About doTERRA

doTERRA is a privately held direct-selling company founded in 2008 in Utah, with headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Utah, USA. It operates in the essential oils category and uses a network marketing model, referring to its sellers as Wellness Advocates. The company is listed as operating in 12 European markets. Based on the information provided here, the company’s website did not say more about its ownership structure beyond being privately held.

doTERRA’s product range includes essential oils, oil blends, diffusers, supplements and personal care items. The company also uses its own “Certified Pure Tested Grade” (CPTG) quality label. This is an internal standard rather than an independent certification, which is worth understanding if product testing or third-party verification matters to you. doTERRA also runs a Co-Impact Sourcing programme with growers.

For someone joining, the model works through network marketing: individuals sign up as Wellness Advocates and sell products directly, while the structure may also involve recruiting others into the sales network. If you are considering joining, it is sensible to ask the company or the person recruiting you for the current income disclosure, the starter-kit cost, any ongoing membership fees, and whether there are monthly purchase requirements to remain active or qualify for commissions. The company’s website did not say those details in the facts supplied here.

Public feedback appears mixed. Common criticisms focus on pricing and membership fees. An editor note says a rating of about 3.1 was reported by a third-party review in February 2025, with the review count not verified. The rating supplied here is 3.1 on Trustpilot, as reported by a third-party review dated 2025-02. Before signing up, it is also worth asking for the refund policy and any buy-back terms for unsold stock or starter materials, so you can compare the commitment against other direct-selling companies.
