## Description

### Natural Thyme Essential Oil - Thymus vulgaris -


**Neutral Chemotype Thyme Essential Oil (Thymus vulgaris)**


Thyme essential oil (*Thymus vulgaris*) stands out for its perfect balance between powerful biochemical compounds that provide therapeutic properties, without the aggressive characteristics of other thyme chemotypes. This essential oil offers versatile and effective action for both cosmetic care and natural health.


#### Aromatic and Organoleptic Description


Thyme has an aroma that harmonizes the best aspects of this type of plant. Its fragrance is warm, herbal, and slightly earthy, with subtle notes of pine and sweet spices. It is not as pungent as other thyme chemotypes (such as thymol or carvacrol), making it a much softer and more balanced option for both cosmetic and therapeutic use. Its natural freshness is accompanied by a calming undertone, evoking the sensation of walking among wild herbs in the warmth of the sun.


#### Properties


Neutral thyme combines gentleness and effectiveness. Among its most notable properties are:




- **Antiseptic**: Perfect for cleaning wounds and keeping affected areas free from bacteria.

- **Mild anti-inflammatory**: Soothes inflamed areas, especially in sensitive or irritation-prone skin.

- **Immune-stimulating**: Boosts the body's defenses, especially useful during times of higher risk of respiratory infections.

- **Antioxidant**: Protects the skin from free radicals, contributing to healthier and younger-looking skin.

- **Antispasmodic**: Relieves muscle tension and pain associated with stress or intense exercise.



#### Differences from Other Thyme Chemotypes


There are various varieties of thyme, and its chemotype depends on the concentration of certain active compounds. Thymol chemotype, for example, is very strong and mainly used as an antiseptic, but can be irritating to the skin. Linalool chemotype is gentler and suitable for sensitive skin, though less potent in antiseptic properties. Neutral thyme, however, is the perfect balance: offering potent yet gentle action, without being too harsh or too weak.
