Thyme Oil Description

Plant oil (Latin name Thymus vulgaris) that is a source of potent antioxidants, but its fragrant components (which are part of the oil itself) pose a risk of sensitivity. For this reason, products with thyme extract are a safer bet in terms of getting the “good” antioxidants from thyme without the volatile fragrance components that, while also being antioxidants, may also harm skin. For more information, see the entry for _Thymus Vulgaris_ Oil.
