Within the U.S., there are labeling laws for products that are intended for Cosmetic or Aromatic uses, which fall under the Cosmetic Labeling Laws, and products that are intended for internal use, which fall under the laws for Nutritional Labeling.

Many of Young Living’s Essential Oils fall within both categories.  So, since the FDA was not going to create a special category just for D. Gary Young and Young Living Essential Oils, Young Living had to begin bottling their “Nutritional Supplemental” oils with the Vitality label.  You will recognize it as the white labeled oils.

However, the oils in the Vitality labeled bottles are no different than the oils in the regularly labeled bottles.  Why?  Because it is the same oil.  Young Living is simply being compliant with the FDA and EPA when it comes to labeling their products.  Did you know that the FDA approved certain Essential Oils for food and beverage flavoring decades ago?

Basically, the Vitality Peppermint Essential Oil and the plain Peppermint Essential Oil, are the exact same oil, in each of the bottles.

So, how can the Vitality oils be used in our everyday lives?

  • Add 2-3 drops of Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil to a batch of delicious brownies.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Lime Vitality to your favorite guacamole recipe or the one you purchase from the grocery store.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Lemon Vitality Essential Oil to a cup of tea or water.
  • Add Spearmint Vitality Essential Oil to 24+ ounces of water for a refreshing drink on hot summer days.  Oils are very concentrated, and Spearmint or Peppermint in an 8 ounce glass of water might be too strong.
  • Add 1-2 drops or Lemon Vitality Essential Oil to plain yogurt for a burst of flavor without sugar.
  • Add 3-4 drops of Orange Vitality Essential Oil to your favorite chocolate smoothie for enhanced flavor.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Ginger Vitality Essential Oil to your favorite Thai Soup recipe for a boost in flavor
  • Add 1-2 drops Oregano Vitality Essential Oil to your favorite pasta sauce for a boost in flavor.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Thieves Vitality Essential Oil to a tablespoon of honey to increase wellness.
  • Add 1-2 drops of Thieves Vitality Essential Oil to your favorite almond milk latte and add a boost of flavor without the sugar.  Or Orange Vitality as well.
