FAQ — Thyme Essential Oil (Thymus satureioides) (manufacturer)

First, our Thyme essential oil is 100% pure and natural, distilled from the flowering aerial parts of Thymus satureioides. It offers a warm, aromatic and slightly woody scent that works well in concentrated blends and rinse-off care. In addition, the oil is naturally rich in borneol, α-terpineol, carvacrol and thymol, which give it a strong, characteristic thyme profile. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} Finally, you can explore more references in the Essential Oils collection or contact our team for custom projects.

What makes Thyme essential oil different?

To begin with, Thyme essential oil brings a dry, aromatic strength that anchors citrus and floral accords. Moreover, its spicy-herbal heart note adds depth to wellness balms, foot care and spa shower gels. Because the oil is very powerful, formulators usually work at low levels and build the rest of the fragrance around it. As a result, it fits professional blends that need a clear, “clean air” impression with a natural origin.

How to use it — dilution & applications (step by step)

1. First, always dilute Thyme essential oil in a suitable carrier before skin contact.
2. Next, for leave-on face products, keep the level very low (for example below 0.05%) and follow local guidelines.
3. Then, in body oils, balms or massage blends, start around 0.1–0.3% and adjust after tests.
4. Afterwards, in soaps, shower gels or shampoos, use it as part of the total perfume concentrate only.
5. In addition, perform a 24-hour patch test on the inner forearm before first personal use.
6. Finally, for home care or diffusion, add just a few drops to a blend and ventilate the room well.

Furthermore, always follow your safety assessor’s advice and current IFRA standards when you design finished products. In case of doubt, reduce the dosage and combine Thyme oil with softer notes such as citrus, lavender or pine.

1) Is it natural? What’s the INCI/source?

Yes, this is a 100% pure and natural essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the aerial parts of Thymus satureioides. A common INCI name is Thymus Satureioides Oil. It is not blended with other fragrance materials and does not contain added solvents.

2) Typical constituents and aroma?

In general, the oil contains a high share of borneol, α-terpineol, carvacrol and thymol, together with monoterpenes such as camphene, p-cymene and γ-terpinene. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} These molecules create a warm, resinous and slightly spicy thyme scent with aromatic and woody facets.
