Young Living Essential Oils Purity and Quality: A Unique Distillation Process

Even slight variations in essential oil distillation can result in a dramatic reduction of quality. That’s why after extensive research of modern and ancient distillation techniques, Young Living developed a specialized process that uses extremely low pressure and low temperatures. Young Living’s specially designed vertical distilleries are constructed of food-grade, nonferrous Distilling-Process-Oil

stainless steel that doesn’t react with essential oils the way other metals do. Once harvested, Young Living plants are properly placed and compressed in distilling chambers. Then, softened, purified steam rises through the fresh herbs, releasing the essential oils into the vapor. Long tubes extending from the top of the steel chamber allow the vapor to condense back into oil-infused water.

The water, which contains the essential oil, collects into glass separating chambers. Here, the essential oil floats upward and collects on top of the water. Once the oil separates from the water, any solids precipitate and settle. The oil is then poured into large, glass-lined containers or dark glass bottles.
