A friend that sells doTerra oils told me that the products offered on Amazon are "not real" doTerra products. Are these knockoffs?

My experience is that they are the same product. I have a friend who sells doTerra and she recommended looking at prices on Amazon.

Most of the products such as this (especially salon hair products) that are sold on Amazon from a company different than the label are from the gray market. That means they may have been purchased in wholesale or possibly stolen, and then resold to make a profit. It's likely the real product, but without the same quality control (e.g. expiration date).

For anybody who is REALLY reading all the glorious reviews and paying attention, make note of the fact that there are SEVERAL reviews (just within the last week) with the exact same subject of "Five Stars", each one or two days apart. Clearly these people are shills for whoever is selling this product and are getting reimbursed for their review and "verified purchase." That fact alone is enough for me to NOT buy this oil from Amazon.

No, it's real Doterra. My girlfriend said the same thing. But I've purchased online and it's legitimate. Plus, who honestly has the time to manufacture a fake product and then seal it back up the same way it looked when original? To mesuch wouldn't seem cost effective. I believe due to the pyramidesqueness of the company they wish for you to purchase through the company's individual seller website

Yes. We use doTerra oils which are great! You can order them on mydoterra.com/wilsonoils

of course. doTerra, Young Living and Aura Cacia are all great oils. There may be others who claim they are pharmaceutical grade... not sure where their oils are coming from...

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.

Yes I want to know this too, please. Been advised never to buy YL oils from Amazon or other source other than YL direct because they've been tampered with in some way or another. This is a great price and I'm tempted anyway! Comments?

No! This is terrible! I wouldn't waste your money on this and especially when using good oils like Doterra. The Doterra diffuser is sooo much better and worth the price. This diffuser broke after 2 uses.

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.

Yes, they are an actual doterra product. They have a pretty strong cinnamon and clove taste to them.

If you're not buying directly crom doterra and going through a third party seller then it's possible it has been tampered with. I'm a product consultant with doterra and I've never had a problem with any of their products. The deep blue is what made me join the company. I would recommend buying doterra direct so you don't have problems.

I have no idea about that. The one I ordered doesn't have anything about YL on it. I've ordered other doTerra oils, and this one is very comparable to those.
1733828
Yes, they are authentic. Doesn't Amazon stand behind the products they sell anyway?

I am not an expert on doTerra but from what I have seen there is coconut oil in the blends but not the pure oils.

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.

"It is very easy to take off the cap/ring and either dilute or replace the oil with a cheaper brand and then put on A NEW CAP AND SEAL and sell it for profit. Amazon has very little control over quality." Personally, I have purchased oils on Amazon that were certainly diluted even though it came with a sealed cap. Some doTERRA sellers on Amazon are selling authentic and pure oils and some aren't. (Quote source: http://www.healinginourhomes.com/2014/08/how-to-buy-doterra-essential-oils-and.html)

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 sent an email to doterra as well and I received an email back saying that they would pass my email along to their product development team. It's very unfortunate that they are using these ingredients in an 'all natural' toothpaste, very deceiving...

Go to the manufacturer's site (quirky-dot-com), look at the colors they're selling there. No match between manufacturer's colors and what's being sold on Amazon. Looks like everything sold on Amazon is knock-offs, but using the manufacturer's name. Seems logical to think the widely-reported terrible smells are because the products being sold are fake. I'd expect Amazon to do something about this.
