Why doTERRA?
Pure Essential Oils
If you’re wondering where to buy essential oils, you don’t have to look far.
Still, it’s important to be careful—many essential oils on the market are contaminated or adulterated with synthetic chemicals. If you’re buying essential oils, it’s because you want something completely natural and safe. Make sure you don’t accidentally purchase something that only appears natural but is actually synthetic. My team leader covers this topic in depth on her YouTube channel.
When choosing essential oils that are safe and effective, the key factor to look for is purity. Pure essential oils let you experience the full benefits nature has to offer, and you can feel confident using them with your family and pets. Remember, you usually get what you pay for—and essential oils are no exception.

What to Look for When Buying Essential Oils
In a market where every company claims to have “pure” essential oils, how do you really know if the oils you’re using are pure? How do you know if the essential oils you’re buying are worthy of being used by you and your family?
If you want the best essential oils, find out if the company you plan to buy from takes the following precautions to ensure the quality of their oils:
-
Sustainable and responsible sourcing (Where do their oils come from?)
-
Extensive and thorough testing (Do they test their oils for adulteration and contamination?)
-
Clear and accessible safety and usage information (Do they show customers how to use the oils safely?)
-
Transparency (Do they use third-party testing? Do they make test results public?)

What Makes doTERRA Different
When you use a bottle of doTERRA essential oil, you’re using oil in its purest form—free from contaminants, fillers, or adulterations. In fact, before doTERRA, the essential oil industry had no established standards for purity, so doTERRA created its own.
Every batch of doTERRA essential oils undergoes a rigorous testing process that goes far beyond industry expectations. Afterward, each oil is verified by an independent third party to ensure unmatched quality and purity.

Pure Essential Oils Pass Test
If the oil passes the tests, it’s labeled as CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®. When you see the CPTG® label, you know you’re using the purest essential oils on the market.
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.

Humanitarian Impact
Changing Lives Through Every Drop
From the beginning, doTERRA wanted to be more than a business. “There are givers and there are takers,” said David Stirling, doTERRA Founding Executive, CEO. “We wanted doTERRA to be a giver.”
To accomplish that, the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® was created—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps support community development projects in sourcing communities.
These kinds of projects include funding for and building of schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems.

Healing Hands Foundation
Extending Hope and Healing Worldwide
The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation also partners with a variety of other organizations to support disaster relief; anti-human trafficking prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation; microloan programs; and feminine hygiene education.
doTERRA generously donates to cover all administrative costs of the foundation so that 100% of all donations go directly to aid. When you partner with the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, your donation could save a child from human trafficking, repair a home devastated by a natural disaster, or help provide someone with access to healthcare.
