There has been a lot of discussions about the price of therapeutic grade essential oils. The main reason why quality essential oils are not cheap is because they are quality and quality has a price tag to it.
In addition, high grade essential oils like doTERRA are made by rare products that need to be harvested and in many cases in far off lands. Essential oils are made from different parts of the plant, flower or tree so the handling the raw product needs to be done carefully. Any damage or impact on the raw product will have a massive influence on the standard and therapeutic properties of the oil. This means that strictly only skilled and experienced artisans can be employed to do this type of work.
Unlike my companies, doTERRA pays the harvesters and distillers a fair living wage and on time. This includes food and cash prepayments divided up during the year. For example, they works directly with the frankincense harvesters and not a middleman to insure the harvester gets the best price for the time and effort. This relationship guarantees a stable and reliable harvest as well as an income for the harvester.
You will be surprised how much raw material it takes to make a drop of oil.
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant constituents so producing a single drop of essential oil can take a considerable amount of the raw plant material.
To make 1.25l of lavender essential oil the distiller will need about 130kg of lavender flowers. This mean that the typical 15ml of lavender oil will need about 1.5kg of lavender flowers.
If you are reading thing page and the quality is not that important to you, the therapeutic grade quality protocol may not interest you. However, if you are you may want to know why you should not rub cheap essential oils onto your skin.
The purity of an oil is vital if you are intending to use it for therapeutic reasons. If the oil is not 100% pure you are likely to get rashes, burns, and even ill, so the cheap oils are only good for a diffuser. The cheap oils even used with a diffuser are a bit sickly and mildly toxic so don't use in a small or enclosed area.
On the other hand, the therapeutic grade quality protocol insures that immediately after distillation the chemical makeup of the oil is pure without any fillers or heavy metals.

The most important characteristic for the highest quality essential oil is its purity. This is reflected in the price and the time and effort of everyone involved in the process right up to the time the customer receives their oils. An essential oil that isn’t pure means you run the risk of putting germs, heavy metals, or adulterants onto or into your body, which can provoke irritation, adverse effects, or even sickness.
