How to join dōTERRA in the US: free membership, the new kits and the enrollment form

Joining dōTERRA in the US costs nothing right now: membership is free with your first order, and from then on you pay wholesale prices, 25% below retail, for a year. What did change is the kit lineup. In October 2026 Family Essentials disappeared from the US form, so if a friend told you “get Family Essentials”, here is what to pick instead.

Is it free to join dōTERRA in the US?

The customer enrollment route currently shows Membership FREE, with the previous $35 crossed out. We opened “Build your own bag” on 11 November 2026 and reached an empty product bag: the checkout message required adding a product for the free annual membership. A starter kit is not required, but the free-membership message does not mean you can finish with no purchase.

The current US Wholesale Customer agreement also states that there is no signup fee. An official FAQ quotes $35 while describing becoming a Wellness Advocate, so that figure should not be applied to this customer route. Read the account type and current summary rather than assuming that customer and business enrollment have identical conditions.

Annual renewal is separate. The official US membership comparison still lists $25 with a free product; check the gift and total offered for your account. Details are in our renewal guide.

US starter kits and prices, October 2026

Kit	Wholesale	What’s inside
Nature’s Rx Kit	$149.50	12 oils, 5 mL each, and fractionated coconut oil
Foundational Wellness Bundle	$149.50	supplements only: VMG+, EO Mega+, PB Restore
Essential Foundations	$265	the Nature’s Rx oils plus the Foundational Wellness supplements
Home Essentials	$280	11 oils in 15 mL and Deep Blue 5 mL; a free diffuser is added at checkout
Natural Solutions	$450	oils, supplements, personal care and a diffuser

Prices as shown on October 18, 2026, current at the time of publication. The twelve oils in Nature’s Rx and Home Essentials are the same: Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Copaiba, Frankincense, Breathe, On Guard, DigestZen, Balance, Serenity and Deep Blue. Single bottles cost $29 for Lavender 15 mL (retail $38.67) and $15.50 for Lemon.

Nature’s Rx or Home Essentials?

Same oils, different sizes. Nature’s Rx gives you 5 mL bottles for $149.50, enough to find out which ones you actually reach for. Home Essentials puts eleven of them in 15 mL bottles and adds a diffuser for $280, which works out cheaper per drop if you already know you’ll use them daily. Our tip: tick the oils you really plan to use in our calculator and compare both kits with buying those bottles one by one.

Step by step: the US enrollment form

We first opened the US form on October 27, 2026 and rechecked Select Kit and Your Order on November 11. No personal data was entered, no account was created and no payment was attempted. The bar at the top lists six steps: Select Kit, Your Order, Account Setup, Shipping, Payment, Review Order.

On Select Kit you see four kits and a “Build your own bag” option for single products. If you only want a few bottles, compare two sample US orders with Nature’s Rx before choosing. Home Essentials isn’t among the four; open it with “Shop all Starter Kits” or straight from the kit button on our kits page. If you came from the button on our home page, our member number 10452588 is already attached. Account Setup is where you create your login; if the form asks for an account type, choose Wholesale Customer. Shipping takes your US address, then come payment and a final review. If the form throws an error, see common enrollment form errors.

Sales tax, shipping and the bag total

Prices on doterra.com are listed before sales tax. If your state charges it, it is added at checkout together with shipping, so the bag total is the number to look at before you pay.

Can I buy without joining?

You can: any doterra.com product page sells at retail without an account. On our home page, once the US is selected, the “Buy without an account” button opens the store with our member number attached, so we can help if an order goes wrong. With membership free right now, though, joining costs nothing and the same Lavender bottle is $29 instead of $38.67. More in buying without a membership.

Not sure about the account type? Wholesale customer or Wellness Advocate explains the difference. Living in Canada? The Canadian collections and names are different; see how to join in Canada. Questions about the US form: write to us on Telegram, WhatsApp or by email.

Prices are current at the time of publication and the bag shows the exact total before you pay. dōTERRA products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Prices and terms are set by dōTERRA; the enrollment form shows the current amounts.

Questions and answers

Can I open the free membership without buying anything?

The cart checked on 11 November 2026 showed Membership FREE, with $35 crossed out, but required a product before checkout. We did not complete registration or enter personal information.

Why does an official FAQ still mention a $35 fee?

That FAQ describes becoming a Wellness Advocate. The current US Wholesale Customer agreement says there is no signup fee, and our customer enrollment route shows free membership with a purchase. Do not treat customer and business-account conditions as interchangeable.

What happened to the Family Essentials kit?

It is no longer in the US enrollment form. On October 18, 2026 its place went to the Nature's Rx Kit at $149.50: twelve 5 mL oils (the same twelve as US Home Essentials) plus fractionated coconut oil.

Do I have to order every month?

No. A customer account does not require a monthly order. The free first-year membership route does require an initial product purchase. The rewards programme is a separate choice; read its current US terms before enabling recurring orders.

Which languages is the US form in?

The form is in English, and the kit descriptions can be switched to Spanish or Chinese. If something is unclear, message us and we'll go through it with you.

How much is the renewal?

The official US membership comparison lists an annual $25 renewal fee with a free product. This is separate from the free first-year customer membership with purchase. Check the renewal offer and total shown for your account.
