When I seek companies for business, I prioritize their global impact, sustainability, natural and consistent products, scientific and clinical expertise, and community outreach. dōTERRA excels in all these areas and more! As you’re aware, not all essential oils and supplements are created equal. 

 

What Makes dōTERRA Different?

When you purchase an essential oil, it should be pure. Purity isn’t optional. It’s foundational.  At dōTERRA, they prioritize purity when selecting essential oils. 

 

A pure essential oil is unadulterated, which means three things:

1. It’s sourced from nature rather than synthetically produced.
2. It’s authentic, with a verified botanical identity through testing.
3. It’s undiluted by fillers or additives - no added fragrances, dyes, preservatives, or undisclosed ingredients.

 

The purity of an essential oil is its most important characteristic. Adulteration can affect safety and efficacy. Using an essential oil that isn’t pure not only wastes money, but it can also cause irritation or worse.

 

Many companies claim their oils are pure, but these claims are often unverified. For example, a recent study found two-thirds of lavender oils on the market are compromised.

 

Purity needs to be more than just a promise. It must be proven.

 

 

Benefiting All on Both Sides of the Bottle

At dōTERRA, purity starts with people.  Their sourcing model puts relationships first as they work with distillers and growers across more than 40 countries to support meaningful economic opportunities for those involved, protect native ecosystems, and build lasting partnerships.  This focus is known as Co-Impact Sourcing®, and it is at the center of everything they do.

 

Through Co-Impact Sourcing, they demonstrate our commitment to responsibly sourcing essential oils and other gifts of the earth with care and respect for people and planet. Their standards are centered on:

• High-quality botanical sourcing
• Transparency and trust in business transactions
• Fair labor practices and safe working conditions
• Sustainable and regenerative agriculture that protects and renews natural resources

 

 

Sourcing Where Plants Thrive Most

While others in the essential oil industry cut corners during the planting, growing, and harvesting process, or even try to “extend” pure oils by adding less expensive ingredients, dōTERRA is uncompromisingly selective.

 

To work with committed partners and ensure the best growing conditions, doTERRA sources essential oils from across the globe. With an ever-expanding product line that includes over 250 essential oils sourced from over 40 countries, doTERRA truly offers the best gifts of the earth.

 

The doTERRA commitment to quality begins long before seeds are planted. Unlike companies that establish farms in convenient locations, doTERRA goes where each plant grows best and partners with experienced growers and their networks of harvesters and distillers worldwide. Many of our partner producers have been honing their craft for generations, bringing unparalleled expertise to every step of the process, from planting to distillation.

 

Over 170 essential oils sourced from more than 45 nations.

 

 

dōTERRA Lavender - The Gold Standard

Recent peer-reviewed, published studies confirm that dōTERRA Lavender oil is the gold standard for purity, consistency, and potency.  There is NO comparison.

 

Purity:
Research from the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis** shows that two-thirds of lavender oils on the market are contaminated and of inferior quality.

Meanwhile, the study recognizes dōTERRA’s Lavender oil as the highest quality and gold standard against which all other lavender oils are measured.

 

Consistency:
dōTERRA Lavender oil is consistent across multiple batches and over multiple years.

The same study from the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis reveals that the main chemical compounds found in dōTERRA Lavender were highly consistent over multiple batches and multiple years.

We have cracked the code to produce high-quality and consistent Lavender oil year-to-year, batch-to-batch.

 

Potency
dōTERRA Lavender oil is absorbed better than synthetics.

The foundation for potency is consistency and purity. Because our Lavender oil is consistent across batches year to year and has a high level of purity, our Lavender oil is better absorbed than synthetic counterparts currently on the market. Our consistency also means that you can rely on the same dose every time you use our Lavender oil.

 

In a study with Prime Meridian Health and the National Center for Natural Products Research, it was proven that dōTERRA’s lavender essential oil reaches levels in the body nearly twice that of synthetics, demonstrating that our oil is absorbed significantly better than synthetic chemical compounds.

 

Trusted by Researchers & Consumers Alike

The consistency of key chemical compounds in doTERRA Lavender oil is similar to the consistency of ingredients in mass-produced, health-related products. That consistency is key to delivering predictable, reliable results important to consumers and researchers alike.

More Revolutionary Research To Come

dōTERRA’s proven purity, consistency, and potency are paving the way for our next phases of research and product innovation.

 

We look forward to remaining transparent and accountable as we study the purity, consistency, and potency of more and more dōTERRA essential oils each year.

 

What this Means for You

When you and your loved ones use dōTERRA Lavender oil, you can trust that it is the purest, highest quality lavender oil on the market as backed by science.
