Instead of growing plants wherever it’s easiest, dōTERRA sources them from places where they naturally thrive. Climate, soil, altitude, and environment all play a role in producing the highest quality essential oils. That’s why more than 140 dōTERRA oils come from over 45 different countries around the globe.
But it’s not just about the plants, it’s also about the people behind them.
Through Cō-Impact Sourcing, dōTERRA works directly with farmers and distillers, many of whom live in rural or developing regions. They receive training, better tools, and are paid well above fair-trade value for their harvests. This helps support their communities while ensuring the oils are produced with care and quality in mind.
In the end, it benefits everyone involved. Farmers gain stable income and sustainable opportunities, and we receive oils grown exactly where nature intended them to be.
