Vitality Essential Oils Explained

This page may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

If you’re not yet in the loop, Young Living has a line dubbed the Vitality essential oils. Each Vitality essential oil comes in a regular 5 milliliter bottle wrapped in a white label with a lovely, colorful title. The purpose of the fancy white label? That indicates that it is FDA approved for use as a dietary (internal) supplement.

Vitality Essential Oils Explained

Now, that said, the oils aren’t really new. The labels are, yes, but in reality, these are oils that Young Living was already selling. What’s setting them apart is that these ones are labeled for internal usage whereas the regular essential oils are labeled for aromatic and topical usage. If you’re wondering, that means that, yes, they are the exact same oils. For example, Lemon Vitality essential oil is exactly the same as regular Lemon essential oil. But, because of FDA’s regulations on essential oils, they must be marked separately.

Vitality Oils

To illustrate this, coconut oil is used as an excellent comparison (thanks to my Young Living upline Sarah Adamo for this great illustration!). In a typical grocery store or health food store, there is coconut oil down the baking aisle that is marketed for food usage. Then, when you go down the supplement aisle, there is more coconut oil (often by the same company) that is labeled for topical usage. What’s the difference? Absolutely nothing except the label. The coconut oil from the baking aisle that is used in cooking and smoothies is the exact same coconut oil from the supplement section that is used for topical things such as a moisturizer. But because the FDA has separate categories for topical and internal usage, they must be labeled separately.

Young Living’s essential oils are the same. Vitality is labeled for internal usage and the regular oils for topical and aromatic usage. But the oils of the same kind are equal in every way–they come from the same farms, from the same plants, are bottled the same way, and so on. The only difference is the label.

    So, if I have some vitality oils can I use them topically?

    Thanks so much for this G-R-E-A-T explanation. I just got off the phone with a customer service rep from Young Living who couldn’t explain it to me; she told me to GOOGLE IT. That’s when I found your website.

    Believe me, I was completely perplexed! But, your simple but effective explanation has cleared it up for me.

    I have been ingesting many young living oils for over 20yrs. Which is way before they had vitality oils. My kids have ingested them as well. Their favorite is thieves in their water.

      Hi, Liz. As far as I know, they are still not yet regulated. Young Living founder Gary Young was trying to get them regulated, but he passed away a couple years ago. I have been to busy to keep up with where that process it, but I’m sure a good google search will help you find how it’s going. 🙂

    How long have you been ingesting these? When did they get the FDA safe. I thought essential oils were only for airborne…

      I really don’t ingest them often, but I do frequently apply them topically and aromatically. They are continuously working with the FDA to be the EO company that is FDA approved.
