Now, enough of the details! Let’s get on to the good stuff and talk about your goodies!

Whichever of our hundreds of products you purchased first, we know you will love your experience. Your oil or oil-infused item is backed by a Seed to Seal promise and power-packed with plant-based goodness.

When you go to the Resources tab here in your app, you will find a category that is “Product Spotlights.” This is a great place to begin learning or you can simply type the product you want to research into the search bar at the top! We are constantly adding new information to give you all the info and uses we possibly can so you get the results you’re looking for.

We’d love to show you some of our favorites! The TOP 10 products purchased by our customers are the following:

There isn’t a person in the world who can’t use our products, and we don’t want you to miss a thing! If you have a need, we’ve got a solution.

You are going to love getting to know the amazing people and support that came with your purchase. So much better than buying off a shelf and having to go it alone, a Young Living purchase means you have a team committed to your education and the safe and effective use of your products. Make sure to plug into groups, events, and emails offered! As a community and here in your handy app, there are a few things you won’t find us doing for your safety and protection:

We can't cure.
We can't treat.
We can't diagnose.
We can't prescribe.

But that's actually really good news! Why? Because it helps us to focus on roots, causes, and holistic health instead of symptoms and bandaids. It also helps us to remember that we're not all the same. There's no “one size fits all” when it comes to health.

We are all the product of different habits, experiences, and backgrounds. In the same way, our health care should be tailored to our daily needs.

Enter oils. You will even see several of them such as lavender, peppermint, or lemon on both lists of oils that stimulate and oils that relax! Depending on what your body needs, they will simply come alongside your natural defenses and processes to strengthen and support whatever your body determines itself to need.

As you're learning about oils, begin asking yourself, not how can I fix this problem temporarily but why does this health problem exist in the first place? What could I do long term that would put my body in a prime state of health where temporary bandages and fixes weren't required? This is what we call supporting our body systems. We're checking our oil and filling up with gas BEFORE the car is in dire need of repair. We're living far away from disease by the best prevention of all, a healthy, nourished, responsive body.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

There are a lot of Young Living products. And it can feel overwhelming knowing how to get started. Don’t worry. There are two great resources where you can get all your questions answered:

  • The Life Steps “Let’s Talk Oils” Course
    • This course will walk you through how to use your oils starting with the kit you ordered. You’ll learn about the different ways to apply your products, how to blend them, and some common uses for popular products.
  • Your Young Living Essential Oils Guide
    • The online Essential Oils Guide is a complete library of information on Young Living products. Go even deeper into specific uses and applications of all of your products.

Ahhhh diffusing. A literal breath of fresh air for your space!

If you ordered the Premium Starter kit, then you have everything you need to get started! If you didn’t, don’t fret. You can find decent diffusers online or at places like Target to use with your oils! (And if you ordered something besides oils, keep reading and file this info til you order some oils!)

Diffusing is an incredible health habit! Not only will your home, office or car smell amazing, you can support specific needs or body systems at the same time! Needing some respiratory TLC? Give your space spa vibes and open your airways with Eucalyptus, Lemon and Lavender. Feeling a little stressed? Break out the Peace & Calming or Stress Away. Having troubling calming your thoughts before bed? Cedarwood and Lavender will transform your room into a zen space.

To diffuse you just need a diffuser, your favorite essential oils, and water! Add water to the fill line on the diffuser. Depending on the diffuser you have, then add 8-12 drops (Desert Mist) or 15-20 drops (Aria) of essential oil to the water. Replace the cover, turn it on and you’re all set!

A simple workaround when you don’t have a diffuser is to add a couple drops of your favorite oil(s) to a cotton ball and place it wherever you think it would best disperse the scent. We love to place them under seats in the car or in an air vent!

There are SO many great diffuser blends in this app! You can search by oil, by need or by season, and you are sure to find some that you will love.

Find some of our favorite diffuser blends in the 'Related Resources' section below.

There are so many ways to use essential oils in your home and in your everyday life! One of the easiest ways to use them is to apply them to your skin.

