Throughout history, it has showed us that Thyme oil is actually a really great fighter against deadly bacteria, a natural preservative to stop food borne illnesses and food from spoiling, and an insect repellent just like citronella but it also keeps fleas, lice, and moths away. It can also be used on your skin and hair to prevent the look of aging by tightening it and preventing breakouts and hair loss, making you look years younger.

The essential oil is cultivated, harvested and extracted from France.

The Thyme essential oil is extracted from the flowering top and leaves of the plant.

The essential oil is 100% pure & natural. Meaning, the essential oil comes from plants that are free from any kind of dilutions, chemicals or pesticides usage.

The extraction and harvesting methods focus on sustainability of the natural ecosystem, ensuring that the balance between human needs and nature’s bounty can coexist in harmony. We ensure that every essential oil sent to our customers are in its purest and natural form.

[dropcap style=”font-size: 25px; color: #ff9900;”]M[/dropcap]ethod of Extraction

The Thyme essential oil is extracted via Steam Distillation from the flowering top and leaves of the plant.

The botanical material (Thymus Vulgaris) is placed in a still and hot steam. The aromatic molecules from the plant material are released as the hot steam excretes out the oils kept within the plant material. The molecules of these precious and volatile oils escape the plant and evaporate into the steam.

The temperature of the steam is carefully controlled to ensure that the plant material and the essential oil are not burned but is hot enough for the extraction of the essential oils out of the plant.

The steam which contains the essential oil passes through a cooling system to condense the steam into a liquid. The liquid substance which contains both water and the essential oil are separated. The essential oils are then stored in a dark and cool environment to maintain optimal potency levels and reduce oxidation.

 [dropcap style=”font-size: 25px; color: #76bc41;”]C[/dropcap]emistry Testing
