All About Guaiacwood

The Process
The Heart of El Chaco Forest

The Gran Chaco Forest in Paraguay


As the second largest forest in Latin America and ​among the most rapidly deforested areas in the world.


Currently, more than 1,000 kilograms of Guaiacwood ​essential oil is produced and exported from El Chaco ​each year, primarily for the fragrance and perfume ​industries.


Although Paraguay has officially established ​regulations and policies to protect El Chaco from ​deforestation, enforcement is lacking.

dōTERRA carefully chose a Guaiacwood sourcing ​partner who was committed to protecting El Chaco. ​Our partner is currently the only company in the area ​that has received the highest levels of certification ​from the Union for Ethical Biotrade (UEBT).


Our partner has spent many years developing a first-​of-its-kind ethical and sustainable Guaiacwood ​sourcing operation, and we are eager to support their ​efforts.