You can apply oils to your skin simply by dropping them into your palm, adding a carrier oil (if needed/desired), and rubbing the mixture on the desired area! You can also use glass bottles with roller tops to make custom roller blends (a fun way to make personal favorites or blends for specific needs!).

Carrier oils are simply inert oils that you can mix with the essential oils to dilute them. We like the V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex from Young Living. You can also use jojoba, argan, fractionated coconut or coconut oil to apply oils topically.

Each bottle has a dilution ratio right on it! Most say 1 drop of essential oil to 1 drop of carrier oil. When it comes to using oils on little ones, here are Young Living's recommended dilution ratios:

  • Ages 0-1: 8 drops carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil; if no adverse reaction, try 7 drops carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil
  • Ages 2-6: 3 drops carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil
  • Ages 7-11: 1 drop carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil
  • Ages 12+: use at full labeled concentration

For more check out this Guide to Diluting Oils for Kids & Babies.

You can also make roller blends using empty glass roller bottles. For a 10mL roller, we generally add 50-75 drops total of essential oil, depending on the oil(s) used. For some of our favorite roller blends, search ‘Roller Blends’ in the search bar!

Some essential oils have a white label to designate them as Vitality oils - those that are labeled to ingest!

As far as the oil itself, the Vitality oils and regular oils are actually the same. So if you have a bottle of Thieves Vitality it can be used identically to the brown bottle of Thieves essential oil.

The labeling difference is due to an FDA designation that the oils need to be registered separately as a supplement for internal use (white Vitality labels) and a topical/aromatic use (colored labels) for diffusing and application. BUT the oil inside the bottle is exactly the same.

A few quick and easy ways to use Vitality Oils:

  • Add a drop or two of citrus essential oil to water to make every sip satisfying.
  • Put a few drops of essential oil into a vegetable capsule and take with water as you would a dietary supplement.
  • Add essential oils to give your favorite dishes an array of rich, unique flavors.
  • Drop Vitality oils directly onto or under your tongue!

If there were one product or product line we could choose to give everyone it would be the Thieves Product Line! Young Living has an entire set of home and personal care products infused with this crowd favorite essential oil.

Why Thieves you ask? This powerhouse blend of Clove, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon Bark and Rosemary is a legendary combination of germ-fighting power. A quick PubMed search on any of these oils will tell you all you need to know! For now, here are our top 3 Thieves products (read: get these three in your home asap!):

  1. Thieves Household Cleaner One cleaner to rule them all, this one bottle of concentrate makes 22 bottles of everyday cleaner and can be used to clean the entire house. (Yep, you read that right, the WHOLE house.)
  2. Thieves Laundry Soap The laundry room may be one of the most toxic places in a home - full of fragrances and harsh surfactants that can leave skin irritated and sensitive. Switching to a natural laundry routine can make a big difference! Thieves Laundry Soap is tough on stains but not on your skin.
  3. Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub This plant-powered scrub is a crowd favorite for good reason. Whenever you need a little extra elbow grease (hello caked on oven grease), this scrub is your friend.

Did you know that Young Living has an incredible, extensive supplement line? YL can literally be your one stop shop for wellness, which we love because we all need an easy button!

One of the biggest changes you can make for overall health and longevity is with your supplement routine. Supplements that are infused with essential oils are a HUGE win. Essential oils improve absorption, assimilation within the body and utilization of all the amazing vitamins, minerals and herbs that we are ingesting with supplements.

In fact, Young Living did a study with MultiGreens capsules (an incredible supplement of nutrient-dense greens that is amazing for energy and vitality!) - a formula with essential oils and one without. The formula that contained essential oils had a much better absorption rate -- 64% in the first half hour alone, and 86% within just one hour!

Young Living carries general supplements (B complex, vitamins C and D, probiotics for adults and kids) as well as targeted supplements for specific needs (thyroid, prostate, heart and bone/joint health). There is something for everyone here!

So ditch the drugstore varieties for oil-infused ones! Not sure where to start? Look at what you’re using and what you could switch out to a YL version - probiotic, Vitamin C, mineral drops, etc. and switch them out!

