DOTERRA MLM COMPANY
“THE GIFT OF EARTH “
doTERRA is a Multi-Level Marketing company based in Utah, United States of America. As I researched the best skincare-based Multi-Level Marketing companies, I found this exciting and popular company among them called “doTERRA“. The name is inspired by the Latin phrase “The Gift of Earth.”
doTERRA was founded in 2008 by former executives of ‘Young Living‘. doTERRA has already proved its space in Multi-Level Market by selling the best essential oils and other related products.
The company initially launched with twenty-five single varieties of oils and ten blended oils. Research shows that the assertion of aromatherapy through certain oils is beyond relaxation and can have curative, healing properties. Let’s get into more details about doTERRA in the following article. But before that, let me give you a short briefing about what is Multi-Level Marketing Business.
MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING: EXPLANATION
Multi-Level Marketing is a legitimate business method used by direct selling companies to market and sell products and their services.
Multi-Level Marketing is also known as Network Marketing. The MLM representatives are paid with a percentage of commission calculated from their product sales and the recruitments they made to their network line. Commission distribution is based on the company rules and policies; it can be different from one company to another.
The people who recruit new members are known as ‘Sponsors‘. Here, the sponsors will be earning commissions from every single sale and recruitments their downline members make. As we talked about Multi-Level Marketing, now let’s get into more details about doTERRA.
HISTORY OF DOTERRA
The doTERRA company was established in April 2008 by David Stirling, Emily Wright, David Hill, Corey B. Lindley, Gregory P. Cook, Robert J. Young, and Mark A. Among them, Wolfert. Stirling, Wright, and Hill were former associates of another Multi-Level Marketing company that sells essential oil known as ‘Young Living’.
In 2013, the company announced building a new headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
As a study made on the report by doTERRA, I realized that they had 450 corporate employees at the initial stage. Around 350 employees at the U.S. headquarters in Utah, and 100 employees at offices in Taiwan, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
These Marketing individuals are rewarded with commissions based on their sales, recruitment, and the sales and recruitments their downline members make.
A ‘downline‘ refers to the member or network members that the consultant/ sponsor had recruited or joined the organization after their enrollment. The downline represents income for the consultant, as they receive a percentage of their recruit’s sales.
People always want to know what makes doTERRA so unique, among the other skincare based Multi-Level Marketing Companies. So, I thought about including a popular question here in this article and talk about it.
WHY IS DOTERRA SO POPOULAR?
doTERRA is very popular with the best quality products and services offered by them. doTERRA has also earned its popularity through its traditional knowledge in making the purest and natural supplements. There are no chemicals, contaminants, or adulterations in their product. Industries didn’t have a standard to ensure purity at that time, so doTERRA introduced one.
Every batch of doTERRA essential oils goes through a accurate testing process. After that, each oil is sent to an independent third party for further testing and validation. Which makes their products stand among the best in the market. Let’s look at some of the popular products of doTERRA in the current market.
POPULAR PRODUCTS & SERVICES OF DOTERRA
doTERRA brought together house fresheners in the market, creating the Aroma Essentials Collection. By the end of 2015, the company declared that it had generated more than 1 Billion USD in sales. The company’s products and services are marketed through independent distributors using the Multi-Level Marketing method. The doTERRA address their associates as “Wellness Advocates”.

Frankincense, Helichrysum, Tea Tree, Cedarwood, and Lavender are the main ingredients of this solution. This petroleum-free, preservative-free cream absorbs quickly and is gentle and non-irritating, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
As we have discussed the best selling products of doTERRA, Let’s now look at the charity missions and projects organized by doTERRA.

Many families/ persons struggle to afford food, hygiene supplies, cleaning supplies, and healthy surrounding.

Let me point out major three charity projects organized by doTERRA.
HEALING HANDS FOUNDATION
The doTERRA “Healing Hands Foundation” donated to the organization called “Healing Hands for Haiti,” a non-profit institution that provides support and services for people with disabilities in a place called ‘Haiti’. Independent institution from doTERRA’s Healing Hands Foundation, the Healing Hands for Haiti is a powerful mission to help disabled individuals struggling in Haiti. The Healing Hands for Haiti provided medicines and clinical of them. They have also offered rehabilitation, education, training, and health care facilities for Haitians.
INTERNATIONAL EXTREMITY PROJECT
In December of 2017, Devin and Flecher Fleurdujon were invited by the “International Extremity Project (IEP)” to create pre and post-operative protocols using essential oils. A team of American doctors were sent to Vietnam to deliver the product and monitor the following surgeries. They both helped the residents to check in on all the patients and created “Mood kits” as a gesture of support to each patient. Devin and Flecher also administered oils to all the doctors during surgeries, which grew to have favourites, and people started asking for the specific oils.
DAYS FOR GIRLS PROJECT
doTERRA International recently made donations due to their relationship with a non-profit organization called “Days for Girls”. By providing financial assistance and feminine hygiene kits and supplies and educating them about proper hygiene methods to girls worldwide.
FUTURE OF DOTERRA
Tim Valentine’s (Vice President of doTERRA’s) article talks about harvesting and over-harvesting “Frankincense Trees”, an important content used in doTERRA products. It also explains the pressures that are currently facing throughout Northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula area.
doTERRA was grateful for the opportunity to increase the sustainability initiatives they developed and implemented over several years. It also gave them a opportunity to talk about the current challenges and pressures faced by ‘Boswellia trees’, producing different resins more commonly known as “Frankincense”.
However, because of the lack of regulation by the government in these areas, the future of frankincense depends on responsible and ethical companies like doTERRA. They spend most of their time proactively monitoring, training, and ensuring there is no over-harvesting.
Harvesting, Preserving, and Regulating the use of frankincense is a great process we can do for our future generations. And doTERRA has proudly started initiating the process already. Also, they are researching and propagating more information about Frankincense Trees and more other species to understand spread its awareness and benefits around the world.

Every person/family will soon be using their certified, pure and therapeutic essential oils. There is significant growth in a career opportunities with this company as well. doTERRA is one of the pioneer companies in Multi-Level Marketing industries, providing superior products, best quality service, and taking the initiative to make a global impact on harvesting and preserving essential plants.
