Thyme ct. linalool Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Thyme ct. Linalool Essential Oil is a gentle, floral-herbal variety of thyme , distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris . Unlike the more aggressive thymol and carvacrol chemotypes, this type is rich in linalool , making it mild, skin-friendly, and balancing while still retaining thyme's warm herbal strength.
It is especially valued for delicate applications such as children's blends, sensitive skin, and calming aromatherapy, where traditional thyme oils may be too harsh. In perfumery, it adds a soft, herbaceous-floral nuance with subtle woody undertones.
At Herbsmetics, Thyme ct. Linalool is introduced in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience its gentler side compared to thymol-rich thyme and learn how chemotypes can transform aroma and application.
