Sourced from French Mediterranean scrublands, Thyme essential oil with paracymene stands out for its molecular specificity, where para-cymene predominates, conferring to this oil an antibacterial and analgesic profile of foremost importance.


Its spectrum of action covers both the ENT sphere and osteo-articular systems, with high skin tolerance and excellent synergy with other EOs from the local supply chain, while remaining accessible to 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:

Plant: Tea tree
Origin: Australia
Comparison:

Tea tree presents a broader antimicrobial spectrum, while thyme with paracymene effectively targets skin pathogens and ENT conditions thanks to its high content of paracymene and thymol,


with a reduced ecological impact.

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.
