CBD recap from Young Living Diamond call on January 8, 2019
When we survey our members, one of the top-requested products is CBD oil. We’ve heard you and have been working on a CBD solution over the last year, and we now have one in place.
As many of you are aware, the 2018 Farm Bill was signed into law before the end of last year. This was the biggest milestone toward declassifying hemp-derived CBD as what’s known as a Schedule 1-classified drug in the Controlled Substances Act. Because it is THC-free, there is nothing psychoactive about CBD, and it has important benefits of which many of you are aware.
The Farm Bill is just the first step to fully legalizing CBD in the United States, albeit a big one. Now state governments and government agencies like the FDA must build out specific regulations related to the new law.
Because it’s still somewhat of a gray area, our banking partners and consulting law firm have advised us to not carry CBD products as Young Living products at this time. We’re too big of a company to take the risk, which could potentially jeopardize other aspects of our business. So what’s our CBD solution?
We have worked hard to identify a third-party retail company that aligns with our values, including our Seed to Seal® quality commitment. We will supply them with Young Living essential oils to create Young Living Seed to Seal-quality infused CBD oil.
The company we selected and have partnered with has an innovative and experienced management team; an experienced and credentialed scientific advisory board that includes our own talented chemist, Dr. Richard Carlson; a vertically integrated farming process based on organic hemp plant cultivation practices in Colorado; quality extraction and testing methods; and a broad range of product offerings, including roll-on oils, tinctures, and pet care products. Our teams have worked with this company to ensure that all steps in the production process meet our high standards.
This company is strictly in the retail space and is not an MLM, so PV or commissions will not be available on these products at this time.
As always, Young Living is focused on putting purpose and people over profit. This first step into the CBD realm is simply a way to address the needs of our consumers who currently consume CBD or wish to by providing them with a third party that has agreed to provide a high-quality, Seed to Seal essential oil-infused product.
As the legislative landscape will allow, we hope to bring these same products in-house as permanent Young Living offerings with full PV.
The company we’ve selected is currently building up additional inventories to allow a launch with significant stock on hand. We are consulting with this company to assist them in bringing these Young Living essential oil-infused products to market in the coming weeks. Until then, we ask for your patience and recommend that you continue researching CBD on your own.
Update February 6, 2019
Have you been exploring options for a CBD oil, only to wonder about quality?
YL has heightened our awareness of pure, quality products through our Seed to Seal® standards. Beginning today, you can access YLEO infused CBD oil through Nature’s Ultra with the same confidence and trust that you have for Young Living!
Young Living members have been clamoring for cannabidiol (CBD) products backed by Young Living’s Seed to Seal® standard. Thanks to Nature’s Ultra, you can now access CBD oil and other products infused with Young Living essential oils. YL is committed to making sure members get only the best when it comes to essential oil products. YL is working with Nature’s Ultra to ensure you get pure products from a source you can trust.
When the 2018 Farm Bill passed, it opened a lot of opportunity by declassifying hemp-derived CBD as a Schedule 1-classified drug in the Controlled Substances Act. However, there are still limitations related to the sale of CBD, so Young Living will not carry CBD products at this time. Eventually, we hope to offer essential oil-infused CBD products in-house.
Until that time, our solution is to work with an organization that aligns with our values, including our Seed to Seal commitment. We’ll supply Nature’s Ultra with YL essential oils, so they can create CBD products that meet the standard you rely on.
You have access to:
- Quality CBD products
- Oils and other products whose sourcing follows YL’s exacting guidelines
- Innovative solutions infused with Young Living essential oils
Nature’s Ultra has an experienced management team, an accomplished and credentialed scientific advisory board, vertically integrated farming processes based on organic hemp plant cultivation practices in Colorado, and quality extraction and testing methods. Their approach to sharing high-quality products mirrors our own, and we’re excited about their broad range of offerings, including roll-on oils, tinctures, and pet care products.
Our teams have worked alongside Nature’s Ultra to ensure that every step in their production process meets our high standards. Though they are not a Young Living supplier, we’ve performed the same audits we require of our partner farms and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers, ensuring that they’re providing you with a product that has our approval.
The marriage of CBD oil and essential oils highlights the best features in each. Nature’s Ultra offers CBD isolate products, meaning there is no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound found in marijuana that causes cognitive effects like euphoric or dissociative perceptions and is found in small amounts in full-spectrum products. Nature’s Ultra utilizes the terpenes in essential oils to increase the overall spectrum of the product, so it is no longer an isolate, while still creating a pure, THC-free product.
Why try a CBD product? CBD products can be a great way to enhance your Young Living essential oil and nutritional supplement routine. CBD is a plant-based compound that binds on CB-1 and CB-2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. This neurochemical system regulates a wide range of functions in the body. CBD is believed to regulate things like appetite, immune system function, and pain management without cognitive effects (unlike tetrahydrocannabinol/THC).
Nature’s Ultra will begin selling CBD products infused with Young Living essential oils on their website today.
