Young Living

Young Living Essential Oils is an American multi-level marketing company focused on essential oils, wellness, and related products. Founded in 1993 by D. Gary Young and Mary Young in Spokane, Washington (now headquartered in Lehi, Utah), Young Living claims to be the world's leading essential oil company by number of distributors. The company operates over 14 farms and processing facilities worldwide across the United States, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Idaho, Israel, Japan, Peru, and several other countries. Young Living employs over 3,000 staff and supports approximately 3 million members (distributors and customers) across more than 100 countries. The company's flagship program is the Seed to Seal quality commitment, which encompasses seed selection, cultivation, harvesting, distillation, testing, and sealing of its essential oil products. Young Living's product catalog includes over 600 unique essential oil products, supplements, beauty care, household cleaners, and pet care products. Founder D. Gary Young passed away in 2018, and the company is currently led by CEO Jared Turner. Young Living's annual revenue is estimated to exceed $2 billion, though the company is privately held and does not disclose financials. The company has faced FTC warnings regarding distributor income and health claims. Young Living has an active foundation, the D. Gary Young Young Living Foundation, which supports humanitarian projects in communities where the company sources its ingredients. Distributors earn through retail profit margins, starter kit bonuses, and a tiered commission structure based on organization volume.