If you’re new to supplements or a more natural lifestyle, it can feel overwhelming when looking at all the options. So, take a deep breath and know that we have got you covered! That is what this app is here for!

If we were to start at square one with supplements or were switching over to YL ones, this is where we would start:

  • Life 9 Probiotic: Almost all health experts will agree that gut health is the key to overall health, so adding a high quality, diverse probiotic to your routine is a wonderful way to boost your health! Life 9 features a blend of probiotics that have been studied to work well together for daily gut support.
  • Super B: This B complex tablet is your energy BFF. Our modern lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to support that system!
  • Sulfurzyme: Available in powder (our favorite!) or capsules, this wolfberry and MSM supplement cna benefit SO many things - hair, skin, muscles, joints, and overall health.

If you don’t know already, we are crazy about NingXia Red. Use this incredible supplement for 30 consecutive days and you'll see why! Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Yep. Yet we often expect our bodies to run on second-rate, processed, non-fuel. We get worn out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia gives our bodies the boost that we need!

Ningxia Red is a powerful antioxidant supplement drink made from wolfberry puree, blueberry, plum, cherry, aronia, and pomegranate juices, grape seed extract, Yuzu, Tangerine, Lemon and Orange essential oils, stevia and pure vanilla extract.

Besides its great taste, NingXia Red has some amazing health benefits! It is the highest known protection against the dangerous superoxide free radicals, supports healthy energy levels, provides absorbable nutrients to the body and can help with sugar cravings!

In short, NingXia Red is one supplement you want to add to your daily routine. We’ll tell you exactly how to do that to get the most benefit a little bit later!

Did you know that Young Living has a line of 0.0%THC CBD products that are infused with essential oils?! Well they do, and they are absolutely incredible!

Nature’s Ultra, a company 100% owned by Young Living, extracts pure CBD and combines it with the best essential oils in the marketplace using an exclusive “Smart Spectrum” formula that’s backed by the Young Living Seed to Seal promise. Smart Spectrum technology blends the CBD isolate with terpenes (a specific constituent) from essential oils to make a CBD product that is broader and more robust. In short, we get a product that is superior to anything else on the market!

We won’t get too into the details here, but CBD can be used for a vast array of needs - from inflammation to respiratory health to emotional support - and is popular for acute needs especially.

Young Living has multiple Nature’s Ultra CBD products available:

  • Cinnamon, Citrus or Cool Mint CBD Oil
    • These essential oil infused CBD drops are a great way to get CBD into the body quickly for the best results. You can use these oils topically, and many people ingest them as well.
  • CBD Muscle Rub
    • Whether it’s going to the gym, hiking or lifting and carrying children all day, our muscles and joints need a little TLC. This essential oil infused CBD can help soothe away all the stress! Infused with Camphor, Clove, Helichrysum, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Wintergreen, and more, this CBD muscle rub will definitely help melt away all the tension.
  • Calm CBD Roll-on
    • This ‘zen in a bottle’ roll-on is perfect for creating a peaceful environment, helping calm the mind and wind down at bedtime. CBD infused with eucalyptus, frankincense, lavender, orange, vetiver, and ylang ylang creates the most relaxing, calming yet uplifting environment.
  • Soothe CBD Roll-on
    • CBD infused with eucalyptus is a wonderful way to give your airways a little TLC! We love to roll this blend over the neck and chest or even on the bottom of the feet and breathe in deeply.
  • CBD Beauty Boost
    • We’ll talk more about this incredible skin serum tomorrow, but for now add this to your ‘to order’ list! Beauty Boost is the ultimate in daily luxe and rivals any high end skin serum.

When we mentioned Young Living being a one stop shop for wellness, we weren’t lying. In addition to oils, home cleaning products, and supplements, Young Living also carries a personal care line - for adults, children, and even infants!

Have you heard the term ‘greenwashing'? It is when companies throw catch phrases or use eco-friendly looking packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when what they are buying isn't natural at all.

