About Young Living

Young Living is a privately held essential-oils company founded in 1994 by D. Gary Young and Mary Young. It is headquartered in Lehi, Utah, USA. The company operates through a network marketing model and refers to its sellers as Brand Partners. Young Living lists 9 markets, and the company states it runs offices in Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico and Taiwan, among others. It also states that it expanded into markets including Brazil, Colombia and South Africa in 2019.

Its product range centres on essential oils and related lifestyle products. Product lines include essential oils, diffusers, supplements, personal care and Thieves home care. Thieves is the company’s household and personal-care brand. Based on the information provided here, the company’s website did not say which products are available in every market, how ranges differ by country, or whether some items are limited to certain regions.

For someone joining, the model works through direct selling as a Brand Partner. In practice, that means a participant typically buys products for personal use and may also sell to retail customers and build a team of other participants, depending on local rules and the company’s plan. The information supplied here does not include the compensation plan details, so the company’s website did not say in this summary how commissions are structured, what ranks exist, or what ongoing qualifications may apply.

Public review sites give a mixed picture. Young Living has a Trustpilot rating of 3.2 from 242 reviews (youngliving.com profile, 2026-09). Reviews can reflect both positive and negative experiences, but they do not replace checking the terms for yourself. Before signing up, ask for the current income disclosure, the starter-kit cost, any monthly purchase or activity requirements, and the refund or buy-back terms if you decide to leave. It is also sensible to ask which products and programmes are available in your country and to read the latest policies carefully.
