On my family’s journey to wellness, I wanted to find the most pure essential oils on the market. After trying multiple brands, I can tell you that there is a difference with dōTERRA essential oils. Not only are the oils extremely effective and potent (see Co-Impact sourcing below), they are free of all adulterations, synthetics, and additives. Many companies claim to have “clean” oils, but dōTERRA actually proves their claim by making the extensive testing results available to the public.
A few reasons why we chose dōTERRA:
- The Oils are Potent and They Work!
- The Oils Smell Incredible and are Different from Other Competitors
- Purity of the Oils and Products
- Giving Back to Communities Through Co-Impact Sourcing
- Oils are Planted and Harvested Where they are Natively Grown (making them more potent)
- Extensive Third-Party Testing and Results Available to the Public
- Global Leader in the Industry
- Industry Leading Retention Rate of 68% – People Love the Products!
- Ethics and Integrity of the Company

Integrity of the Company
Purity of the Oils: Third-Party Testing
As the world’s largest and most pure essential oil company, dōTERRA essential oils are thoroughly third-party tested using a strict quality protocol. Each single batch of dōTERRA oils is tested a total of 54 times! Without an accepted standard for essential oil quality in the industry, dōTERRA created a testing process, called Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® (CPTG). The CPTG process certifies from an independent, third-party company that there are no added fillers, synthetic ingredients, pesticides, or harmful contaminants in the essential oil that would reduce their efficacy. This protocol ensures potency, purity, and consistency batch to batch. The Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade quality protocol includes the following tests:
- Organoleptic testing
- Microbial testing
- Gas chromatography
- Mass spectrometry
- Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
- Chirality testing
- Isotopic analysis
- Heavy metal testing
Free of chemicals and synthetics, each batch of oil is rigorously tested to ensure that you and your family receive the most pure and effective oils. For each individual bottle, you can review the independent, third party verified GC/MS test results by visiting www.sourcetoyou.com and entering in your unique Quality ID.
Co-Impact Sourcing: Sourcing Where Plants Are Natively Grown
Each dōTERRA oil is carefully sourced from where the plant has natively grown for centuries. This is extremely important for the potency and efficacy of the essential oil. Have you ever tasted a sweet pineapple when visiting Hawaii? Well, you might have noticed that it tastes MUCH sweeter than a pineapple you can purchase at the grocery store. The chemical constituents of the soil matter and are unique where a plant natively grows. Do you know what makes a Vidalia onion a Vidalia onion? Well, it’s actually the soil in Vidalia, Georgia! If you were to take the very same onion seed and plant it anywhere else in the world, the onion would have a very different make-up than the Vidalia onion grown in South Georgia. dōTERRA goes to great lengths to ensure that each and every essential oil produced comes from where each plant, seed, bark, root, or flower is natively grown. Sourcing from where a plant natively grows sets dōTERRA apart from other oil companies.
Through co-impact sourcing, dōTERRA partners with artisans in over 40 countries to ensure the best seeds, soil and growing environments. When searching for sourcing partnerships, they choose locations where they can improve the lives of local families, improve economic and environmental well-being, and produce the highest quality essential oils. Many of the essential oils grow best in developing countries; and oftentimes, experienced essential oil farmers in these countries are paid unfairly – limiting the ability to escape poverty. Co-Impact Sourcing provides the tools needed to help lift these families and communities out of poverty and promote economic sustainability.
