FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Warmth That Wakes the Senses: Thyme Essential Oil (White) has a bold, spicy, and herbaceous scent — powerful, yet more refined than red thyme. The redistillation process softens its sharper edges, resulting in a warm, invigorating aroma ideal for blends that call for a cleansing, clarifying kick.
White vs. Red Thyme: While both come from the same Thymus species, white thyme is typically a redistilled version of red thyme, yielding a sweeter, less terpenic, and more nuanced aroma. It’s perfect for products that require a gentler note.
The Oil of Purification: White Thyme Essential Oil contains a high percentage of thymol, a phenolic compound known for its natural cleansing qualities. Historically, thyme was burned to purify and protect.
Bottled Courage: The name “thyme” traces back to the Greek word thymos, meaning courage or spiritedness. Ancient Greeks used thyme in baths and pillows to encourage restful sleep and ward off nightmares, while medieval knights received thyme sprigs as symbols of bravery.
Makers’ Gold: Clear skin? Check. Healthy scalp? Check. Fresh spaces? Double-check. White Thyme Essential Oil brings natural cleansing power to a variety of formulations that support skin, hair, and home wellness.
DESCRIPTION

Influenced by climate, soil, and altitude, Thymus zygis produces a high-quality oil with a slightly sweeter, less terpenic profile than red thyme – ideal for skin and hair care, and aromatherapy products that call for a potent yet balanced herbaceous note.
Historically associated with purification, courage, and protection, thyme has long held a place in rituals and remedies.
