“Thieves” sounds like it has nothing to do with cleaning. So why did YL name a collection of natural cleaning products “Thieves”? What story lies behind this name that makes Thieves become what it is today, protecting millions of homes around the world? Let’s uncover this legendary tale!

 

The story begins in 15th century France, during the time of the Black Plague. Legend tells of four thieves who managed to rob plague victims without falling ill themselves. Their secret wasn’t expert stealing skills but a special herbal blend. They apply spices like clove, cinnamon, and rosemary to their bodies to create a natural protective barrier against deadly germs. This ancient wisdom inspired the Thieves collections. Let Mary share this story with us!

 

Our founder Gary Young brought this historical story into the modern world. He combined 5 pure essential oils of Lemon, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary under strict extraction techniques and Seed to Seal® commitment to create this powerful Thieves Essential Oil. This formula is no longer just a legend, it is a scientifically backed plant-based solution that offers strong cleaning and protection, continuing its mission to support health.

 

Today, Thieves has evolved from an essential oil blend into a complete collection covering household cleaning, personal care, and natural sanitizing. Cleaning products we use every day may conceal invisible pollutants and harmful toxins, or irritating chemicals. Long-term exposure to these ingredients can pose potential health risk, especially for infants, pets, or people with sensitive skin. Formulated without harmful ingredients, Thieves offer you a safer solution with only naturally derived ingredients, making your home a true haven.

 

Among all Thieves products, Thieves Household Cleaner has been a favorite and trusted choice among families around the world. Over 9.2 million bottles have sold worldwide, becoming a representative choice for low-tox living. SGS tests confirmed that when following the dilution ratios listed on label, it is effective in killing 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus within 30 minutes of contact. This proves that plant-based cleaners can be just as effective—if not more—than chemical ones.It is simple to use. Just 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner and 2 cups of 250ml water is all you need to clean everyday areas such as kitchen countertops, floors, and sinks. With 1 bottle, you can make about 28 bottles of 500ml spray, averaging just HK$8 per bottle. Truly efficient, affordable, and sustainable!

 

“Thieves” is more than just a name for a cleaning product. Every bottle carries a promise to protect our family and a commitment to a low-tox lifestyle. This timeless legend continues to unfold.
