What You Might Not Know About doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing

On top of providing the highest quality essential oils, doTERRA is committed to making a positive impact in the lives of the farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to doTERRA’s oil production.

One aspect of doTERRA that often goes unnoticed by oil novices is their mission to source globally. Not only does that ensure the best quality oil is produced but it serves to better the economy of countless communities. doTERRA sources its oils from over 40 countries —more than half of which could be considered developing countries. To ensure that small scale farmers and harvesters in disadvantaged areas are treated ethically, doTERRA has introduced an initiative called Co-Impact Sourcing.

When plants become domesticated in the US their chemical constituents vary greatly from those who were grown in their natural habitat- this is why doTERRA strives to source their plants from their indigenous region, guaranteeing that the plant has access to the ideal amount of sunlight, soil, and care necessary to produce nothing short of the best oils in existence today.

doTERRA seeks to develop long-term, mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in underdeveloped areas. In doing so they work directly with the farmers which minimize the need for any middle man or brokers within the industry. Those communities who were paid unfair wages in the past now have an opportunity to provide for their family and do so from a place of integrity- selling their plants when they provide the most value to those of us who are using them for therapeutic purposes. On top of that, men are no longer forced to work in dangerous conditions and no longer have to sacrifice their dignity to earn money to take care of their children.

 doTERRA’s sourcing model truly provides global abundance.

Impacting endless lives from seed to seal.
