The Happy Pili Tree Farm, located in the vibrant and scenic Bicol Region of the Philippines, will be our main supplier of Elemi essential oil. Harvested by resin tapping and then steam distilled for an essential oil with a rich lemon-pine aroma, Elemi is from the same family as Frankincense and Myrrh.
The high quality standards and ethical harvesting methods of the Happy Pili Tree Farm make it a natural fit with Young Living’s Seed to Seal® program. With expertise on how to legally and sustainably source this precious plant, the farm protects this natural resource and helps ensure long-term viability of Elemi essential oil.
This partnership is an asset to Young Living, as well as to the local community. By working with Young Living, the farm has been able to install its first distillery. With this resource and technology on site, the farm vertically integrates the production process and keeps job opportunities and expertise within local communities.
Young Living also helps ensure ethical business practices by offering fair wages to harvesters and supporting the sustainable sourcing of Elemi. With our strict Seed to Seal standards in place, this partnership helps us provide the high-quality essential oils members expect from Young Living.
