Seed to Seal Science Pillar Question of the Day
Q: Does Young Living test essential oils from other companies?
A: Yes. Young Living R&D periodically purchases essential oils that are for sale at retail stores, online/Internet stores, etc. to help us understand and evaluate the quality of products available on the market, and to confirm our position as the World Leader in Essential Oils. We test the oils in our R&D and Quality Control (QC) laboratories and compare the results against both our #youngliving #seedtoseal quality specifications and an authentic Seed to Seal essential oil standard.
For example, we purchased two #peppermint essential oils from different retail brands. The first bottle was labeled as mentha piperita, "100% pure essential oil", and "GC/MS tested". The second bottle was also listed as mentha piperita, for aromatherapy use, and an "essential oil blend".
What we found:
▪️ Both samples failed several peppermint specifications
▪️ Retail 2 sample failed aroma testing
▪️ Both samples failed high for lead content
▪️ Retail 2 sample failed high for arsenic
▪️ Both samples likely included adulteration with corn mint
Your takeaways:
▪️ GC/MS testing alone is not indicative of essential oil quality
▪️ Heavy metal testing is an important quality test
▪️ An essential oil purchase should not be based solely on price
▪️ Seed to Seal results in quality products supported by #laboratory #testing
Did you know that our Young Living Quality Control laboratory conducted over 315,000 tests on our essential oils in 2021? We #testandverify every lot of #yleo premium essential oils to ensure you can trust every bottle. #WeAreYL

In my earlier post about the test results of a few retail essential oil samples, Janey Blaine Goude asked the question, "What exactly qualifies as a “pass” for the odor testing?"
Here's a guide for how you can improve your ability to evaluate an essential oil aroma:
Our #qualitycontrol (QC) laboratory uses a Standard Test Method (STM) for odor/aroma evaluation to ensure the testing is conducted the same way each time. A trained QC analyst uses a few key tools:
▪️ Seed to Seal Standard Ampule for that essential oil (see the attached video of our Ampulmatic that fills and seals glass ampules used to store Seed to Seal standards). Note: At home, use a #YL bottle of that oil as your standard.
▪️ Aroma Strips, dip only ~1/4" (a few millimeters) into the oil and wipe away excess oil before smelling
▪️ Coffee beans, coffee grounds, or other methods to clear the palate between samples
Use of an aroma strip is key to the evaluation process. An oil may smell different if smelling the top of a bottle (the headspace) versus an aroma strip and experiencing all of the oil constituents (not just the lighter compounds).
Another key (experienced essential oil users know this) is to allow for variability (also known as seasonal variation) since each plant harvest will smell different based on changing growing conditions (temperature, precipitation, etc.). Not every sample will match the aroma standard exactly. In fact if every batch of an essential oil smells the same EVERY SINGLE TIME, it's possible that the oil is not authentic.
Some conditions that will cause an odor evaluation "fail":
1. Missing key aroma notes versus the standard
2. A pungent or chemical smell (acid, sour, bitter, solvent, etc.)
3. Burnt, charred or smoky smell that could be caused by too high a temperature while distilling, or distilling plant material too long
Some additional tips:
▪️ Make sure you are in a location as free as possible from other stimuli. Keep light, sound, airflow, temperature, etc. as consistent as possible.
▪️ Close your eyes and try removing other sensory stimuli
▪️ Avoid wearing other essential oils, cologne or perfume while testing
▪️ Keep aroma testing of each sample brief to not over stimulate your senses
Does this process sound like a lot of work? Imagine conducting THOUSANDS of aroma tests like our trained Young Living QC scientists do. That's the dedication they bring to ensuring you receive Young Living Essential Oils that meet our Seed to Seal quality commitment!
