How to Buy doTERRA Products and Save 25%
By the AfterTheSport Team β Active-lifestyle & doTERRA enthusiasts
You just finished a long run and your training buddy mentions using a cooling rub from doTERRA that makes post-run legs feel amazing. Now you are searching for how to actually buy it without getting lost in the process. The most direct route is to open a free customer account and purchase any product at the member price, which is 25% off the retail price. No kit is mandatory, no monthly commitment exists, and registration takes about five minutes. You can add a single item like Deep Blue Rub to your cart and check out immediately. Many active people also choose an enrollment kit because it often exceeds 150 PV, which waives a small annual membership fee while offering better overall value. Either way, your order ships directly to you, and the 25% member discount applies on everything from that point forward.
Two Ways to Get Started With doTERRA
When you buy doTERRA for the first time, you have two straightforward paths. Both give you the same 25% member discount, and neither ties you to a subscription. The difference lies in how quickly you reach the 150 PV order threshold, which determines whether a small annual fee is charged.
| Path | What You Get | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Place a Standard Order | Any single product(s) you choose, no minimum | Trying one oil first, staying under 150 PV |
| Start With an Enrollment Kit | A curated collection of oils and supplements, usually bundles savings | Value-conscious buyers who want a full wellness toolkit immediately |
If you start with a single product and love it, you can always buy a kit later. There is no wrong door, and your member discount stays active regardless of which path you pick.
Step-by-Step: How to Open Your Account
Here is the exact process we walk our friends through when they ask how to buy doTERRA for the first time:
Choose your starter product or kit. Decide whether you want a single item, like Deep Blue for a cooling post-workout sensation, or a comprehensive collection like the Home Essentials Enrollment Kit.
Click the product link. Use a direct link that carries the correct enrollment pathway; this ensures your account is set up properly from the start.
Enter your details. Fill in your email, name, and shipping address. The form is short and straightforward.
Choose your shipping address. Your order ships directly to you, typically within a few business days.
Complete your purchase. Add the product to your cart and check out. If your order total exceeds 150 PV, the small annual fee is automatically waived.
Once you complete checkout, you receive a confirmation email with your account details. From that moment, every future order automatically reflects the 25% member price; no re-enrollment or monthly purchase is required.
Which Products Should Active People Buy First?
After years of using these oils alongside training, we have a short list of favorites that make the most sense for someone with an active routine. These are the products experienced users consistently recommend to newcomers.
Strong starting points include the Simple Solutions Enrollment Kit, which bundles Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon alongside the Lifelong Vitality Pack for daily nutritional support. Runners and cyclists often gravitate toward the Deep Blue family for its well-known cooling sensation during post-workout self-care rituals. Breathe is another popular pick for creating a fresh, open environment during indoor training sessions.
For a lighter entry, you might start with Tea Tree and Frankincense, two versatile oils with a long history of traditional use. The Essentials Kit also gives you a focused selection at a practical starting point.
What we recommend most often is to pick a kit that aligns with your daily habits. If you already take supplements, something with the Lifelong Vitality Pack adds natural continuity. If you prefer topical rituals, a Deep Blue-focused start feels intuitive.
FAQ
Do I have to buy a kit to get the 25% member discount?
No, a kit is entirely optional. You can open a free account and purchase any single product at the member price. Kits are popular because they often exceed the 150 PV threshold that waives the small annual fee while offering bundled value.
How long does the member discount last?
The 25% discount applies to every purchase you make as a member, with no expiration or mandatory renewal purchases. If you do not reorder, nothing happens; your account simply sits idle until you choose to buy again.
Can I try products before committing to a larger order?
Yes, many people start with one or two oils like Deep Blue Rub or Breathe and add more over time. The member price applies to every order, whether it contains one item or ten, so there is no pressure to buy in bulk initially.
Wrapping Up
Getting started with doTERRA is simpler than it looks from the outside. Open a free account, pick whatever product fits your routine, and your member price locks in on the first order. From a single cooling rub to a full daily wellness kit, the path bends around how much or how little you want to explore.
