YOUNG LIVING TESTING WINTERGREEN

Wintergreen is one of YL's most potent essential oils for soothing bodily discomfort.  Only the purest form of wintergreen contains the proper blend of plant constituents that produce a warming, soothing sensation and an almost immediate effect.

To ensure the quality of wintergreen in every Young Living oil, stringent testing is performed to detect additives or adulterations (a synthetic version of the important compound methyl salicylate is ofen found in lesser-quality wintergreen products).  Among the tests performed is Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS), an analysis that determines whether an essential oil is naturally derived or created synthetically.  This state-of-the-art testing guarantees customers experience results from highly-concentrated essential oils in their most natural form.
