What is an essential Oil?
Natural
compounds found in the stems, seeds, flowers, bark, and other parts of

dōTERRA Essential Oil … the only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG)
Essential oil companies do an initial MS (mass spectroscopy) test, and
then file the results away and only do a GC (gas chromatography) test on
subsequent batches. GC cannot determine whether a substance is natural
or synthetic nor can it determine if the oil is pure or if it has the
correct constituents. Further, because the MS test is expensive it
eliminates most of the
essential oil companies from wanting to conduct it on every batch. The
GC test is not as expensive. To maintain the highest quality in the
industry, doTERRA is the ONLY
Company that has both MS and GS run on EVERY batch of oil. With MS there
are six different tests run per batch and these tests are done by
independent testing companies, outside of doTERRA. Once you
start using doTERRA essential oils you WILL see a big difference from
other oils.
