The dōTERRA Difference
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.
Sourcing Where
Plants Thrive Most
In order to work with committed partners and to ensure the best growing conditions, dōTERRA sources essential oils from across the globe. With an ever-expanding product line that includes over 100 different essential oils sourced from over 40 nations, dōTERRA truly offers Earth’s best gifts.
Spikenard
Spikenard is native to high altitudes in the sub-alpine and alpine regions of the Himalayan mountains. Historically, Spikenard has been used to uplift mood, promote relaxation, support healthy cardiovascular function, and to promote smooth, healthy skin. dōTERRA supports income streams for harvesters and partner distillers as well as supports needed rural community development projects.
Petitgrain
Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, which has a long history of use in traditional health practices. By sourcing Petitgrain from Paraguay, dōTERRA supports rural community development projects, provides diversified income streams for producers, and contributes positively to the biodiversity challenges facing the country.
While the temptation for a company as large as dōTERRA may be to buy large plots of land and mass produce oils, dōTERRA places great value on the expert knowledge of local farmers—many of whom have nurtured essential oil plants for generations. dōTERRA recruits their expertise into a Global Botanical Network and, in so doing, responsibly supports thousands of jobs around the world.
Unique and Unrivaled
doTERRA’s extensive sourcing partnerships empower doTERRA to produce exclusive, proprietary oils and blends that preserve the purity and potency of each plant. Eighty-four percent of doTERRA single oils and oil blends are exclusive, ensuring that essential oil users receive a product that is truly unique and unrivaled.
Through dōTERRA’s Global Botanical Network of farmers and essential oil producers, dōTERRA has leveraged the experience of skilled partners around the world to create the optimal supply chain for production, distillation, and distribution, enabling dōTERRA to supply these essential oils directly to you and your loved ones.

Sourcing Guiding Principals
We go to the ends of the earth to source the best quality oils, but before we enter into partnerships, we ensure that growers adhere to our strict Sourcing Guiding Principles.
We then rigorously monitor and audit all partners to verify that they are adhering to our Sourcing Guiding Principles criteria.
Co-Impact Sourcing® requires our partners to ensure fair labor conditions and to promote safe and healthy working environments free from exploitive practices, harassment, and discrimination. Furthermore, it requires partners to comply, at a minimum, with national and local laws and ILO conventions on health and safety, working conditions, and labor laws.
Co-Impact Sourcing supports and respects the right of all employees and producers to form and join cooperatives, to bargain collectively, and to maximize the benefits of collective organization. Such collective membership often enables members to obtain better pricing on agricultural inputs, better access to financial instruments, as well as access to collectively-owned harvesting and other equipment.
Co-Impact Sourcing promotes the use of energy efficient technologies and renewable energy technologies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. doTERRA seeks to minimize the impact of waste streams on the environment, and encourages agricultural producers to minimize their environmental impacts. Priority is given to buying products made from raw materials that originate from sustainably managed sources, and bulk goods are dispatched by sea wherever possible to minimize carbon footprint.
doTERRA recognizes that the well-being of communities surrounding our sourcing partners is key to the long-term viability of essential oil supply. Increasing livelihoods and improving living standards in these communities at large is one of the primary goals of Co-Impact Sourcing. Premiums are often paid for Co-Impact Sourced oils, and these funds, as well as contributions from the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation™, are used to support community development projects such as the construction of schools, health clinics, training facilities, and clean water systems.
When dōTERRA looks for sourcing partnerships, we deliberately choose locations where we can improve the individual, social, economic, and environmental well-being, while producing the highest quality essential oils.
As many of our essential oils grow best in developing countries, dōTERRA is in a unique position to build and support ethical supply chains that benefit rural communities in need.
Oftentimes, experienced essential oil farmers, harvesters, growers, and distillers in underdeveloped areas are paid unfairly or taken advantage of, limiting their ability to escape poverty. Co-Impact Sourcing provides the tools needed to help lift these families and communities out of poverty and promote economic development. dōTERRA adheres to additional Sourcing Guiding Principles when working in developing nations.
Nepal
Wintergreen
dōTERRA sources Wintergreen essential oil from the remotest regions of the Himalayan foothills of Nepal where growing conditions are optimal.
dōTERRA is committed to ensuring sustainable harvesting practices are used, and in communities where wintergreen is wild-harvested, our partners have formed Forest Community User Groups to collectively own and oversee forest areas.
Nepal
Spikenard
Harvesting Spikenard can be extremely labor intensive and difficult as the harvesters must climb the hills of the Himalayas to reach the best Spikenard.
The harvesters will only take part of the plant, and then must re-plant its remains in order to sustain the growth of Spikenard in this Northeast Region of Nepal. This initiative is expanding our impact in Nepal.
Madagascar
Ylang ylang
One of the biggest struggles ylang ylang growers and harvesters face is receiving fair treatment, particularly when dealing with middlemen.
Through the dōTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing partnership with distillers and harvesters on the island of Nosy Be, those who are working to produce Ylang ylang essential oil can receive proper compensation for their efforts.
Haiti
Vetiver
dōTERRA launched a Co-Impact Sourcing Initiative in the Haitian commune of Les Cayes. This Co-Impact Sourcing Initiative aims to solve the issue of disorganization among farmers, by forming cooperatives.
Paraguay
Petitgrain
Petitgrain oil has been a part of the Paraguayan heritage for centuries due to the abundance of rain and land to grow it on.
Previously, there was a low demand for Petitgrain, but dōTERRA’s interest in it has sparked an interest amongst farmers and re-ignited their desire to get involved in the Petitgrain industry again.
Guatemala
Cardamom
Most of the world’s supply of cardamom is grown for the spice market, with only one percent of cardamom distilled for its essential oil.
The market is so unstable and saturated with middlemen that farmers have a hard time making enough money to be able to sustain quality cardamom production.
You and your family deserve only the most pure, potent, and effective oils on earth. dōTERRA takes great pride in sourcing them to you.
