Young Living oils are what I call “Beyond Organic” which not only meets the sometimes questionably regulated and varying worldwide standards of certiification but goes beyond that. The farm where I buy my milk and beef is not certified organic but I see it for myself and can ask the farmer any question I want. I put that FAR above buying a gallon of mass produced organic milk in the store. Having visited several of Young Living’s farms, the standard there is hard to believe. That transparency matters more to me than these small farmers having to spend all of their earnings to achieve a certification not even available in certain parts of the world and situations.
