It's about more than quality. ​dōTERRA’s oils are sourced from more than 40 countries, over half of which are developing nations.  ​In addition to supplying the highest quality essential oils dōTERRA is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers, harvesters, and distillers who contribute to dōTERRA’s oil production.

Co - impact sourcing

​​Co-Impact Sourcing is an initiative that seeks to develop long-term, mutually beneficial supplier partnerships while creating sustainable jobs and providing reliable income in the developing nations that supply to dōTERRA.

 dōTERRA partners directly with communities that have farmed for generations the best raw material for oils on the planet, guaranteeing them long term secure contracts, fair & on time payment and ongoing community aid.

When you’re buying your Ice Blue for example, it’s not just your sore muscles that are winning. The Wintergreen in Ice Blue is wild grown and hand picked by women in Nepal, and you have literally contributed to helping real families put food on their tables, send their children to school, and go to sleep with peace in their heart knowing with certainty that they will have work tomorrow:

 

​​dōTERRA’s Healing Hands Foundation provides funding and resources to create community driven social impact projects to improve livelihoods in the communities where oils are sourced.  ​​It starts with a simple question: ‘What it is that your community really needs right now that we can provide some assistance with?’ dōTERRA doesn't assume that they know the answer - they listen.   Water. Medical. Schooling. Natural disaster relief. Micro-credit lending. Skills training. Health education.
