About this product
The scent of thyme in flower, with the bite taken out. Of all the thyme cultivars this is the gentlest, the one to reach for when you love the herb but not its sharpness on the skin.
It is Thymus vulgaris chemotype linalool, organically produced and steam-distilled from the flowering tops in Spain. What sets it apart is what it lacks: it contains no discernible thymol or carvacrol, the intensely irritating components that make some thyme oils unsuitable for topical use. It is lower in the gentle esters than our wild-grown French thyme linalool, but it shares that soft-natured character, and it is the thyme we suggest when a gentler one is wanted.
Details
- Botanical name: Thymus vulgaris ct. linalool

How to use

The soft side of a strong herb, for the gentlest corner of the cabinet.
