Finally!!!
After a long wait, the Raindrop Technique kit is available again.
In late 2022,Young Living decided to remove the Wintergreen oil from the kit, but no relevant replacement was available.
During 2023, that became Blue Relief, but for the Raindrop Technique Kit, the replacement remained out.
But now everyone can once again enjoy a Raindrop Technique massage with: Northern Lights Blue Spruce!
Gary once said that when Wintergreen material was in short supply, he used Northern Lights Blue Spruce for the Raindrop Technique.
It was not a one-to-one substitute, but the benefits from NLBS were still great.

that as of Jan. 1st, Wintergreen can no longer be sold in personal care products in all countries of the European Community?
There is a LAW that regulates that only a very small amount of Methyl Salicylate is allowed in cosmetics/care products….
Young Living has quite a few products in its collection, imported into Europe as cosmetics, that do contain Methyl Salicylate.
Methyl Salicylate is the active ingredient extracted from Wintergreen (or Mountain Tea), which is used in products to soothe muscle discomfort, for example.
Such products are also the ones Young Living uses the essential oil in:
– Wintergreen essential oil
– Cool Azul essential oil
– PanAway essential oil blend
– Deep Relief oil blend
– Raven oil blend
– Ortho-Sport massage oil
– Ortho-Ease massage oil
– CBD Muscle Balm
– Cool Azul Sport Gel
– Active & Fit kit (both Deep Relief oil and Cool Azul Sport Gel)
– BLM capsules
– Super Cal
but also the immensely popular Starter Bundles with the Aria, Dew drop and Desert Mist diffusers, and the CBD Premium Bundles as well as the 30 oils kit and the Raindrop Technique kit…
A replacement for the majority of the products will have to be chosen, but a number of products will be disappearing completely as a result.

Please Read This Important Note On Wintergreen
We regret to inform you that from this month, Wintergreen essential oil and certain other Young Living cosmetic products containing Wintergreen essential oil, will be phased out and no longer available for purchase due to a change in
Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament on cosmetic products.
Following a regulation change, cosmetic products may contain only a very small amount of methyl salicylate, a significant compound of Wintergreen. The allowable amount varies per product type, and only cosmetics are affected.
As a result, Young Living cosmetic products containing Wintergreen essential oil will be reformulated. We are also in the process of identifying a replacement oil for collections that currently contain Wintergreen so our brand partners and customers can continue enjoying their favourite products.
We apologise for any inconvenience, however we remain committed to meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements in every market in which we operate to bring you the highest-quality essential oil and essential oil-infused products anywhere.
