Integrating doTERRA Essential Oils:
When selecting essential oils, the brand you choose can make a significant difference in the quality, efficacy, and sustainability of the products. doTERRA stands out as a leader in the industry, known for its exceptional standards and ethical practices. Here’s why doTERRA should be your go-to choice for essential oils:
1. Co-Impact Sourcing: Ethical and Sustainable Practices
doTERRA sources its essential oils from all over the world, ensuring the highest quality and supporting the communities that produce them. This commitment is encapsulated in their Co-Impact Sourcing® initiative, which focuses on three main pillars:
Quality Sourcing: doTERRA partners with local farmers and distillers in over 40 countries, often in developing regions. This not only ensures access to the best plant materials but also fosters sustainable and ethical farming practices.
Economic Impact: By working directly with growers, doTERRA helps to create jobs and improve incomes for farmers and their families. This direct sourcing approach eliminates middlemen, allowing farmers to receive fair wages.
Community Development: doTERRA invests in the communities where they source their oils through the Healing Hands Foundation. This foundation funds projects such as building schools, providing clean water, and improving healthcare facilities.
2. Unmatched Purity and Potency: Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG)
The effectiveness of essential oils lies in their purity and potency. doTERRA ensures that every bottle of oil meets the highest standards through their rigorous testing process known as Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® (CPTG):
100% Pure Essential Oil: doTERRA oils are free from fillers, synthetic ingredients, and harmful contaminants. This purity is guaranteed through a series of strict testing procedures.
Rigorous Testing: Each batch of oil undergoes multiple tests, including Gas Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and more. These tests verify the chemical composition and purity of the oils.
Third-Party Testing: To ensure transparency and trust, doTERRA also employs independent labs to conduct additional testing on their oils.
3. Founding Executives: Integrity and Financial Stability
doTERRA’s strong foundation and leadership play a crucial role in its success and reliability:
Debt-Free Company: doTERRA is a privately owned and debt-free company, which allows it to make decisions that prioritize product quality and ethical practices over shareholder profits.
Experienced Leadership: The company was founded by a group of healthcare and business professionals with a shared vision of bringing pure, high-quality essential oils to the world. This leadership team is dedicated to maintaining doTERRA’s standards and mission.
