DoTerra dealers in my area tell me buying oils on line at this site are watered-down oils. Is this true or are they certified doTerra products?

This is actually a violation of DoTerra's agreements and they do risk having their membership as an advocate revoked. It specifically stats in the agreements etc. that the only online site that can actually SELL the product, is the DoTerra site that gets setup for them by DoTerra when they enroll. Even actually selling through social media is not allowed. Just because they do not always actively monitor and enforce it, and the oils are not watered down, does not make it legitimate.

The ones I got seem fine, however I am a first time user so not sure if I'd be able to tell. Also I bought the lemon from a certified doterra distributor an it seems comparable to the one from amazon

you can buy "new" caps that self seal and so they look like they have never been opened. These caps are cheap (26 cents a piece) so it is very easy for a seller to buy a bottle of oil from doTerra, pour out half or more and keep for themselves, and then fill the bottle back up with a carrier oil like coconut oil or grapeseed oil and the buyer would not be able to tell the difference. I'd rather buy wholesale direct from the company and no that no one has tampered with it than save a dollar or two and risk getting diluted oil.

I wondered about the legitimacy of buying a home sales product on Amazon as well (mostly comparing the prices) and found that consultants are legally allowed to sell their extra product on Amazon as long as the pricing is within a certain percentage of wholesale price. On a personal note, my product arrived in doTerra packaging and had not been tampered with in any way. I hope this fully answers your question.

The oils I ordered were not watered down. I can't verify they are certified but mine work beautifully! I normally do order through my representative.

Bottles are sealed and not tampered. Of course they will tell you not to buy from online sites because they loose money (and commissions too), think about it! Yes, there are some goofs here and there that try to be slick but amazon is pretty good dealing with those cases. When you order make sure is from a trusted seller, check and read the feedbacks, it will help!

If the seller has a wellness advocate number listed, then it is doTerra product. If they are unwilling to post their advocate number on the site, then they are likely knockoffs.

You can purchase the oils only. Just look up, in your case, Harmony Tierra oil scent oil refill, and your options will appear.

It doesn't make sense to me either, and is certainly not accurate. I bought the bottle because of the sale price, and it was definitely cheaper than getting it through doTERRA. Same great quality--but cheaper--especially with Amazon Prime.

Looks like I bought it directly from : essentialoils0910 , not from doTerra. I just searched and it looks like essentialoils0910 doesn't have this item currently. I just searched on doTerra and they have it for $14, I paid $20. I was willing to try anything for my breathing problem. Ended up being an allergy.

This is an exceptional product....not familiar with doterra essential oils.

I have never used doTERRA Balance either, but I have used a lot of their other oils and bought them from Amazon. As far as I know they all smell the same. In fact, I have a bottle of Serenity bought from doTERRA website and a bottle of Serenity bought from Amazon and they are exactly the same - looks and smell.

Unfortunatly most oilive oils sold today are not pure . Nobody monitors the industry. In reality only God knows whats in those bottles. Some of the oils are actually toxic to your body. You HAVE TO RESEARCH. Hope this helps. Trader Joes Kirkland are two good ones

Mine too. It is because it is a fake product. Diluted or even totally replaced by cheap carrier oil and mostly peppermint. I had a DoTerra rep look at mine, and it is definitely NOT their true product. the protective seal was broken on mine when it arrived as well. I will only purchase from a direct rep next time.

They're the same...the amazon sellers are doterra sellers selling oils at wholesale prices...people who sell doterra get all pissy because instead of people buying them retail PLUS paying 8.99 for shipping on one of these bottles you're saving money...each seller on amazon will have a doterra #

I get my oils from a company called Plant Therapy. Ther are other companies that are good, but have a tiered marketing system which inflates the cost. You want to look for theraputic grade essential oils which are the purest, and if they are organic, too, that is even better. There are some other good companies that sell their oils direct to you on the internet. Just look up Theraputic, Organic essential oils.

My understanding is that there are no longer any "certified" doterra suppliers on Amazon, and doTERRA is cracking down on anyone attempting to sell on Amazon. Have peace of mind and purchase directly from doterra instead by going to www.mydoterra.com/thehealthyhome.

There is no such thing. DoTerra uses that term as a marketing gimmick. They actually trademarked the letter "CPTG" - certified-pure-therapeutic-grade." - laughable. There is no formal definition of what it takes to make an oil "Therapeutic Grade" & any company that claims that, I would not buy from because they are trying to mislead you.

The label in the picture looks exactly like the TerraShield I have at home. I can't recall if I've ordered this particular one off Amazon or directly from DoTerra but the DoTerra oils I've ordered from Amazon have been fine.

I just had a friend buy this here, wanted to save dollars and unfortunately it was tampered, not the real deal at all. She had one direct from DoTerra and was able to know the difference immediately.

It's so hard to tell on anything from DoTerra on amazon. Because Doterra is a direct sales company anything sold here is through Doterra distributors that are selling off their personal inventory or free products. It's hard to know if the oil you are getting has been tampered with (diluted or changed in some way). The prices they are sold here for are the same prices you can buy them for straight from Doterra with their $30 annual membership. For me it was better piece if mind just ordering straight from Doterra myself instead of benefiting a third party. That way nothing was in question and I know exactly what I'm getting.

I never buy oils with that designation because it's essentially meaningless. Feels scammy to me, even if they're decent oils. I've never used this product.

DoTerra uses ml bottles I believe. I can fit 5 ml & 10 ml bottles in my wooden box! Other brands of oils are too tall!!
