Growers
doTERRA partners with artisans from over 40 countries who have refined their practices through an integrated approach of agriculture, producers, and extraction. In these exclusive partnerships, we know the smallest details matter.
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
To work with committed partners and ensure the best growing conditions, doTERRA sources essential oils from across the globe. With an ever-expanding product line that includes over 250 essential oils sourced from over 40 countries, doTERRA truly offers the best gifts of the earth.
The doTERRA commitment to quality begins long before seeds are planted. Unlike companies that establish farms in convenient locations, doTERRA goes where each plant grows best and partners with experienced growers and their networks of harvesters and distillers worldwide. Many of our partner producers have been honing their craft for generations, bringing unparalleled expertise to every step of the process, from planting to distillation.
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 doing so, responsibly supports thousands of jobs around the world.
Special and Sweet
Extensive, intentional sourcing partnerships empower doTERRA to produce proprietary essential oils and blends that preserve the purity and potency of each plant, ensuring users receive a product that’s truly special and sweet.
When we better understand where an ingredient comes from, we have an opportunity to identify how doTERRA can be a force for good for a network of local distillers, farmers, and harvesters, as well as their land, and their communities. dоTERRA prioritizes partnerships that create space for collaboration towards ore sustainable practices, innovative essential oil production, and positive impact. Co-Impact Sourcing plays an important role in fulling the doTERRA mission to Help the World Heal.
