One Herb, Many Faces

The rare gentle chemotype of a famously fierce plant.

Common thyme has grown across the Mediterranean for millennia, prized in kitchens and apothecaries alike.

Depending on altitude, soil and climate, the same plant produces strikingly different oils known as chemotypes.

The linalool type, favoured in higher mountain growing regions, is the softest of the family, carrying thyme's character without its usual bite.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For skin use, dilute to 1-3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan; this chemotype is far gentler than thymol-rich thyme, but dilution still matters.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.

  • Children

Keep out of reach of children; for children over 3, use only at very low dilution and consult a qualified aromatherapist. Confirm the oil is the linalool chemotype, as thymol and carvacrol types are not suitable for children.

  • Pregnancy

If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use.

  • Pets

Keep away from pets; diffuse only in ventilated spaces and never apply to animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and light; linalool oxidises over time and oxidised oil is more likely to irritate skin, so use within about 12-18 months of opening.
