INCI: Thymus vulgaris

Escentia Thyme (Red) Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil from Thymus vulgaris , steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops. It has a strong, herbaceous, spicy aroma and is used in aromatherapy, room fragrancing, and diluted body blends where a more powerful botanical profile is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or perfume. Because it is a particularly strong oil, it should always be used with care and proper dilution.

♡ Why we love it: Red thyme has a bold, warming character that brings real depth and energy to a blend. It is especially appealing for experienced essential oil users who enjoy stronger herbaceous oils and want something that feels grounding, purposeful, and full of presence.
