Is this FDA approved? I have a doterra rep telling me that generic brands, such as the ones on amazon, are opened/watered down/then resealed.

Let's ask the FDA ...they've sent out warning letters just about 7 months ago to the 2. MLM companies. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm415809.http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2014/ucm416023.htm

To the best of my knowledge no essential oils are FDA approved, which is why it is hard to know which companies are selling pure oils. I have compared several Young Living oils with Edens Garden oils and how found them to be equally effective for me and they do not look or smell watered down.

The only way to know if they are pure is to buy oils that are certified organic with certification information on the label. Be wary of those labeled 100% organic but no certifying information. Otherwise it is a crap-shoot as to the quality you are getting.

The FDA approves of GMO's and Agent Orange components to be sprayed on food. Sadly, they have been corrupted by money. The head of the FDA used to lobby for Monsanto.

Well to be fair, they have the usda organic seal of approval which I thought was supposed to be a pain to do, but I couldn't guarantee they are for sure organic. I've bought a couple of bags now from them, they taste good, but have only once mixed them w cereal etc n had any grit or anything to them. Don't know if any red dye has been added, sorry not much help. Those are excellend questions though. ..did healthworks have a response about it? Im curious about the red coloring now though

You want to check to see if the cap has the doTERRA leaf logo. Sellers often open bottles and re-seal them with generic caps after diluting or reducing the amounts.

I've only ordered Doterra oils once on Amazon so far, (the lavender), and IMO it does not seem to be diluted; the lavender scent is concentrated, as expected. However I did find that the small inner cap on the bottle that I received is slightly defective, in that the oil dispenses from around the sides of the cap rather than from the middle and dispenses more than one drop at a time because of that. Other than this, the product seems to be fine. If I order any more from here in the future, I will update my customer review.

according to the skin medica website, products sold on internet websites, like this one, are either "watered down, expired, or not their product." but where the heck is the expiry date then????

My order was fine. The only issue I had was using it up after it was open before it went bad. After 2 or 3 months of use the remains turned to a gelatin like substance. I was almost done anyway and the product REALLY works (especially if you combine with the soap). I would guess a sealed new package should stay good for quite some time.

Yes they are. I have compared oils from iServe here on amazon to oils that came directly from doTerra and they are exactly the same. I will only order from iServe. I've gotten 3 oils from them and they were all perfect.

My wife and I both like "RedHots" brand. We bought THESE because of the low cost. We found Hoosier Hill to be just about as good as RedHots. My tastebuds are in very good shape, and we found NO problem like you described. Sounds like your batch got contaminated somehow.

My bottle was 'sealed' as well. When I looked closely I could see where someone had glued the cellophane to reseal. I was able to Remo e cellophane and replace to prove the point that to my wife. Very suspicious product.

I haven't noticed this order as of yet. I would contact the company. I would also like to add that we keep ours in the fridge so they stay nice and cool. Also if the company can't help you on this matter here is another one you might ant to check out. People with cancers and other diseases use this brand as well. Nutricology Pancreas, Natural Glandular (Pork), Capsules, 720-Count hope this helps

I have bought mine from my trainer, and from Amazon. I have had no problems with freshness from Amazon (although the price is much better). In fact, I just looked at my current supply of Vanilla UMP that arrived a couple of weeks ago (two jugs). They both have an expiration date of February 5, 2016, clearly stamped on the lower lip of the jug. I have also seen UMP for about $10 more than Amazon's price in one of my local health food stores, here in suburban Atlanta.

Marsha that would be on the bottle. If you receive a bottle with a short expiration date, contact Amazon and get the vendor to refund all of your $$ (including shipping). If they knowingly shipped you a bottle with a short expiration date. I have never had a problem with Amazon on matters such as this.When I received my MegaRed, the expiration date was fine. I recently ordered a much larger bottle offered from a different vendor.

That's the terminology they use for their own internal standards. FDA doesn't monitor essential oils. You could check to see if the plants used are certified organic. I bought a couple of sets but the only thing that worries me about this company is how little information is provided about who they are and what they do. You can't even navigate their website properly, and their facebook page has not been updated for a while.

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...

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.

Independent consultants are not supposed to sell it cheaper than wholesale price (25% off retail), as long as they sell for wholesale or higher there isn't a problem.75% of $93 is right close to the wholesale price $69.75.I've bought doterra oils from Amazon and they were fine. The black seal on the cap was secure and the expiration was also fine. =}

Doterra brands last a long time (Id say months) if stored in a cool dark place. I store them in a chest of drawers. I have read blogs that say they can last years but i use mine so frequently that storing them for long periods of time is not an issue for me. I am careful not to contaminate, however, and that I do not touch the opening with my fingers and instead pore directly onto a separate container and generally dilute for my uses. I do this with the stronger ones and most expensive ones. Keep in mind that less amount with more frequent treatments is the better course.