Unfortunately the majority of the ‘natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Young Living cleaning and personal care products! No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals here - just the power of plants - so we can feel good about the products we’re using!

As you explore the app and the YL site, you’ll definitely find your own favorites. To get you started with ideas, here are our top three for personal care!

  • Thieves Foaming Hand Soap:
    • Thieves is a household staple when it comes to household cleaning, so the Thieves Foaming Hand Soap is our go-to! This soap is infused with the germ-fighting power of Thieves essential oil, so you get clean, fresh hands without harsh ingredients.
  • Lavender Bath & Shower Gel:
    • Bath & Body Works has nothing on this fan favorite. Formulated with plant-based cleansers, this bath gel gently cleanses away dirt and impurities, leaving your skin feeling clean, moisturized, and soft (and smelling incredible).
  • CBD Beauty Boost:
    • Say hello to your new daily luxe! This skincare serum rivals any high end beauty serum when it comes to achieving results, but it is powered solely by plants! This combination of pure CBD, tamanu oil, grape seed oil, and rose essential oil is so luxurious that each dropperful contains the essential oils from one full Damask rose!

When it comes to taking care of our families, having safe, effective products for our children is one of our biggest goals. So many members have begun their Young Living journey because of a desire to have natural options for their growing families, which is why Young Living created the KidScents line! Each product in this line is created specifically for children, using safe and effective ingredients that their growing bodies need.

The KidScents collection includes everything your little ones need - oils, supplements and personal care items!

  • KidScents Oils & Roll-ons:
    • SleepyIze: for healthy, happy sleep
    • SniffleEase: for happy noses
    • TummyGize: for happy bellies
    • GeneYus: for happy school and homework time
    • Owie: for soothing boo-boos
    • KidPower: for calm, happy emotions
  • KidScents Toothpaste, Shampoo, Conditioner, Bath Gel & Lotion
  • KidScents supplements:
    • MightyPro: a kid-friendly probiotic
    • MightyVites: a daily vitamin for little ones
    • MightyZymes: chewable enzymes for healthy digestion
    • Unwind: a tasty powder supplement to support healthy sleep

But Young Living doesn’t stop there. They also have a line of products that are safe and effective for the tiniest family members. Say hello to the Seedlings baby line!

  • Seedlings Baby Wash
  • Seedlings Lotion
  • Seedlings Baby Oil
  • Seedlings Wipes
  • Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream
  • Seedlings Linen Spray

If you want to switch out your kids’ products, but don't know where to start or are feeling the overwhelm, we’ve got you! Choose three things to switch out right now - toothpaste, multivitamin and probiotic - and one oil to add to your routine - SleepyIze - while you build your wellness cabinet!

So you’ve been following along this course and now have a large wishlist of Young Living products. How are we going to get those in your home without breaking the bank?! Let’s talk about one of our favorite things. Transfer buying.

Transfer buying is simply moving something from one place in your budget to another. You’re already buying shampoo at Target and first aid items at the pharmacy, so just move that over to your Young Living order instead! This makes your purchases intentional and cost effective. The beauty is in the simplicity!

Here’s an example. You run to Target and spend $100 on personal care items. Move that $100 over to Young Living and purchase:

  • Lavender Bath & Shower Gel
  • Lavender Hand & Body Lotion
  • Thieves Foaming Hand Soap
  • KidScents Toothpaste
  • Insect Repellant Wipes All for the same amount of money! But you also get 10-25% back in points towards other Young Living products. No other store has ever given me 25% back!

You get high quality, healthy products for your family that you can feel good about without breaking the budget. Plus, instead of ending up with 12 different bottles of cleaners and soaps under your counter you have one bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner and a Thieves Foaming Hand Soap Refill. One bottle to rule them all!

And when you transfer your purchases over to Young Living you can receive free products
ANDearn product credits for more free products! We’ll touch on that tomorrow.

For now, grab your grocery list and see what on there you can transfer to your Young Living order!

