Description
White Thyme Essential Oil *Pro
Amber glass bottle with dropper containing 30 ml
Discover the 100% pure white thyme essential oil, a natural treasure extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris or Thymus zygis. Renowned for its powerful, herbaceous, and slightly sweet aroma, this oil is a staple in aromatherapy and natural care. Gentler than its counterpart, red thyme, due to a redistillation process that renders it nearly colorless, it retains a high thymol content (45% or more), a compound with exceptional antiseptic and stimulating properties. Whether you aim to boost your immune system, purify your skin, or invigorate your mind, white thyme essential oil is a versatile and valuable ally.
Flash Point
The flash point of white thyme essential oil is typically around 55°C (131°F), requiring caution near heat sources or open flames. This characteristic ensures stability under common usage conditions, such as diffusion or diluted topical application, while maintaining optimal safety when stored in a cool, dark place.
History
Thyme’s history spans millennia, rooted in Mediterranean traditions. Ancient Egyptians used it in embalming rituals, while Greeks valued it in baths and temples to invoke courage. In the Middle Ages, thyme was placed under pillows to ward off nightmares, and during World War I, its oil was used to disinfect battlefield wounds. Today, white thyme essential oil carries forward this legacy, blending ancient wisdom with modern applications, making it a cornerstone of natural medicine and cosmetics.
Phototoxicity
Good news for natural care enthusiasts: white thyme essential oil is not phototoxic. Unlike some citrus oils, it does not cause skin reactions under sun exposure, making it ideal for topical use at any time of day, provided it is properly diluted with a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond oil.
Precautions
While powerful and beneficial, white thyme essential oil requires caution due to its high thymol content, which can irritate the skin if used undiluted. Always dilute it with a carrier oil (e.g., 1–2 drops in 15 ml of oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; in case of accidental exposure, rinse thoroughly with a vegetable oil. Do not ingest without consulting a healthcare professional, and keep out of reach of children. Use sparingly, as prolonged high-dose use may lead to toxicity.
Contraindications
This oil is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 2 years old due to its potency and potential irritant effects. Individuals with hypertension should avoid it, as its stimulating properties may increase blood pressure. If you are allergic to thyme or other Lamiaceae family plants (such as mint or lavender), perform a patch test to avoid rare allergic reactions, such as rashes or respiratory discomfort.
