Derived from a specific chemotype rich in α-terpineol, Thyme ct α-terpineol essential oil distinguishes itself through its fruity aroma with a slightly camphoraceous character and its antispasmodic, expectorant and antimicrobial properties.
Used to relieve respiratory and digestive disorders, it combines gentleness and efficacy in a unique olfactory profile, appreciated by professional formulators.
A TRULY FRENCH ORIGIN
Grown in France, the plants from our producers are distilled either in the Drôme Provençale (fixed distillery unit), or directly in the harvest field (mobile distillery unit), then packaged in our warehouse in Isère.
Each batch is traced from the plot to the bottle, with analyses conducted by a French laboratory.
A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE
This locally grown plant can represent a relevant alternative to popular exotic essential oils.
Despite their natural origin, these can have a significant environmental impact (deforestation, pressure on biodiversity, carbon-intensive transport).
Here is an example:
The Tea tree offers a broader antimicrobial spectrum, while Thyme ct α-terpineol provides a gentler decongestant and antispasmodic effect.
Please note: Each essential oil has a unique identity, and the same plant can also vary depending on its origin. The equivalences proposed here do not aim to fully replace exotic plants, but to explore complementary alternatives based on your needs.
This comparison is part of an approach to promote Made in France and Made in Europe products, while encouraging responsible use of oils sourced from fragile ecosystems such as Tea Tree or Ylang-Ylang.