If you like making life simpler, saving money, getting free products and a good discount, then this is for you! Say hello to Loyalty Rewards. When you order your YL favorites via the Loyalty Rewards program, you can earn reward points that work like product credits, gain access to exclusive oils, save money and have it all show up at your doorstep whenever you want. If that isn’t an easy button, we don’t know what is!

Let’s walk through a quick rundown of the what, why and how of Loyalty Rewards…

  • What: a customizable monthly auto-ship option for ordering Young Living products (aka your easy button for one stop shopping!)
  • Why: makes life easier, 50PV+ orders get points to use like product credits, and orders of 100PV+ earn free products through the Gift with Purchase each month!
  • How: edit the items in your cart each month, change the processing date and shipping options to customize your Loyalty Rewards orders to meet your needs!

All it takes is a few minutes to get started with Loyalty Rewards! Here's the whole process in three easy steps:

  • Step 1: Add products to your cart using the Add to Cart button on the product pages.
  • Step 2: During checkout, you'll see an option that says, “Would you like to make this your first loyalty order?” Select “Yes” and all items in your cart will process today for loyalty points, and any Loyalty Rewards-eligible items will appear in your My Loyalty Order tab once your order processes. There is no minimum PV required, but at least one item that is eligible for Loyalty Rewards must be in your cart in order to enroll.
  • Step 3: Manage your items in your My Loyalty Order tab for next month by adding, deleting, or moving items into Saved for Later before your next process date. Orders process at midnight the night before so make sure to finalize your order the day before it processes.

What if we told you that you were able to get hundreds of dollars worth of free essential oils or Young Living products just for purchasing things you’d be buying elsewhere (toothpaste, shampoo, supplements, etc.)? Sounds amazing right? Well, it’s completely true!

Every month this generous company loads us up with free items simply for being loyal customers. We purchase items we'd be buying anyway - lotion, bath gel, hand soap, cleaning supplies, etc - from Young Living, and we not only get amazing, high quality products that are safe for our families, we get free products and delivery to our doorstep. Plus if you order on Loyalty Rewards with a 50PV or more order, you also get points back to use like product credits!

The fun freebies are different every month, so look out for the monthly Gift with Purchase resource here in the app! We will break down what items are free, how to use them and how to qualify for the freebies each and every month. It’s like getting birthday presents every month!

Go to the 'Announcements' category in Resources to see this month's Gifts with Purchase.

You love your Young Living products. Your friends and family have started to ask you some questions about the oils they keep seeing in your diffuser or about which ‘perfume' you're wearing. And now you are curious about how this whole making money with Young Living thing works. Whether you’re wanting to share an affiliate link here and there or start your own business, have you covered!

First thing to know:

You need to be a brand partner to be eligible for commission. To become a brand partner you just need to order a business essentials kit and sign the brand partner agreement. The business essentials kit is super affordable (less than $20) and then you will be all set up to receive commissions.

Bonuses to know about:

  • Starter Bundle Bonus: Whenever you refer someone who orders a Starter Bundle, you will earn a $25 bonus. Check out the resource linked below to check out the Starter Bundles on the list!
  • Fast Start Bonus: This is a big one! You get 50% commission on anything your new customer orders in their very first month. Then you get 25% commission on anything they order in months 2-3. This can add up quickly! you need to be commission qualified to receive the bonuses on month 2-3

How to be commission qualified:

  • All USA brand partners have a monthly 100 CV requirement for rank and commission qualification. Customer Volume (CV) is any combination of volume from front-line (sponsored) customers and/or a brand partner's personal purchases (PV).
  • In simple terms: You need to either order 100pv or more on your personal order each month OR have customers on your first level that have ordered a combination of 100pv or more. Or a combo of the two! YL keeps it really easy in your virtual office (your business website) and will show you once you are commission qualified each month!

After the ‘fast start' period is over you will continue to make a percentage of whatever that customer orders as long as you are commission qualified. The percentage depends on where they are in your organization as you continue to build your business. The percentage ranges between 8% and 4%.

As you continue to refer people you can be eligible for even more commission and bonuses as you hit certain ranks. So you have even more to look forward to in the future!
