pint, or 16 ounces, of Rose essential oil. A 5 ml bottle of this oil is 0.17 fluid ounces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>![\"Premier](\"https:\/\/www.youngliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Premier-Aroma-Collection-Beauty1-e1643825857473.jpg\" "\\"PremierAromaCollection\\"")
