The dōTERRA difference
WHAT SETS THEM APART?
dōTERRA is more than just producer of the world's highest quality certified pure tested grade essential oils. They have a mission, and that mission is to change the world one drop, one person, one community at a time. Through responsible sourcing practices and the efforts of the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, every bottle of essential oil has an impact on lives far beyond your home.
Responsible Sourcing
dōTERRA prioritizes environmental care and fair treatment for harvesters, growers, and distillers through a unique sourcing approach called Co-Impact Sourcing. This ethical model goes beyond conventional Corporate Social Responsibility, focusing deeply on direct relationships with their sourcing partners. The goal is to improve the lives of their workers and their families, and protect natural resources, ensuring each essential oil is produced sustainably and responsibly.

✓ Facilitating Community Development: Support community development projects in sourcing communities such as schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems
Humanitarian Impact
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is a charitable organization that seeks to support community development projects in sourcing and local communities. These projects include disaster relief; anti-human trafficking prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation; microloan programs and feminine hygiene education. Some recent doTERRA projects are now making a meaningful impact in South Africa, including local community aid following the recent floods in my province. Although these efforts do not make the headlines, there is a dedicated global network of people actively working to create lasting change.

Cutting -Edge Research
In the past, essential oils lacked thorough research largely due to limited industry standards. To set a benchmark, dōTERRA established itself as the world leader by being the ONLY company that rigorously tests each and every bottle of oil for purity, detecting and rejecting any contamination, spiking or synthetic adulteration. Over 60 tests are conducted in-house and with the Aromatic Plant Research Center to ensure this level of quality. Each bottle of essential oil from dōTERRA has a unique ID on the bottom that you can enter on the website SourceToYou.com - this give you a detailed report on the oil's chemical profile, confirming its purity and quality. By collaborating with research institutions, hospitals, and universities, dōTERRA continues to drive advancements in essential oil science, consistently exploring and validating the oils’ potential for wellness.
