Can your Young Living essential oils EXPIRE?

Someone had asked about the lifespan of an essential oil bottle, and here is my answer:

Some oils, like Frankincense, have no expiry date. There is NO expiry date for any essential oil that is steam distilled and has NO carrier oil added.

Other blends, to name a few, that do NOT have added carrier oil are Thieves, Sacred Mountain and Purification.

Please note that Citrus oils are NOT steam distilled. They are cold pressed from the rind of the fruit. They can actually EVAPORATE through the plastic top of the unopened bottle in 2-3 years. Blends that contain citrus oils may decrease in volume because of this.

Vegetable oils, added as carrier oils, can become rancid. Blends that contain carrier oil would be the ones affected over time. However, many Young Living blends now have FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL rather than nut oils (because of potential allergies) as carriers. Fractionated coconut oil is coconut oil that is then steam distilled. It would have no expiry.

It would also greatly depend on how the oils are stored in the first place.

Does this help?

Why did POMEGRANATE make it into the bottle before the research caught up?

💡 Gary Young included it based on traditional use and early indicators. Years later, studies confirmed its benefits for heart health and vascular function. 💓 Pomegranate juice has been shown to improve arterial flexibility and reduce oxidative stress—two key factors in cardiovascular health.

It's a blend that was ahead of its time.

8 Things You Didn’t Know about Helichrysum Essential Oil
We love Helichrysum; it’s in some of our favorite blends, such as Deep Relief™, but it’s also fabulous on its own. A little bit earthy, a little bit herby, its invigorating aroma can chase away the sluggish energy in a room. And that’s just the start of the dozens of ways this essential oil is a multitasking all-star.
It may be a must-have, but this rare plant is also a little mysterious, so we’re giving you eight facts and tips about this favorite essential oil for your inner botanist! Go ahead and use them to flex your EO knowledge at your next party—you’re sure to establish yourself among your friends as the essential oil guru.LMC3563
1. Helichrysum flowers are sometimes called Immortelle, or the Everlasting Flower, possibly because of the way its essential oil can smooth the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone. Home spa night, anyone?
2. Helichrysum is a self-seeding plant in the sunflower family. It grows naturally in rocky and sandy terrains throughout the Mediterranean. If you love Helichrysum oil, you should probably book a Mediterranean vacation to go see it for yourself ASAP. Just saying.
3. The word “helichrysum” comes from Latin and Greek roots, meaning “gold spiral.” Its beautiful, tiny golden blossoms definitely deserve the name.
4. Hit a slump? Throw some Helichrysum essential oil and Eucalyptus Radiata into your diffuser. The fresh, earthy, invigorating scent will perk your space right up and help you refocus on that mile-long to-do list. It probably wouldn’t hurt during homework time either.
5. Tiny flowers mean tiny yields of essential oil. We steam distill the delicate blossoms of this plant, and while we don’t get much oil from each distillation, that oil has a rich and complex profile of the naturally occurring constituents neryl acetate, gamma-curcumene, and alpha-pinene.
Peppermint essential oil uses | Young Living6. Hitting the gym? One of our top Helichrysum oil uses is sports massage. Add a few drops of Helichrysum and Peppermint to V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex and knead into muscles wherever you need it. Believe us—that treadmill won’t look so daunting tomorrow.
7. Helichrysum is typically harvested wild from the rocky shores of Croatia’s Dalmatia region, but Young Living’s helichrysum is cultivated at our farm in Split, Croatia. By cultivating this rare plant, Young Living is helping to protect it from exploitation and overharvesting. In using our Helichrysum essential oil, you’re helping support sustainable agriculture. Doesn’t that feel good?
8. Skin dull and dry from time out in the sun? Help revive it with a soothing, aromatic combination of Helichrysum, Lavender, and coconut oil. Gently massage the mixture onto your skin, then kick back with a honey-lavender lemonade for a total inside-out reprieve from the heat.

