Young Living Premium Starter Kit. If you’re reading this post, you’ve probably heard that phrase. Perhaps you had a friend post about it on Instagram. Maybe you were researching essential oil companies and came across the phrase.
When I first was learning about essential oils, I heard the phrase “Premium Starter Kit” thrown around but wasn’t sure what it was. I saw the price tag of $165 and my heart dropped. I wasn’t sure it would be worth it.
So I did a little digging and looked into the costs of each item included in the kit. I added up the prices of all of the items and my mind was blown! Suddenly $165 didn’t seem that expensive!
Let me break down what’s included in the kit so you can see if it really is as good of a deal as they say 😊
What’s included in the kit…
- Desert Mist Diffuser- $83.88
- This is what you’ll use to release oil particles into the air and make the air around you smell heavenly.

Nearly FIVE HUNDRED dollars!!
When I added all that up, my jaw dropped. Buying the Premium Starter Kit made sense. I’d be saving money. The Premium Starter Kit with all of those goodies only costs $165.
But there’s more awesomeness that’s wrapped up in that price tag…
When you sign up for the Premium Starter Kit, you get wholesale pricing on all of Young Living’s products.
That’s 24% off normal retail pricing!
For example, a 5ml of Valor at retail pricing is $52.30. With your wholesale membership, it’s $39.75.
Also, once you buy the kit, you have this discount forever. As long as you make at least one purchase a year, you’ll be able to use the wholesale price. No monthly fees required! Whoohoo!
Another thing you’ll get when you sign up for a Premium Starter Kit is support and education.
You’ll be placed on a team of people who have all walked before you and have learned how to use the essential oils.
When you buy oils from a grocery store, you don’t get this kind of support. No one will be there to hold your hand as you learn how to use these oils.
Side Rant: It is critical that you choose carefully who’s team you join.
When I first got my Young Living Premium Starter Kit, I entered the enroller number from one of my mom’s friends. While I loved supporting her by joining her team… I didn’t receive the support I was hoping for. My mom’s friend never reached out to me. In fact, I don’t even know if she really treats Young Living as a business.
The person above her in my Young Living family tree reached out and sent me texts each month of Young Living’s promos- trying to get me to buy them. When I asked about doing the business side of Young Living, I was met with crickets. I didn’t feel support at all. I felt like a customer rather than a friend.
So I looked into what I needed to do to switch teams.
Young Living doesn’t want people switching back and forth and abandoning their teams, so they make the process long and complicated. I ended up having to go a whole YEAR without buying the oils I love, just so I could switch teams and find the support and education I craved.
Don’t be like me- Sign up with someone you trust from the beginning.
Recap of what you’ll get for $165:
- $486.48 worth of oils & accessories & Young Living products
- 24% off all future purchases
- New friends that will teach you how to use your oils
It’s totally worth it!
I don’t want you to be overwhelmed by the purchasing process, so I made a quick tutorial outlining how you can get your Premium Starter Kit. Check it out! :)
