about this product
What is Thyme Essential Oil?
Thyme Essential Oil is the steam-distilled essential oil of Thymus vulgaris, in the Lamiaceae family, a plant native to the Mediterranean. It is drawn from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant. It comes from the culinary thyme herb and is sold in several chemotypes.
About the oil
Thyme essential oil is distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris, common thyme. It is rich in the phenolic compounds thymol and carvacrol. Thyme oil is sold in several chemotypes: the thymol chemotype is the common, sharp general-purpose oil, while the linalool and thujanol chemotypes are notably gentler and are preferred where a milder thyme oil is wanted.
Thyme is a classic Mediterranean culinary and garden herb, and the distilled oil carries its sharp, herbaceous scent.
Aroma and character
The aroma of thyme oil is sharp, herbaceous, and slightly camphoraceous.

Safety and handling
Thymol-chemotype thyme oil is a strong skin irritant, so it should be well diluted in a carrier oil before any topical use and kept away from the eyes; the linalool chemotype is gentler. Store it out of reach of children and pets. This oil is not intended for internal use.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
