Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 2 ways to order YLEO's:
1) Retail - directly from Young Living's website or some stores like People's Pharmacy in Austin, Texas carry a few of the more popular oils & products.
2) Wholesale - 24% off Retail & the ability to refer friends & get a “thank you” check for just sharing something you love but NO requirement to do so. The only requirement to get a wholesale account is to purchase a “starter kit”. Spend 50 PV which is typical $50 every year or your account goes inactive...& if that happens you just place a min. $50 order but you do not have to get a starter kit again. A Young Living Wholesale Membership (Basic Starter Kit is $45 to the Premium Starter Kit (PSK) with the Aria diffuser for $260...but my favorite is the PSK with the Dewdrop or Desert Mist Diffuser + 12 Oils & some other goodies for $165) There are several more starter kit options like the Thieves or Savvy Mineral make up starter kit but $45-$260 is the price range. Check Young Living’s website for more details on all the starter kit options or contact me for questions.
What’s the benefit of a Wholesale Membership?
You receive 24% off retail prices (Like a wholesale buyers club – Sam’s or Costco but your membership is only purchased once in a lifetime and you get the most amazing starter kit for your membership!
Does having a wholesale membership obligate me to purchase monthly?
No way. You purchase whenever you want. There is no obligated minimum monthly purchase. Your membership belongs to you. It’s your account to be used as you wish. With a Young Living membership you purchase oils at a discount (always).
Is there a way to save even more money?
Some people who purchase YL products regularly (like me) ;) join the optional Essential Rewards program. Essential Rewards is Young Living’s Frequent Flyer program. Since I've been on the ER program for over a year I get 25% "back" in points on most products to use on future orders! Score! Also each month YL has a different "promotion" that qualifies you based on your order amount for free product! Double score! Now you know why I don't mind "ordering" a few products hear and there for friends who are local. But seriously, if you are going to use the products often anyway, why not reap some of those rewards too!
Here’s how Young Living’s Essential Rewards program works:
Purchase $50 minimum of different essential oil products each month & earn points based on the following:
You will receive points based on a percentage of your PV for each Essential Rewards order. The percentage you receive depends on how many months you have consecutively placed Essential Rewards orders.
1–3 months: 10 % of each Essential Rewards order PV
4–24 months: 20 % of each Essential Rewards order PV
25+ months: 25 % of each Essential Rewards order PV!!!! That adds up to some sweet free products!
Plus these free loyalty gifts in the US: (gifts vary in other countries)
3-month gift: Peppermint Vitality essential oil, 5 ml
6-month gift: Thieves Vitality™ essential oil blend, 5 ml
9-month gift: Melaleuca Alternifolia essential oil, 15ml

No fee start, no fee to end; start and stop whenever you choose.

Which kit did you start with?
There are several options on which kit you can get when you sign up for a membership. I got the Premium Starter Kit when I first signed up because it gives you the best value with 12 of the more popular oils, a diffuser, plus a few more goodies to get started! It’s an amazing value and a great way to really start dumping the junk!
How do I educate myself? I’m worried I won’t know how or when to use the oils.
No worries. It’s all about the learning and teaching, person to person. That's part of the reason for Young Living's success. When you find something that works for you, you want to share the knowledge with family, friends and yes even strangers. I use to embarrass my children in public when somehow "my oils" came up. Usually because someone asks what smells so good. Now my kids are usually the ones bringing up "mom's magical oils". There is no shortage of information and amazing learning tools.
You will receive an invitation to our personal and private Facebook page where you can ask your questions and get answer in real time from experienced oil users. I am thrilled to support you and want you to experience all the amazing benefits of essential oils. I also will send & email you some resources & welcome goodies to get you started.
Does my Wholesale membership expire after a year like other buying clubs?
No. Your account never expires. Once you have a member # it will always be yours. However, your account will go INACTIVE if you don’t purchase $50 minimum in a year’s time. If that should happen, when you are ready to purchase again, simply call the Customer Service staff, they will reactive your account with the same member number.
Do I have to sell Young Living products in order to be a wholesale member?
Never. This is your account and it is not based on your selling anything, ever.
I see there is the option to share the oils like you do. How does that work? Can I be on your team?
I would love for you to be part of my awesome team! If you are considering this option I will be more than happy to help you get started. We have a lot of support and learning tools available to you.
Why are some of the products and oils out of stock?
One word...QUALITY! Ok, I'll elaborate because I use to get really frustrated by this occurrence but after going to the National Convention and learning more about how serious YL takes their "Seed to Seal" you start to understand why some products are out of stock. If the conditions are not optimal, they will not harvest or sell that crop and when you are up against nature, sometimes conditions out of your control just happen. Lucky for us, many oils have multiple purposes. That is part of the chemistry and magic of the plant properties. Also, the popularity & growth has been so tremendous so sometimes they cannot keep up with production but they are doing everything in their power to make improvements.
