Essential oil rich in geraniol, obtained by steam distillation of flowering tops of thyme.

It is distinguished by its sweet, floral and lemony fragrance, and offers recognized antifungal and skin-toning properties, while remaining a gentler option than other thyme chemotypes in professional formulations.

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:

Plant: Tea tree
Origin: Australia
Comparison:

The tea tree possesses a broader antimicrobial spectrum, while geraniol thyme stands out for its more targeted skin-toning and antifungal action.


In topical application, geraniol thyme complements the effect of tea tree thanks to its milder fragrance and superior skin tolerance.

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.
