Not all essential oils are created equal. Just because it says pure, doesn’t mean it truly is. Due to the numerous side effects of synthetically derived medicines, many people are trying to transform their lifestyles through natural solutions. Over 80% of oils commercially sold, so-called “natural” essential oils are adulterated or contaminated according to Prabodh Satyal from the Aromatic Plant Research Center. This means that oils from places like Homegoods, Amazon, Whole Foods, and Target, are most likely filled with pesticides, synthetic fillers, contaminants and more. Unfortunately, due to a lack of complete instrumental techniques and strict government regulation, adulteration of natural products is rampant all over the world. According to scientists, “adulterations not only have the potential to alter the chemical and physical properties of an oil, but they can decrease the efficacy of the oil and even cause adverse effects.” That being said, you can actually do more harm to your body than good if you are using adulterated or contaminated oils. This is why it is so important to use high quality pure essential oils like doTERRA.
However, it’s not always easy to gain access to information regarding oils other than doTERRA because the FDA does not regulate the essential oil industry. Additionally, there are no industry standards for companies to abide by. This means companies can play by their own rules when it comes to adding shady ingredients to their oils.
Not all oils are created equal

Why doTERRA
doTERRA is the most trusted essential oil company for three main reasons.
1.) Indigenous Sourcing: doTERRA sources their oils from where plants thrive most. For example, lavender is indigenous in western Europe which is where doTERRA sources their lavender oil from. Lavender grown in Bulgaria has a completely different chemistry and potency that lavender essential oil grown in Utah or somewhere else. The chemical makeup of the oil is what makes it potent. This is why some oils you may have tried from another company do not seem to do anything. With doTERRA essential oils, they really work! Deriving essential oils from where they are indigenous ensures that the oils are at their most potent forms. When dōTERRA looks for sourcing partnerships, they deliberately choose locations where we can improve the individual, social, economic, and environmental well-being, while producing the highest quality essential oils.