🌲🌲RED CEDAR BLISS🌲🌲

Let's talk about this one for a minute!! 🧐🧐🧐 She is probably on your shelf RIGHT NOW, and you need to get her out and USE her!!

Yes, she is a warm, evergreen bliss! 🌲 She is a beautiful blend of 🍊Orange,🫘Clove, 🌱Laurus Nobilis, 💰Helichrysum, 🏺Frankincense, and🌲Western Red Cedar oils, which have a welcoming, harmonizing aroma to ground and uplift the mind. Plus, this blend of oils has some incredible health benefits and is full of multiple constituents that support a healthy immune system and overall wellness!

BUT DID YOU KNOW👉👉👉 Mary Young created this blend to serve a particular purpose? 🤧😷 Since this is on social media, I need to control how I say this👉👉 put on your thinking cap and really listen🔍for a minute.

For the last several years, there has been a clear need in today’s world for a re-balancing of the body, blood, and heart.

This is not just in the physical sense but also in the emotional sense. 👉👉👉POWERFUL oils in this bend will open a path of overall healing for mental, spiritual, and physical support.

Each oil in this blend provides constituents that help create channels in our body to clear our “toxins or proteins,” and the key to that is CLEAN BLOOD.
How do we help blood be the cleanest it can be? >>> Helichrysum, Red Cedar, Frankincense, and most especially clove.
👉👉👉 Where does blood pump through daily and carry good and potential toxins? The heart. The liver. Keeping these clean and healthy is key! 🫀

🍊Orange Essential Oil packs a big, power-packed punch with antioxidants, helping the body remove toxins and free radicals it may be unknowingly exposed to. Why is this important? Clean cells mean a thriving body, both physically and mentally. It also is the foundation for a well-response immune system to anything that comes its way.

🫘Clove Essential Oil contains antioxidants and may support a healthy immune system and general wellness. Clove oil also contains eugenol and flavonoids, which can help support a healthy inflammatory response and occasional aches and pains. No wonder it has been used in dentistry for centuries!!

🌱Bay Laurel (AKA Laurus Nobilis & Bay Leaves) has been believed to be effective at calming the mind since ancient times. The linalool and cineol found in bay laurel have been found to reduce everyday anxiety and balance stress hormones. It supports your healthy immune and respiratory systems!!

🏺Frankincense Essential Oil kind of stands on its own in the blend. We know what Frank can do and how powerful it is for the mind, focus, and clarity. It is amazing at relieving occasional stress and promoting relaxation. Your lovely lungs and respiratory system love the aroma of Frank! Your strong healthy DNA adore frankincense!!!

💰Helichrysum Essential Oil - Helichrysum is the Latin name for a flowering plant meaning “immortal” or “everlasting.” That is all I am going to say about our helichrysum right now. Sometimes, less is more.

🌲Western Red Cedar Leaf Essential Oil AND Western Red Cedar Wood Essential Oil— I want to make sure you notice that we are using both the wood and the leaves. Each part has different constituents that are AMAZING for your body, your brain, emotions, and overall balance. The Western Red Cedar is called the “tree of life” by the Kakawaka'wakw Tribe [Indigenous tribes] of British Columbia. Again, sometimes less is more. Please note: your lungs, sinuses, and entire respiratory and immune system love the aroma!!

🌲🌲Red Cedar Bliss and why you need it:
• A natural way to support your immune system.
• To support overall wellness.
• To invite harmony into your life.
• Antioxidant-supporting oils that deliver plant powered immune support
• Your lungs, sinuses, and respiratory will thank you!!
• Your healthy heart & blood cells will appreciate you too!!
• Love on your strong DNA!!

How do you use her❓
1. Add a drop under your tongue, in a glass of water or even to a veggie capsule to take internally
2. Dilute & massage into your skin
3. Diffuse to fill your space with this cheerful, spicy, citrus aroma
