<<0>> millions of people globally have come to
<<3>> rely upon essential oils for their
<<5>> beneficial effects
<<7>> used consistently essential oils support
<<9>> the healthy function of body systems and
<<12>> help maintain a state of homeostasis
<<15>> because of their popularity many new
<<17>> companies have sought to capitalize
<<20>> on market trends and sell
<<22>> essential oils
<<24>> unfortunately there is a myth that all
<<27>> essential oils are created equal that
<<29>> the lavender you buy online or in your
<<32>> local grocery store
<<34>> is the same quality as doterra essential
<<37>> oils but this couldn't be further from
<<40>> the truth doterra isn't just the largest
<<43>> essential oil company in the world
<<45>> doterra essential oils are the most
<<48>> tested
<<49>> and trusted brand of essential oils as
<<52>> well
<<53>> quite frankly we aren't comparing apples
<<55>> to apples when we compare doterra to
<<58>> store-bought essential oils
<<60>> no when people compare doterra essential
<<63>> oils to other brands
<<65>> we're often comparing apples to a durian
<<69>> the problem is that the quality and
<<72>> purity of essential oil
<<74>> determines whether an essential oil
<<76>> provides beneficial responses in the
<<78>> body and the majority of these upstart
<<81>> companies are poorly qualified to
<<84>> determine essential oil quality and
<<87>> purity
<<88>> what is the answer to this problem of
<<90>> adulterated and poor quality essential
<<92>> oils
<<93>> flooding the market today
<<95>> the answer is meticulous testing
<<99>> testing and purity go hand in hand and
<<102>> purity is the most important
<<104>> characteristic
<<105>> of an essential oil closely
<<108>> followed by composition
<<110>> if an essential oil isn't pure you run
<<112>> the risk of germs heavy metals or
<<115>> adulterants entering your body which can
<<118>> provoke adverse reactions such as
<<120>> irritation
<<122>> and even sickness
<<124>> doterra's industry-leading cptg testing
<<127>> process
<<128>> involves a series of tests and
<<131>> meticulous protocols to ensure purity
<<134>> potency
<<135>> and consistency batch to batch
<<139>> combined with our unique sourcing model
<<141>> called co-impact sourcing
<<144>> the cptg process safeguards each bottle
<<148>> of doterra essential oils you use
<<150>> against added fillers synthetic
<<152>> ingredients and harmful contaminants
<<156>> i think it's important to call out the
<<158>> co-impact sourcing process here
<<160>> the quality and composition of an
<<163>> essential oil is dependent on intrinsic
<<166>> and extrinsic factors
<<168>> as the plant grows
<<170>> a plant's essential oil composition
<<172>> continually adapts to the plant's
<<174>> internal and external environment
<<177>> the plant creates essential oils as
<<180>> secondary metabolites
<<182>> when they are needed to defend the plant
<<184>> against predators or pathogens aid
<<187>> tissue healing processes attract
<<189>> pollinators or participate in
<<191>> plant-to-plant communication
<<194>> our co-impact sourcing strategy gives us
<<197>> visibility
<<198>> at all aspects of the plant cycle from
<<201>> seed selection to planting cultivation
<<204>> to harvesting and everything in between
<<208>> co-impact sourcing allows us to control
<<210>> for important factors that lead to
<<212>> quality and to partner with local
<<215>> experts to produce the highest quality
<<218>> essential oils in the world
<<221>> once the plant is harvested care is
<<223>> taken to preserve plant integrity and
<<226>> essential oil quality until it is
<<228>> extracted from the botanical material
<<231>> distillation and extraction of aromatic
<<234>> molecules is both an art and a science
<<237>> and doterra leverages years of
<<239>> experience
<<240>> and modern technologies and techniques
<<243>> to produce the best essential oils you
<<245>> can buy
<<246>> in addition to ensuring purity the cptg
<<250>> process evaluates the chemical
<<252>> composition of essential oils to make
<<255>> sure that the ideal ratio of volatile
<<258>> organic compounds are present for
<<261>> maximum
<<262>> efficacy and reliable results
<<266>> for example we don't simply want to know
<<268>> that linole and linolel acetate are
<<271>> present in lavender essential oil but
<<274>> how much of each are present in the oil
<<277>> and what ratio in comparison to each
<<280>> other they are present within the oil
<<283>> determining this and comparing
<<285>> constituent amounts and ratios to an
<<288>> established standard helps confirm that
<<291>> you will get the intended results from
<<294>> using doterra lavender essential oil or
<<297>> any other doterra oil for that matter
<<300>> chemistry is the foundation of pure high
<<304>> quality essential oils
<<306>> the cptg process doesn't use one single
<<309>> test
<<311>> rather it leverages several tests
<<313>> layered one on top of another to
<<315>> identify its chemical composition
<<318>> physical properties and rule out
<<320>> impurities and adulterants in each
<<323>> essential oil versus astringent standard
<<327>> of great importance is the database the
<<330>> essential oils are tested against
<<332>> quality and purity standards should be
<<334>> established from scientifically
<<336>> validated standards pharmacopeia
<<338>> standards peer-reviewed research
<<340>> publications
<<342>> and a database created from the
<<344>> evaluation and testing of thousands of
<<347>> essential oil samples
<<349>> then a qualified and experienced chemist
<<352>> must review the results
<<355>> recently the national center for natural
<<357>> products research compared
<<360>> authentic lavender essential oil samples
<<362>> to commercial samples and concluded that
<<365>> from 25
<<367>> to 90
<<368>> of commercial lavender essential oil
<<371>> samples are adulterated either with
<<374>> cheaper substitutes or the addition of
<<376>> synthetic chemicals
<<379>> similarly a recent report by the
<<381>> american botanical council found that
<<383>> about half of 43 commercial tea tree
<<386>> essential oil samples
<<388>> tested in three analytical laboratories
<<391>> did not meet the chemical composition of
<<393>> a authentic tea tree oil
<<396>> with doterra you don't need to worry
<<398>> about this
<<399>> our cptg process ensures that you get
<<403>> pure
<<404>> natural and authentic essential oils in
<<407>> every bottle
<<409>> you can use doterra essential oils with
<<411>> confidence and an understanding that
<<414>> your body will positively respond to
<<417>> their purity and potency
