Many people have taken the step towards using essential oils to help provide health benefits to their families. I am constantly asked where to buy the purest essential oils and which essential oil brands are the most trustworthy. While many essential oil brands exist and provide relatively good products, my many years of experience and usage have taught me which brand not only provides the best variety and quality of essential oils, but also has a vision to change the world through service and love. And that brand is...doTERRA!

There's a lot of science that goes into providing pure essential oils. doTERRA's sourcing model and testing practices set them apart from the essential oil world and ensure the quality of their essential oils. When you choose doTERRA, you are choosing essential oils gently and carefully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. These are the reasons that we choose doTERRA for our family!

1. CPTG

The purity of an essential oil is its most important characteristic. An essential oil that isn’t pure means you run the risk of putting germs, heavy metals, or adulterants onto or into your body, which can provoke irritation, adverse effects, or even sickness. There hasn't really been a standard set for the quality of essential oils. doTERRA created CPTG, or Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. This testing process ensures that there are no added fillers, synthetic ingredients or harmful contaminants. doTERRA even goes a step further, putting all their products and the packaging through a battery of tests to ensure a long and effective shelf-life. This protocol ensures potency, purity, and consistency batch to batch. You can read more about the testing process here. 

 2. Co-Impact Sourcing

One of my absolute favorite things about doTERRA  is their co-impact sourcing. I LOVE that they are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to doTERRA’s oil production.  With over 100 essential oils in its product line, doTERRA sources its oils from over 40 countries —more than half of which could be considered developing countries. We've basically cut out the middle man and work directly with our farmers and distillers, providing them fair, timely pay, better living conditions and all that they need to properly grow and distill our essential oils.

3. Healing Hands

The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is their non-profit organization. We've partnered with lots of organizations that provide hope and healing to the world. doTERRA covers all the overhead and administrative costs of the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation and 100% of all donations go directly to receiving aids.
