WHY doTERRA ESSENTIAL OILS?
The doTERRA Difference
When you use a doTERRA essential oil, you’re using an oil that is pure, with no contaminants, fillers or adulterations. doTERRA has created a standard to ensure that our oils are 100% pure, something that didn't exist in the essential oil industry before.
Every batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a rigorous testing process. Each oil is then sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation. The end result creates the best essential oils, products that you can be confident in using safely every day wih everyone in your family.
doTERRA Purity
In a market where every company claims to have 'pure' essential oils, how do you really know if the oils you’re buying are pure and safe for you and your family? You need to ensure that you know your oils are produced under the following precautions:
- Sustainable and responsible sourcing (Where do the oils come from?)
- Extensive and thorough testing (Are the oils tested for adulteration and contamination?)
- Clear and accessible safety and usage information (How to use the oils safely)
- Transparency (Is there third-party testing? Are test results available to see?)
More Than Essential Oils
It's more than just testing that sets doTERRA essential oils apart. doTERRA works diligently to make a difference. Our mission is to change the world one drop, one person, one community at a time.
Responsible Sourcing of Essential Oils
Not all essential oils are created equal. Some companies choose to cut costs by using low-quality plants or adulterating their oils with cheap substances. While cutting corners might save time and money, it will result in low-quality oil. Unfortunately, many production methods in the essential oil industry can also be harmful to the environment or result in the unfair treatment of farmers and growers.
Where Do doTERRA Essential Oils Come From?
There's one thing to remember with quality essential oils; it all starts with the source. doTERRA focuses on responsible and sustainable sourcing practices that produce only the highest quality essential oils – no matter the cost. We make it a top priority to protect the environment during the production process and provide fair treatment to all harvesters and growers.

Humanitarian Impact
From the beginning, doTERRA wanted to be more than a business. “There are givers and there are takers,” said David Stirling, doTERRA Founding Executive. “We wanted doTERRA to be a giver.”
To support this goal the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation was created to aid community development projects in sourcing communities. These kinds of projects include funding for and building schools, health clinics, training facilities and clean water systems.
