Lehi, Utah—July 25, 2019—Young Living Essential Oils, the world leader in essential oils, has successfully concluded its 2019 International Grand Convention (IGC). The IGC is Young Living's premier educational, networking, and social event. The event is held each summer in Salt Lake City and brings members of the organization together for continued education on best practices, new innovations, essential oil development and usage, and related wellness products offered by Young Living.

This year Young Living celebrated the launch of an array of nutritional supplements, makeup from its Savvy Minerals®makeup line, synthetic-free deodorants and toothpaste, and a new owl-themed diffuser for children. Highlights from the 2019 convention included an inspirational keynote speech from New York Times best-selling author John C.

In the first partnership of its kind, the entities will send essential oils and plant seeds to the International Space Station for study on the effects of solar radiation on the potency of essential oil products. For one month, samples will be housed on the ISS, where they can be exposed to solar radiation and then compared to identical samples left on Earth.

CEO and Co-Founder Mary Young noted that, "In 25 years, Young Living Essential Oils has grown from the dream of my husband and Young Living Founder D. Gary Young to a legacy carried by over 6 million members worldwide. The 2019 International Grand Convention signifies a milestone that we will continue to build upon.
